Watched Fly Me To The Moon the other day, enjoyed it very much, it was a fun little period piece full of 60's kitschy nostalgia and lots of A-list actors that all put in solid performances
Scarlett Johansson was hot as fuck as usual, Woody Harrelson was his charming best as the nameless CIA spook and the flamboyant over the top gay director was hilarious, plus it had a lot of beautiful classic cars in it
Story was straight forward, they gotta secretly film the moon landing on a sound stage to use as an emergency back up just in case the television broadcast equipment on the real moon landing mission malfunctions, lots of funny moments and wild slapstick comedy ensues along the way
There were a few genuine sad moments as we relived the horrible failures of the early Apollo missions
The rom com elements is paint by numbers but nothing wrong with that as its a side piece to the main storyline, figuring out how the heck they were gonna pull off this massive deception in front of the whole wide world with no one noticing
Loved seeing all that primitive retro technology and obviously the conspiracy shenanigans was right up my alley
The producers did a great job recreating the 60's that we know from television, it reminded me a lot of Back To The Future in that way
All in all, a fun trip to the stars that I highly recommend if youre in the mood for a wacky little adventure thats full of charm and some genuine heartfelt emotion
Its exactly what you expect it to be from the trailer so if you like that, you'll like the movie
