MOON (3-Stars): The always excellent Sam Rockwell stars in this good looking but derivative philosophical sci-fi film. He plays an astronaut working alone on a lunar mining base, and his only interactions are with his station’s robot computer (voiced by Kevin Spacey) and transmissions from his wife and baby on Earth. As he gets within a couple of weeks of his scheduled return, things start to get a little weird. Throw in some apparitions or hallucinations, a clone or two, and a government conspiracy for good measure, and you’ve got an OK mash-up of 2001:A SPACE ODYSSEY and SOLARIS and probably a couple of other titles I can’t think of at the moment.
