Review of Moon Man

Moon Man (2022)
8/10
Escapist, joyful, family entertainment of the sort which Hollywood has forgotten how to make.
7 September 2022
Wonderfully enjoyable and suitable for the whole family, Moon Man is what I had hoped for from The Martian: The jokes are better, the science is good (enough), and the main character is far more likeable, with many moments of laughter and genuine emotion.

In a packed house of mostly Chinese viewers, everyone was having such a good time that even after 2 hours, no one budged from their seat when the end credits started appearing. The woman behind me must have said "oh my god!" to the events on screen at least a dozen times. The film is silly and fun in a way that you simply don't see in Hollywood any more.

Also, major props to the CGI and strong direction! There were so many downright beautiful scenes, taking full advantage of the space setting! This is definitely one to catch on the big screen, if at all possible!
