Moonshot

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.

Very bland. Lots of Elon Musk hero worship (not referred to directly). Very Hallmarky, sugary Disneyesque.

The 2 main leads are annoying. The useless, nerd white loser and the unlikeable uptight Asian girl seen it all before.

There is just nothing to reccomend here unless you are a 10 year old girl.

I must give Lana Condor a credit for being able to bring some gravitas to her rather bland character. Alas, the same cannot say about Cole Sprouse. He's only making his irritating character worse. Despite how much effort Lana and Cole try to give, the romance between Sophie and Walt is still unconvincing, dull, and cringey.

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.

After closing it once and walking away, I came back because no one else expressed how much this was would have been a movie on Disney. I guess because the male lead still acts like he did when he was on Disney. There were funny parts, I loved the Captain (Michelle Buteau), but not enough good parts to make this above a just average movie.
