Movie Reviews of Space Camp
Movie Review: Best chill out movie ever
Summary: 5 Stars
I originaly watched this movie with my kids when they were little. It has been my all time favorite ever since. You can sit back, relax, not think and just enjoy the movie - and get some laughs in the meantime.
Summary of Space Camp
SpaceCamp shares a striking similarity to Ron Howard's Apollo 13--it's about NASA trying to bring some people down from outer space, except in this case 13 represents the median age of those in danger. Kate Capshaw plays Andie, who throws off the curve by being on the high end of that age scale. She's always a bridesmaid, but never a bride in the shuttle program, an astronaut doomed to play wet nurse to a gaggle of kids enrolled in NASA's summer program. Of course, out of all these teeming hordes of children (there don't appear to be any particular qualifying standards to attend the camp), the film focuses on five. Kathryn (Lea Thompson) is a hopeful pilot who wants to be at the controls of the shuttle one day. Tate Donovan plays Kevin, a daft young carouser who is supposed to be so incorrigible he's winning (he's not). Kelly Preston is Tish, a valley girl with a photographic memory, and Larry B. Scott is Rudy. Rudy's there to meet the Hollywood quota for capsule diversification, but neither he nor Trish does much. Most oddly, Joaquin Phoenix is Max, the young Star Wars nut whose brain and fast friendship with a NASA robot get them all sent into orbit. It's unfortunate that a lot of topical swear words are peppered throughout SpaceCamp, as it could operate as a diverting night's watch for the young astro-nut in your house. Director Harry Winer, who rose from television and sank back to television after this film stiffed over the summer of 1986, directs in 20-minute blocks like he's pacing himself for a commercial break. Once the embarrassing, extremely '80s, opening 40 minutes are dispensed with, however, and the crew accidentally gets blasted into space, the effort to return home is involving, even if it is pretty silly. SpaceCamp won't win any merit badges for script writing, acting, or direction but it's got the right li'l Camp NASA spirit. --Keith SimantonZero gravity meets zero fear in this cosmic comedy adventure about a summer camp where regular kids check in and real astronauts check out! Starring Kate Capshaw Lea Thompson Kelly Preston Larry B. Scott Leaf Phoenix and Tate Donovan SpaceCamp is a wild and wonderful thrill-ride packed with special effects spectacular moments (Film Journal) and a gripping climax (Time Out) that s out of this world!For five typical teens NASA s space camp promises to be a fun way to blow off the summer. But when a space shuttle exercise misfires they find themselves launched into orbit facing the adventure of a lifetime. Now the only way back to Earth is to take command of the ship and control of their destinies before time and oxygen run out!System Requirements: Running Time 107 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: PG UPC: 027616902931 Manufacturer No: 1006070
