A tepid retread through familiar yet emotionally devoid waters

Rating: 3/10 (11 July 2009)

Science fiction as a genre has pretty much been dead for the past eight years. Duncan Jones has attempted to revive the genre with his directorial debut, Moon. Unfortunately, this attempted reinvigoration quickly devolves into nothing more than a regurgitation of nearly every sci-fi movie since 1968.
I can only assume Duncan Jones' original outline to his producer read something like: "Start with 2001, add a half cup Silent Running, a pint WallÂ•E, and a pinch of Alien. Whisk until The Sixth Day starts to take form then just keep pouring in Solaris until you hit the 90 minute mark. (And if you're feeling particularly festive, you can even garnish it with a single leaf of Midnight Cowboy.)"
