Summary: Space Gramps
Review: "Space Cowboys" is a parable about redemption at the trailing edge of mortality. In their youth, the four central characters (Eastwood, Jones, Garner and Sutherland) almost became the first men in space. Now elderly, they are all facing and defying death, each in his own way: Jones as a stunt flyer, Sutherland test pilots roller coasters, etc. Suddenly, in a twist of fate, they are called to Heaven ... in a space shuttle! And in that wonderful moment the lost opportunities, failures, disappointments and regrets in their past are all washed away. Sounds like a great story full of symbolism and sub-text. But the rich thematic elements are undermined by a weak script, sub-par performances and poor direction. >The action scenes were confusing and left me bewildered about what was happening. A preamble set in the 1950s clumsily uses black and white, lots of shadows and voice overdubbing to portray the protagonists as young men. It was pretty obvious. What we're left with is basically a remake of "Space Camp" with oldsters instead of youngsters. The producers may have thought four big stars is better than two, but the movie still only gets two stars from me.

Summary: The best space effects ever put on film
Review: The story is fun, funny and suprisingly engaging. But the big payoff are the scenes after they get to space. Truly breathtaking.

Summary: Implausible Dreck with a Great Cast
Review: I admit, there's a ton of charm that's inevitable when you put these 4 guys together, and that alone makes the film watchable, but the plot and twists are just insane. Marcia Gay Harden's character falls in love with Tommy Lee Jones out of nowhere (apparently she just digs old guys), and cries uncontrollably when she sees him on The Tonight Show (apparently old guys with Jay Leno make her cry). The ending is unsatisfying. James Garner's character only has throwaway God joke lines, and aside from some fun wiseass comments from Eastwood and Sutherland, it's a waste of everyone's time.

Summary: Yee-haw!
Review: Implausible tale of 4 old coots, former Air Force hotshots, who finally get their chance to go to space because of an errant Russian satellite that's carrying a couple of small nuclear bombs. The satellite's technology is so old that only someone who can remember the Depression would know how to fix the technical glitches. (Which may be plausible, after all -- I know several people who can increase my bandwidth but don't know how to change the oil in their SUV's.) Eastwood as a director is, once again, merely excellent, as typified by his decision to use his cast's dubbed voices with younger actors for a prologue in the late '50's. However, and along those lines, Tommy Lee Jones is miscast: Eastwood, Sutherland, and Garner each have at least 15 years on the guy, and as a result Jones seems jarringly vital. The movie also earns demerits with its silly plot, as well as its grubbing for audience goodwill . . . but that is probably to expected in what is a conventional Hollywood production, and Eastwood probably wisely avoids trying to make this a Great Picture (like his *Unforgiven*, *Perfect World*, or *Bridges of Madison County*). Indeed, Eastwood films this salute to old-age with old-fashioned craftsmanship, meaning: no excessive special effects, no jarring camera-work, no slow-motion, no belaboring of the dramatic moments with endless close-ups, no swelling strings on the soundtrack, etc., etc., etc.

Summary: GREAT CAST!
Review: To start out with, this movie has Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, James Gardner,and Donald Sutherland as leading characters, so its already a hit. This movie deals with the perils of the pilots who flew for the Air Force, during its last days of testing supersonic air planes. Frank Corvin (Clint Eastwood), and his crew were cheated out of flying into space with the newly developed NASA. But 40 years later Corvin and his team are asked to go into space and repair a Russian satellite that has Corvin's satellite technology in it. When they get to the satellite, it turns out that it is actually a nuclear weapons platform built in the Cold War by the Soviets, and if they don't stop it from entering in the Earth's atmosphere, it could launch the nukes! But heroically,Hawk (Tommy Lee Jones) sends the nukes into space, and in the process sacrifices his life. The shuttle makes it back to Earth in a wrecked state, and all turns out good. This movie contains humor mixed with drama and emotion, the special effects are awesome, and the supporting cast did a remarkable job of showing the main characters best points. I would reccomend this to anyone who likes space movies, and Clint Eastwood.

Summary: Space Cowboys
Review: What a hoot! Comedy that's FUNNY! And Tommy Lee Jones is so cute. I forgot what a charmer he is. I'm sure Marcia Hay Garden will be happy to hear everyone thinks she's in her twenties. She and TLJ are close in age. The others have like twenty years on him. Very good, brings you in and pays off.

Summary: Awful with a capital "A"
Review: I could not believe how pitiful this movie was. It was boooooring, predictable and painful to watch. I like James Gardner, Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, and Donald Sutherland and I do not know what possessed them to do this atrocious movie. By watching this movie I wasted 2 hours of my life that I will never recover - please don't do the same.
