El Desastre del Challenger

This movie should have been better... NO. it needed to be better!! people needed to know this story. but will not at all because of poor job done

With strong acting and direction, this film manages to make talk riveting, à la "The China Syndrome". It's hard to make a movie about an event where everyone knows the outcome, but watching this film I really felt like I was getting a look behind the curtain, as we spend the night before the tragic launch with five of the engineers. It's engrossing, at times harrowing, and ultimately heartbreaking.

There are very few films which have real facts and are based on a real story, this one is... I can't remember when was the first time I heard about "Challenger" disaster in real life, but I am pretty sure it was quite long ago and I am pretty sure that it was never before mentioned in a documentary film, that there was a group of engineers that tried to prevent that launch... Despite the low budget if you enjoy films in any way related to Space Program you'll like this one as much...This film reminds me another one called "Too Big To fail" which tells the story of 2008 financial crash... Overall the main idea behind the film is to show how the whole system of capitalism and bureaucracy works... Instead of doing things even at the highest level properly everything is rushed and the only deciding factor is always money, while every good deed is not left unpunished...

This film has a great topic, but appears to be a low budget film. Some of the acting is horrible.

Really enjoyed this movie-a solid production. I remember that day vividly. Now I have perspective on what the engineers who tried to stop the launch went through. The cast did a great job.
