LOL- I maybe slightly biased, as I too was a Former Motorcycle Flattrack Racer, who had to decide when to retire. But aside from our personal similarities, I really liked Craig T. Nelson's character in this movie. This is one of the BETTER motorcycle movies. But you don't have to be an avid motorcycle/racing fan to enjoy this movie. There is good character development, and the actors really bring out their(and your)emotions during the course of this movie. That being said, women will also be surprised- and probably enjoy this movie. YES...that means some may shed a tear or two during certain scenes, and that what makes this a good movie, as we begin to care and feel for the characters. Who would have ever thought- that a movie about an aging motorcycle racer, would turn out to be so good. But it's TRUE ! And it's also a Good movie for the entire family as well. Please give this movie a shot, and watch it. You won't regret it :-)

Let me preface by saying I love Sci-Fi. And I really thought the CGI scenes of this movie were breath taking. I only viewed this movie once, and it was late one night on PBS. And I missed the first few minutes, but I was spell bound, and captivated by the journeys through space and around alien worlds. This movie was pleasant and imaginative. It was NOT deep or intense.... but something I'd like to watch again. Other reviewers were too harsh on this film, and called it dated. I think it was ahead of it's time in thought and execution. It is not a movie of words, but of scenes of imagination. I may never (in real life) travel out into the vast reaches of Space, but after viewing this movie, I feel that at least my mind has been there :-)
