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.

Bureaucracy & conspiracy even exist on-the-way to space, that's says it all...

Who thought this would be a great movie. The idea alone is horrible.

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

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.
