Movie Review: FLY ME TO THE MOON Has Its Exciting Moments, But Its Romantic Element Is Not One of Them
For some reason, the filmmakers behind this fictionalized take on the moon landing decided that the romantic-comedy approach is the way to compel its audience. Imagine if Ron Howard and his writers envisioned a take on the Apollo 13 story that needed something extra to rivet its audiences by injecting into its story an amusing… Continue reading Movie Review: FLY ME TO THE MOON Has Its Exciting Moments, But Its Romantic Element Is Not One of Them

As a fan of this movie series, I had a good time with this latest franchise installment. That said, this newest chapter is very predictable about the real villain.
