Moonshot

POSITIVES

  • A romantic-comedy premise with a space travel setting? Meet cutes and awkward encounters? That’s a combo that works really well in this movie. 

  • The quirky, comedic, clever dialogue is really entertaining here. Plus the human - A.I. interactions just delighted me. Bantering with robots! 

  • Fantastic cast here. Cole Sprouse as Walt is a ball of charming energy, Lana Condor as Sophie is adorably serious and anxious. Plus all that wonderful supporting cast, from Michelle Buteau, Emily Rudd, Mason Gooding, Zach Braff, to Jac Huberman as Angie / Cornelia the A.I. voice, and Peter Woodward as Gary the Robot. .

  • One of the main reasons this is a fun movie to check out, is the oil and water relationship between Sophie and Walt which perfectly carries the plot. 

  • Commentary on fixing Earth's trash problem, and about class inequalities, is very Wall-E and I’m all in. 

NEGATIVES

  • It's not your most original narrative and you kinda know where it's going. 

  • Some unbelievable plot developments. Don't let that distract you too much. 

  • Not exactly your big budget sci-fi movie, and it shows. 

  • Besides space travel, the future tech presented isn't very sci-fi inspired. 

  • Is that an old iPhone or iPad that they're using in the future?!
