Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): When the NASA computers tell Jinx that there is no "Max" in the space program, the display lists real-life astronauts and their status at the time of filming. Mark N. Brown's status is misspelled as "canidate". Seconds later, Virgil "Gus" Grissom's first name is misspelled "Vergil". more

Is this disney? :), 13 April 2002
6/10
Author: Jonathan Fain (faincut@gmail.com) from Tel Aviv, Israel

Feels like a silly disney movie... The movie stinks of americanizm.

Though the effect of floating in space are pretty cool, the movie is bad.

I remember Lea Thompson for her excellecnt part in "Back To The Future", and here she's ok... Maybe your 4 year old kids will like this one..
