Apollo 10½

Young Stanley (Milo Coy/Jack Black) is chosen to do a dry run for Apollo 11 when a slight miscalculation means the capsule is too small for adult Astronauts. He is put through a secret accelerated training programme under the cover of going to Summer Camp.

The mission is unofficially called Apollo 10½.

This is a rambling nostalgic shaggy dog story told by a self-confessed "fantabulist" who grew up in Houston in the shadow of NASA in the 60s.

It's a mix of animation and live action rotoscoped to be indistinguishable from the former with iconic footage used liberally but in this new format there's a freshness to it.

Much of it is just a suburban reminiscence on childhood while the 60s plays out on TV and in family trips out.

I'm not sure how to categorise this really it's like a big gentle lazy afternoon of a movie.

Whimsical and charming 7/10 but if you're expecting something to happen (apart from a moon landing) you'll be disappointed.
