  One of My Best Movies of a Lifetime

There was nothing bad about this movie. If you loved "Cider House Rules", "Good Will Hunting", "Shine", "Mr Holland's Opus", you'll like this movie.
You will root for this character.

This is my 7 year old son's favorite movie. It is the true story of man how begins in a small mining town and ends up working for NASA. It is a great, inspiring story.

This is a really nice, family-oriented movie. A bit too much swearing for young children.

This is based on a true story about Homer Hickham and how small towns often work. Reading over some of his literary works, the movie did an excellent job of turning it more into a storyline than an autobiography. The actors they chose fit the bill perfectly. The clips during the credits of the actual people really hit the heart.

As long as young children aren't in the room, it's two thumbs up.

This is a great family movie. The movie has the struggle between father and son. The son following his own dream to make a better life for himself than his father. The movie has drama, sadness, and laughter. Great Watch.

This is a wonderful movie, especially if you want to remember what it was like living in the 50's and 60's. This is also a good movie for children learning about the Space program.

It was a feel good movie with an underdog concept.Very well made, not cheesy, overdone. Dreams can come true for this young man that represents a small town with 3 other classmates. At the end of the movie it shows the fruits of their labor, and you feel like you did not waste your time. It was similar to Kevin Costner field of dreams concept put into turbulent times for the United States.

Review created: 10/27/09

October Sky is an outstanding movie with an excellent cast. Jake G. is fantastic. Laura Dern should have won and Oscar along with Mr. Cooper. Mr. Cooper's (Mr. Hickum) attitude would inspire anyone to succeed at all costs.

I needed this movie for a summer class that I was teaching. If it had not been for the summer class I probably would not have bought it. I am more of a sci fi person. The movie was good though

At this time, I really don't have a review or opinion to write since the DVD is a gift and has not been viewed yet. The product was packaged nicely, it arrived quickly.
