An Animated Movie for Boomers | Apollo 10 ½: A Space Age Childhood Review

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for 1960s nostalgia

I was actually wondering when you were gonna get around to reviewing this movie, personally this film did look interesting from the trailer, but after watching this review, I don’t think this movie is for me, while the movie has some interesting ideas especially with the concept , it just feels like it just tries to focus on the nostalgia aspect of the 60's, while I do think the animation looks very impressive animation and Jack Black is really good in this movie I definitely do think this is easily on of Richard Linklater's weaker movies.

You’re about month late since the film came out, but at least you finally getting your review out. Personally, I like this film more than you do. Although I wouldn’t say it the best animated film I seen as I do think a few others like this year Pixar films are and will do better than this. I do agree that the characters are almost wasted as they don’t serve much to the narrative despite having some unique personalities and I’m not sure I’m not sure I’m in the minority or not, but I thought Jack Black, while great, feel distracting sometimes as they used him to narrate almost everything from between space mission to the 1960s nostalgia trip. Also, I do see your point that you were expecting something else from this film as you’re expecting about a boy going through a coming age arc while going on a moon even I felt something a bit different as I didn’t get that main plot until after spending a huge amount of time of the 1960s nostalgia trip. However, it didn’t bother me as much as you did as I still enjoy it a lot from the animation, acting, visuals, humor, and the direction from Linklater. I overall think that it a sweet film although it is the type of film that is definitely aiming towards older audiences especially for those that grew up in the 1960s. I mean I grew up in the 2000s decade and some of the 2010 decade from childhood to teen hood and I can appreciated different decades that were memorable at the time so I didn’t mind about this. Not one of Richard Linklater’s best work in the veins like School of Rock or Boyhood for example but I would say that it good film overall.

Linklater's signature avant-garde, nonlinear narrative structure can be an acquired taste, I’ll admit. Having seen and very much enjoyed "Boyhood" and his earlier autobiographically introspective works, I'll watch "Apollo 10 1/2" knowing what to expect.

Its weird, Linklater either makes masterpieces or its okay. This is firmly in ehh okay territory.
