**** - A sci-fi film that hearkens back to the less action-oriented movies of the 60s and 70s, “Moon” stars Sam Rockwell as an astronaut stationed at a one-man lunar energy production facility who is beginning to go a little batty after three years there by himself. The lunar surface shots and station interiors are fantastic, and exactly how I imagine a moon base might look in the relatively near future. Rockwell does a nice job in multiple roles, and first time writer/director Duncan Jones pays homage to his predecessors while also carving out a spot for himself as (hopefully) the leader of a movement away from the constant explosions and chase scenes in most modern sci-fi films. This is supposedly the first part in a trilogy, and I am looking forward to the rest.
