Netflix movie review – in engrossing Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood, Richard Linklater blends nostalgia with fantasy for an animated adventure

  • Combining nostalgia and whimsical fantasy, Linklater’s Netflix film centred in America’s space race era as one boy boldly goes where no kid has gone before
  • Animated using the Rotoscope method that Linklater has used before, Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood is a visual treat, capturing the time with real texture
