This weekend you can see a space-related movie, but it is light fare that probably should have been released on Apple TV+.
Fly Me to the Moon is a romantic comedy centered on an Apollo 11 Moon mission starring Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum. All you need to know is shown in this trailer.
Dramatizing the Apollo 11 mission is fine, but the part of the story about trying to fake the Moon landing does not seem necessary, particularly nowadays when conspiracy kooks are around every corner.
The movie Capricorn One about a fake landing on Mars had a time and a place in a troubled America, but the use of a fake landing here is just a cheap stunt adding little value to the film.
Luckily, real life drama can be so much better than Hollywood drama. I think I will skip this movie and watch Apollo 13 again.
