Is it crazy to say that I was more interested in betas little earth plot
I was very disappointed that garret bobby Ferguson didn’t show up to stop Alex from getting the high score

Saw it in theaters for space themed month at my local theater and it’s still just a fun movie made even better with a packed house of people who have seen it before and good beer.
