How to watch Moonshot online: stream Cole Sprouse's outer space rom-com
Take a trip to Mars with this rom-com
If you're looking for something cute and wholesome to stream (or you just want something that takes place in outer space), you can watch Moonshot online by logging into HBO Max right now. Featuring an ensemble cast that includes rising stars Cole Sprouse and Lana Condor, the YA sci-fi film just landed on HBO Max today and will only be available through that streaming service for the foreseeable future.
While it may not rank among the best movies on HBO Max, the film nevertheless looks adorable and fun enough to keep you sufficiently entertained on your next movie night. Moonshot takes place in a future where Mars has been terraformed and people travel back and forth between Earth and the Red Planet on a regular basis. A barista named Walt (played by Cole Sprouse) sneaks onto one of these space shuttles and meets up with Sophie (Condor), who is currently en route to visit her long-distance boyfriend who lives and works on Mars. Hilarity, adventure, and of course, romantic tension ensue as the duo embarks on a 35-day voyage through the solar system. Other characters include Leon (played by Zach Braff), a fellow passenger who appears to offer Walt some seriously-needed relationship advice.
Netflix is usually thought to be the best place for watching YA rom-coms, so it's nice to see HBO Max picking up such a promising film. HBO Max has a massive library of TV shows and films, and the streaming service is available in over 60 countries worldwide. Read on to see how you can stream Moonshot now, plus the complete cast and a look at the official trailer.
