Moon (44) Movie Review

One of German filmmaker Roland Emmerich's Hollywood-style B movies before he had a mainstream commercial hit with Stargate. Filching largely from Outland, it's mediocre mayhem about cop Michael Pare going undercover as a cosmic convict. His mission: thwart corporate marauders planning to attack a giant space prison that doubles as a mining colony. Some impressive f/x are largely lost on the small screen.
