Fly Me to the Moon

Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars...

Last night I went to the cinema, and I've been going quite often since the beginning of the year, with ups and downs, but I didn't want to miss this film considering my fascination with space that has been with me practically since childhood.
I enter and, despite the heat outside, it's freezing cold in there. I'm already getting annoyed because I just can't stand certain things.
But let's move on with this film.

Beginning, middle, pause, second part, credits, end.
Wow, what a mediocre film I think.
To give you a hint, the film is not about the moon landing, but about the advertising related to it and how this event was turned into a media, not just historical, fact.
But if the story (whether true or fictionalized) - with the infamous fake footage that will become a grail for many conspiracy theorists to come - is intriguing, entertaining, engaging; the same cannot be said for the rest.

An uninteresting film played on the contrast between the two protagonists who, however, don't have much depth, characters placed there without being developed, few hints about their past that should justify their actions in the present, but who fundamentally remain just characters, never becoming people.
And then the hints given half an hour (or more) beforehand, like the cat, the watch, the two meeting first as strangers and then working together, the airplane, wouldn't you take Scarlett Johansson for a ride?... it seems like a film that came straight out of a certain '80s naivety.
Another thing that left me a bit incredulous is the fact that they supposedly have to make this super-secret film, nothing should leak, and yet this hangar is always open, wow, you’re not giving me the idea of something that's super confidential.
I don't know, overall a film that disappointed me. It stands almost solely because of the story it tells, reporting only facts, not feelings.

As if it were a documentary, but worse.
Nothing special in the end, barely 3 stars, only because of my soft spot for space.
