A mix of kid-inspired, fever-dream fantasy and half-century-old humdrum reality , the animated, PG-13-rated “Apollo 10 1/2” is a love letter to Space City, space travel and childhood. It’s “Boyhood” with neither the growing up nor the near-three-hour running time. Viewers can thank Linklater for the movie’s deep reservoir of Houston knowledge. The director with a special knack for shaping the contours of adolescence for the big screen lives in Austin but hails from Houston. While Stan may not be Richard’s exact doppelganger — in the film, Stan’s dad worked at NASA while Richard’s father did not — Stan couldn’t exist without Richard. “It’s embarrassingly personal,” Linklater said of the film on stage after the screen.
Beyond that, Linklater said he wanted to create a cinematic shout-out to NASA, “by far my favorite government agency,” he joked at the Paramount. And NASA apparently loves him back.
