Moonwalkers combines comedy and crime in a unique storyline that captures the spirit of conspiracy theories surrounding the Apollo 11 moon landing. With performances by Ron Perlman, Rupert Grint, and Robert Sheehan that balance the comedic and chaotic elements, the film delivers a mix of humor and action. Critics have mixed feelings, appreciating its creative premise but noting the plot’s sometimes erratic pace and reliance on over-the-top scenarios. Despite this, Moonwalkers offers a fun, if not always coherent, ride through a wildly imaginative ‘what if’ scenario, making it a memorable watch for those intrigued by conspiracy theories and 60s culture.
