close, but he uses scrapped rocket parts, not scrapped farm equipment.

and in doing so will make the movie more believable?

;p

I kid, I know it's about human triumph over impossibility. meant to be a touching story instead of sci-fi orgy.

kinda cool movie, but the story was just soooo far fetched

 

[BrokenVisage]

Love Billy Bob, but the movie had "sappy" written all over it so I passed.

It was entertaining, but I doubt I'd watch it again.

Is this worth a rental?

 

[Chaotic42]

I'm curious, what does he use for fuel?

Hello, I need the biggest hunk of beef that you have... No, that's too big.

Yeah, its a ok movie. One scene had me laughing pretty good, however I'm not sure if it was supposed to be a funny movie.

 

[TeeJay1952]

We used to be a "Can Do Anything" nation. AF was a call back to those days.

 

[RossMAN]

I just saw it and I agree it was entertaining. It's definitely worth a rental but nothing more.

IMHO "October Sky" was better.








SPOILER










The first attempt where the rocket went sideways and finding his MIA wedding band in space were very cool.
