The Right Stuff
Really Great 17 Points 1983

For me, the next best thing to a war movie, is a movie about astronauts, and “The Right Stuff” did not dissappoint. A 4 hour movie might seem daunting, but it goes by quickly because of the intriguing story, great actors, and constant action and drama — not to mention plentiful humor. This movi…

Apollo 13
Perfect 77 Points 1995

Gripping from start to finish, though the end is never in doubt.

Stands as a testament to American heroism, ingenuity and bravura movie-making.

Tom Hanks – in one of his iconic performances – heads a stellar cast atop their games.

The screenplay introduced not one, but two catchphrases i…

Space Cowboys
Good 83 Points 2000

Unlike its vintage stars, this genial comedy hasn’t aged particularly well. Still its an enjoyable lark of a movie, especially with a quartet of hugely charismatic actors commanding the screen.

The movie plays off two events that were fresh in the public mind when it came out in 2000: "Apollo…

High quality movie actors and an appealing premise make this worth watching as an airplane movie.

Sunshine
Pretty Bad 17 Points 2007

A tedious story that follows a group of young astronauts who try to save us by attempting to re-ignite the dying sun. This movie was a copy-cat collage of all previous science fiction epics — except it did a only an ok job of keeping things interesting and a poor job of exhibiting anything unique.

Europa Report
Great 83 Points 2013

Whoa, we’ve got ourselves a great new SciFi gem, an instaclassic along the lines of Gravity. It’s imperfect sure, but Europa Report’s mashup of that new benchmark’s workaday realism, Prometheus’s something’s-out-there sensationalism an…

Gravity
Perfect 83 Points 2013

Gravity isn’t the point, zero-gravity is. However, its title is the only thing underwhelming about Alfonso Cuarón’s benchmark movie. Everything else in Gravity overwhelms. For instance, the vertical line of a sunrise coming around the massive planet looming below some intrepid astronauts is so …
