Why watch this film?
Our suggestions
Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum star as a marketing maven and a by-the-book launch director who team up for a mission set against the high-stakes backdrop of NASA’s historic Apollo 11 moon landing.
"Fly me to the Moon is an unexpected Hidden Figures: this production by filmmaker Greg Berlanti (Love, Simon) is a charming and likable movie that tells the story of a hard-nosed marketing director (Scarlett Johansson) who, on a mission to make the trip to the Moon more palatable and accessible to the general public, ends up developing feelings for one of NASA's directors (Channing Tatum). As a backdrop, of course, are the challenges of making this mission a reality, along with all the marketing tricks involved in the equation, reminiscent of what we saw in Air and other movies about the behind-the-scenes of products. Fly me to the Moon never manages to be truly bold and disruptive, despite the out-of-the-box idea, but it should still elicit some sighs."
