Nora K Okay… I came into to this movie with no knowledge of anything at all. I walked out, confused and confuzzled about what I just saw. First of all, the writers did some weird stuff. Starting with the foreshadowing; there is literally so much of it in this movie. And I do applaud the writers for this. It’s just they probably should have focused more on the plot and music more. Speaking of the music… I was not shocked to find that this 2000s movie did not have the best soundtrack in the books, but it also just also didn’t fit the tone of the movie. If you want a “comedy” that makes you question how astronauts actually are and I guess dive deep into characters for one split sec—basically no character development in this entire dang movie— then it is for you. I just felt weird and confused in the worst way. But that’s just my general opinion.

Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review Del A personal fave film as a child and STILL remains to move me deeply. The ending gets me every time. If you enjoy a movie with humor, logic, science and raw emotion, this is it! The good ol' boys retirement is interrupted by the mission they've dreamt of since their 20's. They have the stamina, but will their old bones hold together as well as their space station? Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, James Garner & Donald Sutherland showed up! This film never gets old, unlike the astronauts! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/24 Full Review Alec B A silly geriatric fantasy and while I don't necessarily have a problem with that aspect, the entire movie is so cliched and predictable. It's really just a "getting the band back together" story with space instead of music. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 12/13/23 Full Review C Eastwood, Jones, Garner, and Sutherland pulled this movie off and it was a fun watch, but had it not been an all star cast, this movie was a clunker. I liked the special effects in space. The plot was chaotic with the nuclear war heads apparently left on the moon. The movie ended ubruptly with Jones (Hawkins) body on the moon. This movie was really about Hollywood nostalgia, and in that sense the movie was a success. The run time was a bit long, but a good watch. Cheers. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/26/23 Full Review Audience Member another NASA movie helmed by the multi-talented Clint Eastwood himself next to him are Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, and James Garner along with supporting players such as James Cromwell and Marcia Gay Harden 4 air force pilots always dreamed of going to the moon during the 1960's yet all their dreams were upstaged by NASA sending a chimpanzee instead flash to present day all the pilots are retired; then when a Russian satellite is in desperate need of repairs they are all called upon to carry out the mission a majority of the movie is about the old timers getting back into the game; they have to go through all the training and physical evaluations in order to be cleared for going into orbit of course Corbin (Eastwood) isn't much of a team player and his old commander Gerson keeps impeding his ability to make him worthy of being an astronaut when they actually do get to outer space the movie starts gaining more momentum as well as building suspense to finishing the mission the effects for the zero-gravity, the debris, and the perspective of being out in orbit are really one-of-a-kind these 4 guys are a treat to watch on-screen bouncing off one another and I really did feel their genuine passion for wanting to be astronauts you definitely attach to all of them and understand their angles for handling different skills and maneuvers flying in outer space and I was pretty amazed by the actors they got to play their younger selves, totally convincing the ending is sad but not too overbearing and it provides a solid capper to wrap up everything a few different genres meshed together from thrills of high-tech to buddy comedy to reflecting on seniority makes for such likeable entertainment from Clint Eastwood deserves a spot in the giant collection of space movies for sure Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Read all reviews
