Don't bother, waste of time read on...

Rating: 1/10 (16 February 2020)

Whilst the necessity for a backstory to allow a character to develop from is crucial, this is overdone, and undermines the main event. Its a solemn film, which drags like the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The Space scenes were cut short and you were left thinking but surely theres more to it than that... One minute they're in space on the moon and suddenly we cut to a presidents speech and then jump to quarantine.
After 53 minutes we'd seen some fighter jet flying which was good, and two funerals. The funerals lasting more than they needed to. At 2hrs we land on the moon and stare around as expected, but the moon is ruined by the interception of a memory from Neils past playing in his head. No jubilation or relief of being on the moon, no showing of the nerve wracking return to the 'ship/rocket' in orbit nor the landing on earth or even the journey back to earth.
Boring. Waste of time. Thank you for building up my hopes and ruining them.How can you make a film about an interesting topic so miserable, slow and lacking?
