Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe
With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Best for space nerds and people who love a story set somewhere strange. Much of it plays out in space, so the scale is part of the thrill. Same wavelength as Mickey 17 or Starship Troopers.
- The mood
- Easygoing.
- The pace
- Moves along nicely, at 1 hr 3 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1953: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.
In the future (1970) the US sends a mission to the moon to investigate the building of a moon base.
