MOVIE REVIEW
There’s nothing like the future of the past. The Space Station 76 depicts a futuristic space station as if it were made in the 1970s. The oddly alluring drama-comedy is less concerned with the sci-fi aspects of its premise than the quirky characters:
- One woman spends her days socializing with a valium-prescribing psychiatrist robot.
- The captain, played by Patrick Wilson, is a mustache-wearing, cigarette-smoking curmudgeon who hates his life.
- Another man, with a hand that looks like Nintendo’s Power Glove (it may actually be a Power Glove), longs for a more exciting life, or at least for Liv Tyler.
- Jerry O’Connell.
