That was indeed a fun movie. It made me want to do research on the days before the Apollo 11 launch with all the funding issues to see if there were fears of not getting it before lift-off.

The cast did a great job. All roles, both fake and real were done very well. There was a lot of heart throughout the film. Other than being in a theater for Star Wars back in 1977, I think watching Apollo 11 launch would be another choice if I could go back in time to see a big event like that.

There have been a couple movies that took place during the launch both fictional stories and more concrete ones founded in reality, and I’ve always enjoyed them. Every time you see the people in the control room anticipating the successful launch, landing and return, you always feel it. You hold your breath, you let it go when it all goes well even though you know how it ends. And I certainly felt that here too.

Yes it was also a romcom, and it worked in each scene with the two leads. There was humor and serious moments, it was just enjoyable to watch the two mesh. The music was also fun, I think almost everything was of the time but there were a couple modern day choices.

I had fun watching this movie and will probably watch it again when it comes to a home release. If you want a uncomplicated enjoyable experience, go for it!
