An interesting background story

Whereas the background story about an ageing astronaut who has found something or someone on the Moon proved sufficiently effective despite not being resolved satisfyingly, the plot around teenage love stories and trite father-son relationships did the film no real favour. On the other hand did the film avoid entering into the domain of hard sci-fi, making it accessible and even enjoyable for a wider audience. Unfortunately, the photography, score and direction were mediocre at best. The acting wasn't really bad but the performances aren't memorable, either. The film is hard to recommend because there's too little science fiction for fans of this genre and unnecessarily much for audiences interested in personal relationships. As a cinematic product, the film is quite negligible.

Dreadful Soapy Coming of Age Film - Beyond the Stars

This is not a science-fiction film, or even a film about astronauts or anything to do with science. It was a hustle by the producer to try and convince people to waste their money on this turkey by giving it a sci-fi spin in marketing. The dreadful reality is that this film is nothing more than dreary soap; a coming of age vehicle for a spoiled Christian Slater who comes from a dysfunctional family with money. As if we care about any of it. There is no story here; and the plot is about as logical as the path of Slater's first rocket attempt early in the film. Don't waste your time or money on this turkey.
