Apollo 10 1/2

posted by Jason Kottke Mar 08, 2022

From Richard Linklater (Boyhood, A Scanner Darkly) comes a new Netflix movie called Apollo 10 1/2, in which a young boy growing up in Houston, TX in the 60s gets recruited by NASA to land a accidentally-too-small lunar lander on the Moon. It's animated1 and premieres on Netflix on April 1.

  1. The movie is rotoscoped, like Linklater's A Scanner Darkly. I have to say, the rotoscoping effect is not my favorite. Why couldn't this have been live action? I bet it would find more of an audience that way...
