Moon

Moon is a pretty good movie in the subgenre I just made up called "Space Crazy Movies." Those are movies that take place in space (or deep in the ocean, like The Abyss), and feature one or more characters going crazy OR ARE THEY? Also, like 2001, Sunshine, Solaris, and RocketMan starring Harlan Williams. The plot is Sam Rockwell is mining for moon rocks alone and then starts going crazy OR DOES HE?

RATING: 77%

Why is he mining for space rocks alone? Seems like that would require some sort of team?

Alone. That's why he was going space crazy. Well, he did have a robot friend, voiced by Kevin Spacey. But he didn't do any heavy lifting.

Another recent film, Pandorum, is slightly better in my opinion and it deals with the dangers of long-term space travel (going crazy and being boarded by crazies while you are in suspended animation).
