Bradley Gibson Film Threat 02/15/2019
My hat is off to VonMinden for creating a film that works so well for so little budget, and for bringing light to part of a 30-year-old story that isn't as well known as the event itself but still just as relevant. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

@Loonsan 09/08/2021 Bureaucracy & conspiracy even exist on-the-way to space, that's says it all... See more 08/06/2019 Who thought this would be a great movie. The idea alone is horrible. See more 07/28/2019 Maybe not the highest production value, but a super interesting perspective and historically accurate. So sad these engineers' concerns and recommendations were ignored when they knew what could (and did) happen See more 03/01/2019 A very interesting perspective on the Challenger explosion. Glad I watched it! See more 02/15/2019 The movie was boring and the storyline was hard to follow. I recommend taking a pass on this one even if you watch it for free. See more 02/08/2019 Bad acting and writing. Very disappointed. See more Read all reviews
