Review of Moonshot (2022) by Smb12321 — 02 Apr 2022

This is what happens when experienced Hollywood writers are replaced with kids. I would say "cute" although "cutesy" is more apt. Formulaic and predictable. None of it makes sense - despite terraforming Mars nothing has changed on Earth (computers with robotic voice).

Would we spend hundreds of millions sending folks unprepared, untrained, unskilled teens to another planet? The romance was (again) cute, PG+, dull dialogue but probably OK for its intended audience - 12-15 yr old teens.

It's pure Hollywood - teen angst and parties, school traumas, racially mixed romances, the requisite gay couple, safe, ultra-light dialogue. It is saved only by the couple who tried with what they had.

But why bother with a fake space setting? It would have been far more effective on Earth with a tad more drama.
