The plot: Thirty years ago, Clifford McBride led a voyage into deep space, but the ship and crew were never heard from again. Now his son -- a fearless astronaut -- must embark on a daring mission to Neptune to uncover the truth about his missing father and a mysterious power surge that threatens the stability of the universe.
Brad Pitt does a good job in this film. If you want to watch a sci-fi space movie go watch interstellar, 2001, moon, etc. Ad Astra is decent.

The general outline of the plot, of a 12 year old boy who wished he was older and had that wish granted.
That's about all I could remember of this film: it must have been at least a decade since I last saw it.
So, yes, 12 year old Josh makes a wish on a (scary looking) funfair machine, and wakes up the next morning to find himself aged. With nobody except his best friend believing him, he heads to New York where he gets a low paid data input job while he tries to track down said funfair machine, until a chance encounter leads to him getting a new job testing and okaying with toys. All the while his mum believes he is missing.
Josh then starts to get distracted by his new life and by his colleague Susan, finally deciding he misses his old life and making another (granted) wish once he tracks down the funfair machine.
I feel sorry for Susan at the end.

Having said that, I found the plot was different and interesting, the twists and turns were great and kept me guessing, wrongly most of the time, and the sense of tension was good. The characters were ok but no one really stood out for me and I felt they were a little unforgettable and I found the descriptive writing style became a tad tedious and I admit to skim-reading some parts. This is what let it down for me in the end - I got a little bored but persevered and so pleased I did because the ending was great.
I may not have enjoyed this book quite as much as I would have liked but it certainly will not put me off reading Emma's books in the future.
