What You Might Like About Moonshot(2022)

The Ambiance

The lighting, added in the sequences is so fresh and delicate that will genuinely please you. It is soft, cool, and current. We should not forget the groovy background score as well, these perfected every sequence of the film making it entertaining and engaging.

The Background

The story of Moonshot(2022) is set in 2049 when humans are on the verge of settling on the deadlands of Mars. Only the rich can get their access without any hassle or if you get selected under the Kovi Industries Student Mars Program. Walt played by Cole Sprouse dreams of going to Mars however due to lack of knowledge and experience on the subject, his application is rejected 37 times. However, as the movie progresses, the main leads find a solution to get their way up to the Red Planet.

The Actors

The movie casts only a few names which were sufficient to build a nice storyline. The main leads did their part notably well. Actually, both stole their chances and you will love the chemistry that they projected on the screen.

The Depiction Of Outer Space

Yes, the production team tried their best in portraying the exactness of our Red Planet on screen. The movie only showed the last 30 minutes or so of the planet which was kind of upsetting yet satisfying. But the additional depiction of the interstellar montages was nice which would make your Moonshot time good.

The Romance

The love story shown in the movie is kiddish and is perfectly suitable for all the teenagers or college-goers out there. The subject of love that is depicted in the story is easy and replaceable, which is actually not the case unless and until it is not love and just an infatuation or a crush in accuracy.

The Direction

It was nice but not up to the mark. You will enjoy the movie and every stance of the show. However, something remains missing which fails to add gravity to the plot.

The Ending

Since it is a Rom-Com, well, you know what is going to be the ending right? Yes, it is a happy ending, however, it is similar to that of any fairy tale which kind of makes the movie flippant. Well, the whole expedition to Mars seems meaningless when it ends.

TOTT’s Take On Moonshot(2022)

It is an undemanding story that one will easily forget in the next couple of months. No offense to the cast, although an effortless project still you will love the leads in their roles. It is a light-hearted movie that is packed with arguments, some sci-fi terms, pretentious love, some good friendship shots, stunning visuals, and a long rocket trip summarizing every bit of the movie. Overall it is a cool entertaining flick that would neither disappoint you nor exhilarate you.
