spacecamp the movie

Space Camp

This is a great family movie to watch even though I don't have any kids I would let them watch it. I myself seen it when I was younger and really enjoyed it. I glad a lot of the older movies are being released onto dvd.

Film "classic" with typical bad acting.

Space Camp is campy to the max. However, given that the cast, including Kate Capshaw, is typical 80's, it is forgivable. This film is so predictable that it made me laugh out loud; however, the kids love it. It doesn't meet up with today's special effects standards, but the launch sequence is still spectacular. Kate Capshaw's performance is very unconvincing. The kids in the movie do a much better job that she does.

One of my all time favorite movies.

The acting is not great, but if you have kids that are into space I highly recommend this book, their imaginations will go wild.

Over 50 and still love this little flick

Okay, so maybe it's dorky of me, but I really do love this movie. It combines everything I like best in my favorite genres -- fun and funny sci fi; happy ending adventure; heart-warming family entertainment -- with a splash of factual space program documentary. I've seen it about five times! LOL

A Great Family Picture

I remember when this movie came out. I saw two different reviews of this picture. One liked it and gave the reasons why. The other did not, and gave his reasons why. And the reasons were the same!!! What one reviewer liked the other hated!

This is an excellent family picture. It shows how people can step up to meet challenges. Of course, watch this movie with your children. Then, you can use it as a tool to encourage them!

One last note: This movie features one of my favorite actors (Skerritt) and one of my favorite actresses (Capshaw).

Best chill out movie ever

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.

just one warning

Just One Warning: If you plan to go -- or to send one of your children -- to the actual Space Camp, DO NOT see this movie. Otherwise, have fun . . .

A Must For Space Camp Fans

If you love Space Camp, this will bring you back to the old-school space camp days. It is a very unbelievable experience that would never happen, but it is interesting to see the kids pull together to get through their problems.

These kids are going to do what some kids dream of doing in real life.
