Moonshot (2022)

This film follows the same template as most romcoms, the two pretend to be boyfriend-girlfriend, despite disliking one another, but then they can't help but fall for one another ...except this takes place in space.

Moonshot is definitely tailored for young viewers, and in that sense it is entertaining, funny, and cute. I found the beginning to be weird or slow, but once they get into space things start to pick up. I also thought the chemistry could be better between the two, as some romantic scenes felt too forced. But they are meant to be a quirky and 'different' couple from most romcom couples, and I thought they were able to pull that off together.

Fmovies: This is predictable and silly. Not worthy of review. My only question is if they are on a shuttle to Mars why is the movie called Moonshot? Asking for a friend.

This movie is so underrated, I'm so glad I accidentally pressed play.

It's funny, well written and it's something I've never seen before. I really like the 50ies touch on the fashion and colours.

I like how slow it is, and each scene is so overthinked(?).

Moonshot is definitely on my top 20 movies.

Moonshot fmovies. I was totally expecting another OK romcom but this flick surprised me.

I busted out laughing quite a few times.

The AI robots are the funniest.

Maybe it's just me but I loved it.

Just try it.

Moonshot was supposed to enchant me, but it never did. Condor's natural charisma should carry this, but Sprouse's Ryan Reynolds Lite chatter-snark grinds it to a halt. Goofy omnipresent robot voices interject one-liners, unmemorable supporting characters come and go, and the obligatory pseudo-philosophical two-blips-in-the-vastness-of-the-universe moments are more corny than profound. Such things aren't good or funny enough to take our attention away from the painful reality that our two protagonists are so thin and generic that their love story is dormant.

Among the hilarity, Moonshot primarily featured some light drama centered on two young people trying to figure out who they are and what they want to be, culminating with Walt giving Sophie advice about her relationship with another Mars-dwelling Dude. If properly executed and written, it would be a good starting point. However, the film tries to combine two genres by juxtaposing lightly combative banter and forced tender moments against Ikea Basics Spaceship backdrops, which, despite establishing a more cheery and optimistic tone than the usual austere dystopian-future fodder, feels like two ideas crudely stapled together. After seeing this, I honestly believe that Wall E and EVE had more chemistry and a better storyline than this film and lead casts.

In short, if you have nothing to do and nothing to watch one evening, you can stream it. Because- Moonshot appears to be a different kind of rom-com, but it tells the same old story. For me, it is only a one-time watch film.

Didn't think I would like this but it ended up better than expected. It won't win any Emmy's but I don't think it's intention is awards. It's a fun and easy watch for passing time. Give it a go.
