Fly Me to the Moon – Movie Review, Streaming, and Download
The movie “Fly Me to the Moon” ventures through various genres including retro rom-com, political satire, and drama but struggles to find a cohesive tone. Directed by Greg Berlanti, the film lacks chemistry between its stars, Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum. Johansson shines as Kelly Jones, an ad executive in the late ’60s tasked with promoting the space program. Her transformation and ability to connect with people provide engaging moments in the film.
Kelly’s supposed romantic involvement with Cole Davis, played by Tatum, lacks depth beyond their physical appeal. The mismatched chemistry between Johansson and Tatum creates a disconnect in the film, originally intended for Chris Evans to play Cole. As the plot unfolds and secrets are revealed, the movie struggles to maintain a consistent pace, with some scenes feeling prolonged and tedious.
“Fly Me to the Moon” delves into conspiracy theories surrounding the moon landing and its portrayal as a farce rather than a serious drama. The film’s multiple endings and unclear focus make it challenging to follow the storyline cohesively. Despite the efforts of the supporting cast, the film’s muddled narrative and tonal shifts hinder the overall viewing experience.
