Linklater’s highly autobiographical memories of childhood, mixed with dreams of traveling to the Moon. Nineteen-sixties Huston, where one of the most important acts of human kind began, seems like a great place to live. Jabbering, games and dreams of an amazing future. With the war raging on TV as a backdrop. The visual side of this project makes it a great watch where we get to see glimpses of the realities of the age, like the theme parks of the era, but also fragments of 2001: A Space Odyssey and other cult movies. Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Adventure is cutely naive and entertaining, even though it lack catharsis... makes landing look simple. This is mainly a story from an era that offered hope.

Personally, I have not yet encountered a film by Richard Linklater that would be explicitly bad or without an idea. The idea is actually what elevates his films. And this animated piece deserves attention for its idea as well. Just the fact that it is animated speaks for its originality. The animation is also beautiful. Equally amazing, however, is the subject. Richard Linklater autobiographically tells the story of his childhood in late 60s Houston. A story about how his childhood was incredibly influenced by NASA, JFK, and their excitement to reach the Moon. The children of that time had great heroes unlike the children of today, whose heroes are not only beyond taste but also human tolerance. But Richard approached his storytelling nicely, inspired by the Czech series Vyprávěj. He presents one piece of information after another, showing what a beautiful childhood the children of that time in America had. It was truly a joy to watch, and if he had kept it up until the end, I might have even chosen a five-star rating. However, to add something extra to the film, he interwove the story of his alter ego, who embarked on a spaceship to the Moon. That was probably every boy's dream at that time. It then somewhat forcibly intertwines with the storytelling of that era and it doesn't quite fit together for me. The storytelling itself was better, and I wouldn't be surprised if someday it referenced that era like today's films do for memory lane.

For me personally, this is one of the most enjoyable films in recent years, one that works equally well as a commentary on the times and as a dreamy coming of age story. The descriptive exposition, stretched over fifty minutes, doesn't lack for great ideas and creative staging, helping to portray the utopia people lived in at the time around the futuristically oriented NASA, when, to the sounds of Zager and Evans and Canned Heat, they looked up to the distant moon, where, along with Armstrong and others, they could see all those teenage boys. Entertaining, smart and informative – this is how I ideally imagine Netflix's offerings. 90 %

Two separate "projects" forcibly grafted over the knee into one rotoscoped feature film that for this reason is divided into two halves. One is an earnestly deadpan nostalgic-autobiographical account (it's a nonstop monologue) of what it was like growing up in the Houston suburbs near NASA in the late 60s; the times, the family, the neighbors, the products, the TV shows, the food, the music, Vietnam… And for dozens and dozens of minutes during which the plot doesn't move, the themes and characters don't develop, and it's not about anything other than introducing the circumstances. It is the author's podcast essay "à la The Wonder Years" with superfluous, albeit stylish, imagery. But then there's Linklater's boyish alter ego with a vivid imagination who, during the Apollo 11 flight, indulges in a "what if the lunar module had been accidentally designed and manufactured a little smaller, that only I can save NASA from international embarrassment by flying into space to prepare the ground for Apollo 11" fantasy. Each of these parts is good in its own right, but in mood, genre and what it is about, it feels more like two short stories; one "How Life Was" and the other "How Children's Memory (Doesn't) Work". Excellent, but inconsistent.
