Movie debuts April 1 on Netflix
It's a return to form. Director Richard Linklater's first feature in three years (following a rare misfire, Where'd You Go, Bernadette) is also his first animated film since 2006's A Scanner Darkly and utilizes some of the same rotoscope techniques (along with other animation formats). The semi-autobiographical film is set around the time of the first moon landing in the summer of 1969 as that momentous event is viewed through two very different perspectives: that of the astronauts themselves (along with Mission Control), and another from the viewpoint of a young kid in Houston who is inspired by watching the landing on TV. The best-known names in the ensemble cast include Jack Black and Zachary Levi, and critics praised the film when it debuted at SXSW a few weeks ago.
