Reaction: A nice profit considering the difficult to market premise and the lack of big names. It may not have made Caped Crusader money, but it's still a success in the eyes of the studio.


"The film plays like a heartfelt combination of Inception and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and I mean that in the best possible way." - Ben Mazur, SciFiNow


"To the Moon tells a fascinating journey inside the mind. While it would have been nice to see more of the life of the two leads, the emotional performances from David Harbour and Carrie Coon more than make up for it." - Jason Helm, New York Observer


"While the film tries to tug at the heart-strings, it has the problem of never letting us get to know the protagonists played by Gordon-Levitt and Beetz. We understand they're trying to help people on their way out, but they are not given their own personalities and the film suffers for it." - Henry Stewart, Chicago Sun-Times
