Very dull space film, 19 March 2001
4/10
Author: John Seal from Oakland CA

One day someone will write a book comparing films of this sort to the artistic accomplishments of 1920s and 1930s Soviet socialist realism. There is minimal character development as the film focuses almost entirely on the technological triumphs of space age America. The fetishistic treatment of the space programme and all its minutiae is dull in the extreme, and the only relief is a stolid performance by the always reliable James Gregory.
