Astronaut

If you're old, life isn't over. That's the crux of the story. It has a big heart and it eventually wins you over.

Sure it's slow. Yes it's pretty unrealistic. And it can be cheesy at times, but for the most part, it's a touching story of trying to fulfill your dream at any age.

Richard Dreyfuss, as always, is great. His performance holds it all together, though there are some other good performances too.

Leading a fulfilling life is important but it's not all about your dreams. It's those who surround us who make it truly worthwhile. Ultimately, it's about family.

If only for the sake of having one of your biggest and longest dreams of your life come true, Richard Dreyfus made me a believer; and in turning 60 years old soon enough; I only hope this becomes a reality for me some day too. Cheers to all dreamers and astronauts, great 🎥

Truly epic, if it were Opposite Day. And no, that is not an understatement.

Dreyfus plays a lonely widower in poor health who has always wanted to go into space. When a competition is announced he applies, much to the concern of his family.

Slow, sweet, sentimental and extremely unlikely, this is a pleasant enough piece of whimsy about old age not being the end of things, thanks pretty much entirely to the huge screen presence and performance of its star.

This was a very welcome and pleasant surprise

Throwback to the 80s and 90s era of good writing, good characters and great cast, rather than the exec driven crap the dominates cinema today.

A movie about life and respect for the elder, wiser generations, which is all but lost just now.

Lovely family film.
