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 EarthThis 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.… Expand

Didn't make it past the first 5 minutes. Although there are some interesting components to it, none of it really worked for me.

Romantic comedies often boast too much about not trying something innovative in their formula.

Most of the time it's too difficult because any viewer is more than capable of intuiting how it will end just by watching the lead actors in their marketing material, and 99% of the time they will be right. Now, while Moonshot does might seem different, it's fair to ask whether a film that involves space trips to Mars should feel so lazy and exanimous.

Cole Sprouse and his brother really don't know how to act and Cole proves it again here. Lana Condor, who's nothing special as a performer either, outdoes him in every scene they share.
Now we have to add the huge problem I've had with films of this type involving somewhat teenagers because they give them dialogue that sounds as artificial as their relationships.
So it becomes complicated to connect with them, and not because some of their problems are not real or compelling, but because they don't feel natural. The romantic construction is, as you might expect, quite simple. In this stuff you have to be practical no matter how much your surroundings try to be more ambitious.
There are no surprises and no mistakes. You know where it all goes and of course how it all ends.

I'm not against basic, sugar-coated movies for audiences who just want to be entertained, but I'll never be in favor of stories that make no effort whatsoever to break away from the norm.… Expand
