Moon Man

I didn't expect to like this movie, but it was actually very fun to watch.

It felt like it was on the brink of being unfunny, but still remained funny, which is much more than most movies that I've seen this year. This movie also was moving, but it did feel a bit blown out of proportion.

I actually enjoyed all the stuff with Kong, which i expected to be extremely annoying and stupid.

It was just a fun little movie to watch, that may feel extremely long. For some reason, this film felt like it was like 3 hours long, which was fine, since it was an enjoyable experience.

I would give this a 7/10.

This movie is AMAZING! 😃 It's a Chinese production, so yeah, it's a bit "weird," but it's really humorous, sweet, and cute. And yet, it's a nice story, and the physics is not as exaggerated as in American productions (although there are still some nonsenses). It looks pretty good, and overall, you believe in those people and the kangaroo (yeah, the kangaroo is the second main character).

The story makes sense, the main characters have clear motivations, and even during heart-wrenching scenes, there are occasional jokes, but they are not forced like in Marvel productions, where they try to squeeze in a joke every two minutes to meet some quota (or whatever, I have no idea why).

As for the visuals and CGI, it's evident that someone with an eye for detail worked on the overall designs and aesthetics. The sets have a somewhat cartoonish feel, yet they remain believable and actually quite beautiful. They have a classic sci-fi look to them.

Overall, I definitely recommend the film. Overlook the fact that it's in Chinese and turn on the subtitles, it's worth it. 8/10.

The storyline is quite interesting! The movie is filled with happiness and sadness which touches one's heart very much!

The pace is good! Funny things come and go to keep your boredom away! So even though it's a 122 -minute movie, with the random jokes, you jz don't feel that long at all!

I am impressed by the CGI of the China's production team! All things on the moon and space look so real and so good! China's special effects in movies are rather mature now!

The funny parts are simple and natural, while not the Steven Chow's kinds that are over-done or over-acted. As such, I enjoyed it very much!

Even though the Kangaroo may look rather extra and is a nuisance at the beginning, you will get to accept it and value it at last.

I love the sentimental and human-value of this movie! It touches one's heart very much!

I gave 8 out of 10. It's definitely worth your money watching the cinemas! Trust me, you wouldn't enjoy it if you watch from your TV BOX or LAPPY!! You got to watch it in the cinema in order to enjoy it! Go, Go, Go!!

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!

Brilliantly directed, with superb acting, fabulous cinematography and a mostly funny and engaging script.

The CGI is as good as it gets, and makes the allegedly 'real' Moon missions of the 1960's (&later!) look like the shoddy fakes they certainly were.

Parts of this film reminded me of THE QUITE EARTH (1985) Australian sci-fi film.

However- The last 15minutes is very disappointing, it becomes clenchingly predictable and mawkish, and for that reason I would give this an 8 and half out of 10.

In fact the last 15minutes is full of all sorts of problems and makes you look back on the film less endearingly - as a type of glossy 'fake-space' propaganda for NASA/JAXA/ESA etc...

Nothing could go through meteorite fragments without being shredded in the process (like the unbelievable boring junk of the GRAVITY film).

The whole PREMISE of this film is unbelievable, so you can start watching knowing it is a FANTASY, not a realistic portrayal of any space station possibility. The main characters suit would be no use if any micrometeorites or shrapnel hit it, yet we can suspend our disbelief enough to enjoy the tale of his ordeal, and his slapstick relationship with a KANGEROO all as some escapist FUN..... so why ruin the ending with a stereotyped and disappointing 'climax'? Maybe producer pressure? Although I'd imagine they'd push for the opposite conclusion.

Maybe to avoid any 'awkward encounters'; as the main moon man is actually a bit of a 'creepy' obsessive character, cast in the mold of the Jerry lee Lewis/ Norman Wisdom loser/goon/fall guy, which you'd imagine has run its course by now, yet seems more persistent than ever in 'media-land'.
