Sparks fly in all directions as marketing maven Kelly Jones, brought in to fix NASA's public image, wreaks havoc on Apollo 11 launch director Cole Davis' already difficult task of putting a man on the moon. When the White House deems the mission too important to fail, Jones is directed to stage a fake moon landing as backup, and the countdown truly begins.

My review · Reviewed 08/30/2024

This movie is a stylish retelling of the Apollo 11 moon landing (with some fiction dropped in to help the story) dressed up as a rom-com. I enjoyed the movie more than I thought i would - I don't know that I have ever seen ScarJo any better, and the movie was really nice to look at. I think the only thing that didn't work was Channing Tatum. I get that he is supposed to be playing a cool pilot, but he comes across as being completely wooden.
