Wonderful movie for the entire family!
Just saw this movie at the U.S. Space and Rocket Center where a lot of the filming was done. What a GREAT family friendly movie. Okay, the acting is "okay" and a couple pieces of the plot are out of order and yes, it is hard to figure out some people's actual job. With all that aside, it is a GREAT movie. What makes it great?
1. The entire family can enjoy it. No foul language, no mushy love scenes, and there are parts that are exciting and funny enough that even adults will have a good time.
2. The "mean kid" isn't so cruel that you hope he falls dead; yes, he is a jerk - but not too big of a bully.
3. The movie is fun, even though it's for the kids - I never felt like poking my eyes out just to make it stop, which tends to happen with movies just for kids.
4. Finally a movie for average, ordinary kids in the 6 - 12 category. This movie is safer than Space Camp (which has a bit of language), but still has cool up-to-date technology. It's just going to let kid's...
Space Camp Was Better
This was a "spin-off" of the film "Space Camp" - which was well done compared to this one: better drama, goldfish bowl - kids in space by accidental lift-off. Kids don't go into space this time. they just help out the crew to show they "have what it takes" to be "ground control.' Yea, Space Camp was better. It showed total fantasy: kids have what it takes to go into space and return safely as heros! Yay for kids! This film lagged in places. If you can find Space Camp - rent that one instead.
Space geeks will envy the rip-roaring adventures in the movie
Space geeks will envy the rip-roaring adventures in the movie, "Space Warriors." I was pleasantly surprised to see that the plot was simpler than I imagined. Before I watched the movie, the title made me cringe, suggesting that it was about teenagers battling aliens in a cheesy rampage through outer space. Clearly, I was wrong to judge a movie by its poster. "Space Warriors" is a fun and unexpectedly down-to-earth film for all ages.
Jimmy Hawkins (Thomas Horn, "Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close"), the son of a retired NASA astronaut, is a complete astronomy geek. His dream is to go to space, and the opportunity arises in the form of Space Camp, where teams can compete for the chance to go to space. His parents, played by Dermot Mulroney and Mira Sorvino, forbid him to join Space Camp fearing for his safety, but Jimmy joins anyway. At Space Camp he meets the brightest, nerdiest group of astronomy-lovers, called Space Warriors. They have to learn to work together as a team...
