Even though the conspiracy theory that NASA faked the moon landing is deeply and depressingly cynical, there isn’t an ounce of cynicism in Greg Berlanti’s sweet, comical and joyous film. “Fly Me to the Moon” uses great screenwriting and good old-fashioned star power to bring a far-fetched concept back down to Earth.
The film doesn’t offer much wisdom about how we should deal with our growing unreality, but it is a charming diversion. In a way, its very shallowness is the point: Sometimes, the film posits, what we want to see matters more than what we actually do.

In wonderful '60s fashion and hair, Scarlett Johansson is simply fabulous as a marketing expert who's hired to sell NASA's Apollo moon program to the masses. Almost immediately, she butts head with the launch director (Channing Tatum) before the inevitable romance blooms. Their chemistry sparkles and the rest of the cast is filled with enjoyable performances (Jim Rash's director is especially amusing). The writing is sufficiently entertaining and Greg Berlanti's direction keeps things flying. Even the more emotional moments work. This is a big budget Hollywood flick that's checks the boxes for an entertaining romcom with a cool historical backdrop.

Enjoyed the humour and chemistry between Scarlett Johansson & Channing Tatum. Pleasant movie which didn’t overstay its welcome despite the run time.

Fly Me to the Moon, a breezily farcical variation on Apollo 11 history in which the truth prevails, is a time-capsule curiosity—marking a movie landscape that’s slowly fading, alongside our ability to tell fact from fiction in media of all kinds.
Match-making two stars with the natural zing of Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum ought to be a breeze. It’s funny, then, that this 1960s space-race caper specifically fails at being a romcom, because the “rom” keeps dragging us back to Earth.
Someday, someone will pair up Johansson and Tatum in a better movie. In the meantime, watch this one with low expectations, and dream.
Fly Me to the Moon’s foundational silliness could have been compensated for, and maybe even turned into the premise for a lightweight but charming romance, if not for two things: the failure to grapple with the larger historical implications of the fake-moon-landing subplot, and the fatal miscasting of Johansson and Tatum as oil-and-water opposites.
Fly to the Moon is absolutely awful. The only interesting thing about it is how long it takes for a viewer to figure out how bad it really is.
a reasonable movie with merely no surprising plot. Great to be watched through Apple TV but going to cinema is not needed.

Ao lado de desastroso "Space cadet", chegou a vez da Apple lançar um filme sobre espaço desfilando seus modelos... quer dizer, atores... Mas aqui ao menos Scarlett Johansson e Channing Tatum estão realmente com uma química interessante, e memso que seus personagens beirem a caricatura, se saem muito bem. Gosto particularmente da inserção da discussão sobre o episódio de chegarà lua ser fake, pena que os coadjuvantes são bem maniqueístas, o filme todo não convence muito, parece mais algo pastelão mesmo. Ainda assim, sacadas sobre o uso político da corrida espacial e uma leve discussão sobre sonhos e ciência acrescentam bastante ao lugar comum a que o filme se dedicou, próprio apra agradas o grande público. Acheu que as duas horas cansaram um pouco, mas ainda assi um filme digno.

The movie "Fly Me To The Moon" stands out mainly for the captivating performances of the lead pair, Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, who take on the role of guiding the plot, while the narrative suffers from shortcomings in the script by Rose Gilroy and the direction by Greg Berlanti.Berlanti tried to promote the film as a romantic comedy, while Sony chose to present it in the trailers as a conspiracy thriller, resulting in a scattered approach that affects the film's coherence. Although the moments exploring conspiracy theories and the moon landing arouse interest, the pace is often interrupted to force subplots and the romance between the protagonists, damaging the fluidity of the **** film's qualities are mainly attributed to Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum, who elevate the humor and make the production more engaging than it would be without their performances. Despite being an enjoyable comedy, its excessive emphasis on romance, with little hint of the conspiracy theory surrounding the moon landing, 'Fly Me To The Moon' could be much better if it had a concrete definition of what it wanted to be. The movie relies heavily on the ability of its protagonists to attract audiences.

Overstuffed and bland to a fault, the film struggles so mightily to be a crowd pleaser that it squanders most of the charm and authenticity that could have made it something special.
