Summary: What's that "B" guy talking about??
Review: Okay, since I was in grade school, we're talking 2nd grade, I loved this movie. I am now 19! It's great, I can't say enough about it! There is comedy in it, good effects and shows people what space travel is like. It made me want to go to space camp! I also agree with that other viewer, Tate is a hottie!

Summary: It Rocks!
Review: Space camp is one of my all time favorite eighties movies! It manages to be entertaining and deal with teen issues without having the classic eighties movie huge party. Tate Donovon is a cutie too!

Summary: SpaceCamp: A Fantastic Adventure!
Review: SpaceCamp, a movie about young adults learning to become astronauts and finally finding their dreams realized due to a test accident. While most would claim this movie to be nothing more than kids fodder, I beg to differ. I saw this movie when I was about 10 years old and for the past 12 years, it has still remained my favorite! It not only gave me a reason to search the starts, it also inspired me to actually go to Space Camp - Twice!

Summary: Fuels a child's dream...
Review: The acting may not be superb and the special effects aren't wondrous...but we must remember that it was a movie from the '80s. What the movie does have is a delightful story and young actors that have now made something for themselves (Lea Thompson and Tate Donovan). I had a Space Camp Weekend ritual when I was younger that culminated in actually attending U.S Space Academy. Today I'm more convinced than ever that I will be an astronaut one day...and the movie kept my dream alive when I was young. I'd recommend it to anyone but especially kids who like to dream.

Summary: Rated "B" for Bland
Review: The special effects are good, the music is skilled (and sparse), and a great amount of nothing happens for a very dull time. There is no tension, drama, or violence. And thus is perfect for a bedtime movie for the kids. They will think they're seeing a action movie and will be sound asleep from boredom before the first hour. It also is useful to deter them from chasing the dream of being an astronaut in the same manner that Captain Planet works to make children hate all enviromental rhetoric. They associate an unpleasent time with NASA and the space program and saves you the difficulty of a child chasing the microscopic job market of NASA. I seriously doubt any child could endure a movie this bland for more than an hour.

Summary: Good Kids Movie
Review: The thing that always trikes me the most about this movie is the number of relatively big movie stars they managed to get into this film.
I mean it's a silly little adventure with a ridiculous plot. Send a bunch of teenagers into space and watch what happens. Well I mean sure, I guess it entertains kids. But it's not anything amazing, really.

Summary: Space Camp Review by Robert Raketty
Review: This is a gripping story about a team of teenagers who come together by a summer term at Space Camp. Their adventure turns dangerous when Jinx, a NASA robot, programs NASA's computers to launch the team into space during a routine engine test. The teenage team, with the help of their trained astronaut instructor, must face the rigger of space in a craft not ready for space travel. In many ways this movie is simular to other 80's films with a rebel, a brain, a princess and a jock, if you know what I mean. (Breakfast Club) However, I would recomened this movie for it's moving portrayal of teenagers in a fight for their survival. This film also includes heart felt dynamic moments and scenes of cinematic drama.

Summary: Bad EVERYTHING!!! -- by FilmBoy
Review: This is one of the WORST movies of all times! EVERYTHING is BAD about it: Bad romance: boy and girl meet, all of a sudden they like each other and kiss even though they don't know each other!
Bad attitudes! Everyone fusses at each other, big kids make fun of little kids. The only good thing is that in the end they learn how to help each other. It begins with kids going to Space Camp. The boy won't go but when he sees a weird girl going he thinks: "Wow! I'd go if she were there." So he goes.
People hand out papers telling which team you are going to be on. The girl gets to go on a different team than him, so he steals someone else's paper.
There's a little boy who has a robot that does what you tell it to. Other kids make fun of him and break the robot. The little kid fixes it.
The next day the team that the boy, the little boy, and the girl are on get to go in a space shuttle.
While they're in the naughty robot makes the shuttle take off. (What I don't undersand is why couldn't the people stop it from taking off?)
Anyways, back on the ship, they float around and fuss at each other.
After quite some time, they try to go back to earth. When they are going into the atmosphere the ship starts afire. Only a good driver can make it through! "Ahhh! I'm so scared," thinks the boy.
What will happen??????
DON'T FIND OUT AND WATCH IT BEACAUSE YOU WON'T LIKE IT, YOU'LL THROW IT IN A GARBAGE CAN AND SEE IT CHRUSHED AT THE GARBAGE DUMP OR THROWN IN A BARGE AND SUNK!!!!

Summary: A definitive 1980s space kid-flick!
Review: This movie was released in the UK in 1987 straight to video, because of the Challenger disaster a year before, and one could say it could even provide younger space buffs an insight into thermal curtain failure. But overall, this is a wonderful family film that all ages can watch, in spite of some swear words. The story - the usual 1980s stereotypical teenagers line up for a team building summer camp at SpaceCamp, unaware that a young kid's obsession with STAR WARS and his friendship with a NASA robot named JINX(for reasons that will become apparent when you watch the movie) will blast the hapless teenagers into orbit when they experience a shuttle engine start up which escalates into an emergency launch. Will they get back in one piece?! You can surely guess the ending, but getting there's the fun part. Lea Thompson... appears, along with a good cast including ALIEN's Tom Skerritt, Kate Capshaw and Kelly Preston. The special effects are good for the time the movie was made, the NASA technicalities and procedures, apart from JINX and the 'engine start'(no way would NASA let such a thing happen, but hey, this is just a movie) scene are as accurate as possible and the characters are your usual 80s - the vain terminal preppie, the girl who wants to be her mentor, the spoilt rich kid sent to Space Camp by his father and a young Marine Corps recruit(!!)!! One not to miss, whatever age you are!
