The film follows Kelly Jones, a marketing expert tasked with restoring NASA's public image as Apollo 11 steals the spotlight. Her arrival disrupts the work of Cole Davis, the mission director, who is already under tremendous pressure.

When the White House decides the project is too big to fail, Kelly is given a covert side mission: stage a fake moon landing as a backup plan. To the Moon then fuses a romantic comedy with a fictional take on the space race and the political machinations behind the lunar conquest.

Greg Berlanti frames his story in a retro aesthetic, mixing late-1960s set design, period-appropriate music, and a nod to advertising culture. The screening at Ciné Tarmac gives the film a special resonance, shown in a venue that is itself closely tied to the history of aviation and space exploration.

Our take on To The Moon :

The film drops you into a distinctly retro vibe: outrageous hairstyles, neon hues, and vintage cars; you feel the 1970s in the United States, and it works beautifully. Snappy, rhythm-driven music underscores the colorful sets, giving the movie a natural cadence. To the Moon clocks in at 2 hours and 11 minutes, and honestly, it doesn’t feel like a slog.

Even though it threads a love story through its plot, it isn’t easily boxed as a romantic comedy. The romance between Channing Tatum and Scarlett Johansson is easy to predict and never the film’s central engine, which is a good thing. The director chooses to foreground the space race and the famous ultimatum handed down by the White House, as brought to life by the brilliant Woody Harrelson. In fact, the romance between the leads could have been trimmed without losing the essence of the film.

Scarlett Johansson nails the marketing maven persona—confident, a tad exasperating, always getting what she wants. There’s a subtle feminist undercurrent in her self-assurance that makes the movie enjoyable. As for Channing Tatum, his “good-natured but irked” vibe feels a touch underwhelming; a more energetic, assertive Apollo 11 project director might have injected the role with extra punch. Still, his performance couples well with a witty script that keeps the mood light and fun.

To the Moon is a perfect pick for winding down, sharing a few laughs, and soaking up a bit of history about the space race of the 1960s. Scarlett Johansson and Channing Tatum may not deliver their finest work here, but it’s a pleasure to see them together in a comedy!
