Today we got a chance to see a sneak preview of "Fly Me To The Moon" in the theater. The movie stars Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum.
As a history and astronomy buff, I was looking forward to seeing it. But, I expected it to be a ho-hum affair. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this movie was fun, energetic, and had a lot of twists and turns. It presented the idea of the "soundstage version" of the moon landing and where it might have come from.
Although it is based on the Apollo 11 mission - and the huge PR campaign for it - the overall plot is fictional. However, the characters are fun, realistic, and believable. And the movie was great. We all loved it - and it is definitely a surprise movie of the summer.
