298. Moonbound; movie review.
MOONBOUND
Cert PG
85 mins
BBFC advice: Contains infrequent mild bad language, discrimination
I studied German as part of my degree but I have to confess that its hugely popular children's book Little Peter's Journey To The Moon had passed me by.
However, because it left a gap in my knowledge I thought I had better read up on it.
Ironically, I then learned that the text is merely a guide for Ali Samadi Ahadi whose film meanders in its own direction.
Its Pete (Aleks Lee) whose little sister, Anne (Lilian Gartner ) has no tact buttons , annoys him consistently but loves him unconditionally.
Anyway, she wanders off in the night and comes across an inconsolable beetle whose wife was kidnapped many years previously and taken to the moon.
Thus, by some unfathomable magic she finds herself being shot into space and also being kidnapped.
Her brother wakes to find her missing and ends up in a space search for her, lining up with many surreal allies and facing weird and wonderful enemies along the way.
Moonbound is aimed at four-to-seven-year-olds and they probably won't be too worried that its plot is, frankly, all over the place.
Indeed, there are heroes and villains, a few monsters and enough to stimulate young imaginations.
Oh, and there is a rather nice reminder that relationships are worth preserving with even the most irritating younger sibling.
