An amazing plot with well written characters that tackles space exploration at its finest? Not even close—but what a ridiculously fun movie. RocketMan is pure chaos in the best way, the kind of film that doesn’t care about being smart as long as it’s entertaining.

This movie was on constant rotation in my house growing up (much to my parents annoyance), to the point our VHS copy barely held together. Watching it again as an adult, I expected the humour to fall flat… but somehow it still lands. Maybe not always for the same reasons, but it works.

Harland Williams absolutely carries it as Fred Z. Randall, an eccentric, loud, and completely unqualified “astronaut” who feels like the worst possible person you could send into space. And that’s exactly why it’s funny. He’s annoying, unpredictable, and just self-aware enough to keep you on his side.

It’s dumb, it’s over-the-top, and it leans fully into that screwball energy without apology. Not every joke hits, but enough do that you’re never bored. It’s not trying to be a masterpiece—it’s just trying to make you laugh, and honestly, it still succeeds.

I'm based in QLD, first time battery owner, I don't really want to have to be on my phone constantly monitoring times to sell etc.

Thank you all in advance.
