Orbiter Obvious - 24/2/2007 3:23 PMWent to see it and it was terrible. It's a girly film based on stupidness. Nearly walked out half way through. Boring.Explains why there's more F ratings than any other rating. http://www.boxofficemojo.com/movies/?id=astronautfarmer.htm
wingod - 24/2/2007 10:12 PMI saw the movie tonight with my wife. Lots o improbable stuff (the Atlas flying at 5 feet off the ground and not incenerating the news crews when it passes by) but I really liked the movie for the message that you can do anything that you put your mind to do.

When I saw that part, all I could think of was the part in "Armageddon" where ..."Rockhound: I remember this one! This is one where the coyote sat his ass in a slingshot then strapped himself to an acme rocket. Is that what we're doing here? Truman: [under his breath] Rockhound. Rockhound: No really, cos it didn't... Harry Stamper: [shouting over Rockhound] Hey Rock! Rockhound: ...work out too well for the Coyote, Harry! Truman: We have a lot better rockets than the Coyote. All that they needed to make that scene "perfect" would be to have had some kid driving a Plymouth Road Runner on that road, and just as he blows that famous "beep-beep" horn, Farmer's rocket blows past!

vanilla - 28/2/2007 10:53 PM I've recommended it to my friends because it shows a family:eating dinner togethergoing to churchloving and supporting each other in their dreamsnot having affairs or running aroundkids love and admire their parents

Nailed most of my reason for LOVING it. My family saw it together (me, wife, 5 year old son) and we loved those things about it, and just enjoyed the movie as a movie... we weren't looking for a technical treatise on building and launching a rocket... we just loved seeing the family as a family should be, and the rocket stuff was super fun (and actually pretty spectacular) icing.
My son and I have started building and flying model rockets and learning about space together so when this came out it was a natural "must see"... we even spotted our first rocket in the movie (Estes NSA Starship) which was an AWESOME moment for both of us, but he could barely contain himself pointing at the screen to make sure I saw it too!
Some things should just be enjoyed and not have to be perfect... great movies (and this is a great movie) are far too rare... crap like Ghost Rider has become all too common... there are no perfect movies and I'll take this over 99% of all the other BS Hollywood offers up any day.
