Leave your thoughts about Moonshot.
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichAt heart, it’s a story you’ve seen countless times before — often told on a much larger scale. And yet it’s amazing how far you can go on the strength of some evocative production design, a few clever dashes of sci-fi world-building, and a goofy script that isn’t afraid to err closer to “Pillow Talk” than to “Before Sunrise.” |
| The New York TimesCalum MarshSprouse plays it a touch broad, veering sometimes from endearing to goofy. But Condor is note-perfect, and Winterbauer directs with a light, playful touch, giving the movie an energy that’s nimble and vibrantly sexy. |
| IGNMatt FowlerCole Sprouse and Lana Condor are a fun duo, capable of feeling human and endearing in the midst of cosmic turmoil. The movie's not a full home run, but it's surprisingly silly and shrewd. |
| Paste MagazineJacob OllerUnfortunately, even though Moonshot aims high, its misfire falls all the way back down to humble terra firma. |
| The GuardianLeslie FelperinMost welcome of all is the generous sprinkling of good one-liners thanks to screenwriter Max Taxe’s witty script, solid direction from Christopher Winterbauer, and a cast with nippy comic timing. |
| RogerEbert.comNick AllenMoonshot is the kind of movie that’s frustrating because of what makes it endearing—there’s so much that makes you wish it were more original. No rom-com set in space should feel this ordinary. |
| ColliderTherese LacsonThere is never a moment when you're swept away by the romance of Walt and Sophie and that should be the point of all of this. |
| User ReviewJorgeGonzalez92Silly at times, but certainly endearing. Pleasant enough to watch and not regret it. The two lead actors are talented enough and have more than enough chemistry to make them fun to watch. It also helps that neither actor finds themselves too good to be goofy on screen. |
| User ReviewCadeologyGood movie where both the lead actor and actress have good chemistry together. Obviously not one of the best movies ever but certainly a good popcorn movie to watch on movie night. Overall a good watch that shows that Cole Sprouse still has potential for great roles in cinema. |
| User ReviewRoyzenAn enjoyable Romcom, though they try, the chemistry just doesn't click for me |
