In 1969 the US wants a backup plan in case the moon landing fails. Special Agent Kidman (Ron Perlman) with a suitcase full of money is tasked to go to London to convince Stanley Kubrick to make the film. Kidman doesn't like the British and through a series of events, Kubrick is out and Kidman is forced to make a production that had all the worse elements, with the director (Tom Audenaert) having to be told "There are no Jellyfish on the moon." Jonny (Rupert Grint) is a band manager for the "Yellow Blackguards" and is the go between for Kidman and the director ...and the mob is also after him.
What can I say, this is a stoner film. Kidman goes into a berserker mode as music from "Clockwork Orange" play in the background. Perlman, who played "Hellboy" is called an angel. The production has substance abuse written all over it.
Guide: F-bomb, no sex. Topless hippies (no silicon) Drug use. Blood and killing. Heads being blown off.
At one point in the film Rupert claims someone defecated on his Jimi Hendrix record. The label was Atlantic when Hendrix recorded on Reprise. Made the whole thing unbelievable.

Plot summary
What if Apollo 11 never actually made it? What if, in reality, Stanley Kubrick secretly shot the famous images of the moon landing in a studio, working for the US administration? This is the premise of a totally plausible conspiracy theory that takes us to swinging sixties London, where a stubborn CIA agent will never find Kubrick but instead is forced to team up with a lousy manager of a seedy rock band to develop the biggest con of all time, in this riotous, high-tempo action-comedy.

Journey to the ...
Or how about: "you fly high ..." and so forth. Which does not have to be taken literally. But the moon conspiracy gets its own movie. And maybe the movie does have the answer, if the landing was real or not. Whatever you may think about that "story" (if the landing was real or fabricated that is),it does make for an entertaining movie. One were Ron Perlman can show of his comedic muscles.
And he really has fun with this, even when he is playing it straight (no pun intended). The humor may not strike the same way with everyone, as drugs are said to have different effects on different people. And there is lots of both here. There is a lightness to it all (again no pun intended) and it translates to screen. If it translates to you, is up to what you expect and what you like
MOONWALKERS totally ROCKS
What a fun and awesome flick! We were totally immersed-and cracking up almost non-stop-all the way through. I'm a multi-tasker, doing at least 1 or 2 other things while watching any TV (only way I can justify it-ha!),but Moonwalkers commanded my full attention start to finish (and that's a first). I'm on my 6th watch now (my roommate tallies up at close to 50) and it still hasn't gotten old or any less funny. (What?!) Seriously.
Moonwalkers is hilarious. Ron Perlman is the shit (can I say that? ...if not, let's say he's the bomb) and he'll have you doubling over with laughter in seconds. I know, I know, you're thinking Ron Perlman? the heavy? have me doubling over with laughter?? YES! He is so perfect for the role he plays and he plays it to a T, maybe even a Z. I'd go on to say that he steals the show, but, how can I with Rupert Grint and, of course, the hippie chick, and, well, every single cast member was oustandingly amazing and cast perfectly. Ron Perlman is the man and quite frankly, they'll just all blow you away.
Oh, then there's the story itself. It is hands down over the top hilarious while maintaining an incredibly believable as true fact feel. I think it's one of the reasons this movie has so much appeal-it's both unbelievable and yet completely believable at the same time. Is it based on actual events? Every thing that happens is so way out there. On one hand you're thinking it's just a comedic fantasy, things like this don't happen; then on the other hand-if your life's anything like mine, that is-it actually is believable and could be based on true facts. And aren't the funniest tales to tell the ones that are utterly true?!
Bottom line, this flick ROCKS and everyone needs to watch it at least once. Whoever put this together is on it. They've obviously set the bar and set it high for the quality level of what they need to reach to put their stuff out into the world. Which then makes you also realize just how sad and sorry the majority of the rest of what's being put out there is and just how low the bar has become for what's now come to be deemed acceptable by most. Hey, let's get everyone to set the bar at least nearly this high, how 'bout it?
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. I would've given this a 9.5 star rating, but I couldn't find any half-stars.
