 | In 1986, I was five years old and the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up which was extremely sad. However, Space Camp was a hit and it still is the 21st century. This movie is about a group of teens enrolled at Space Camp and found themselves in orbit. Throughout the film, they encountered a lot of life and death situations which miraculously brought back to Earth safe and sound with team effort with the entire team. Watching this film brings a lot of memories since I'm still a space enthusiast. The DVD makes the film looks even better since the quality of the picture and sound its better. To bad it needs extras like the making of the movie, a music video or a promotion about Space CAmp, but i'm still giving a five star. MAD PROPS!!!! |

| Space Camp is about a group of youngsters attending the summer school of the title. During their time there they learn about becoming astronauts, NASA, the space programme etc. There are the usual teenage conflicts between some members of the group and authority.
When they get the chance to actually sit in a Shuttle whilst tests are made they think that is the ultimate adventure. Unfortunately a robot called JINX who has befriended Max (a very young Joaquin Phoenix), decided to help Max get into space for real and ensures the Shuttle is actually launched. This is where the group realise what adventure really is!
Formulaic movie with no real surprises but still quite a good film to watch, particularly for the youngsters. There are no extras (not even subtitles for the deaf) but it's a low enough price to forgive that.

| I bought a DVD copy of this before Amazon carried it themselves, i had to buy it from a private seller. The Day of the Columbia disaster was very sad for me. for some reason i really wanted to buy this movie because of accident.
This is an excelent story that will really cheer you up. A great pick for kids.
Worth buying! |

| This was one of my favorite movies when I was young. I made my parents rent it so many times...every time I had a friend over. I love the cast, the story, and the soundtrack. I bought the VHS tape off eBay a few years ago and will definitely be purchasing this DVD version. Great movie! |

| And this one time...at Space Camp...I kissed a girl under the SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters)...and I got to go around and re-live different scenes from the movie, especially repeating all of Leaf Phoenix's star wars references during mission simulations..it was too much fun...LOL...but still true... Certainly, there are tons of things wrong about the movie that would never happen at Space Camp or in real life, but that's hollywood and that's what makes it fun. And when this was made, Space Camp itself was a pipe dream for many kids and the lucky few who got to attend as youngsters were treated like Gods, and are still revered today, so this movie was a way for us poor folks to go to camp without forking out the bucks. Therefore to those of us who actually grew up in the 80's and remember seeing this move in the theater and the excitement of a space shuttle launch and still have dreams of being an astronaut, and for those of us who have worked at Space Camp its' definately a priceless jewel in the DVD treasure chest. |
