Space Cadet

Uneducated-bartender child turns out to be one of the best prospects on the "AsCans" (astronaut cadet) group ... because she took a chance on herself and life.

Sadly, this feels cheap and uninteresting, with a lot of uninspiring dialogue and forgettable moments. With a throwaway romance with an awkward fellow, expected and forced low-point caused by revelations and truths. Not even the cast is good! Probably due to the overly-quirky characters they were assigned and the awful script. And Emma Roberts, who remains cute and charming, is a terrible fit for this leading role.. The movie does seem to have a core and a message, but it is so tepid, it doesn't really reach the viewer.

All in all, they didn't even try to make this worth anyone's time.. and the more I think about it, the lower the score goes.

This movie was nonsensical but entertaining in a mindless way. At its core, it carries an inspiring message about not giving up on your dreams, no matter how hopeless life may seem, and encourages viewers to dream big.

However, if you take it seriously, you'll find yourself frustrated by the countless unrealistic aspects. For instance, how does a prestigious organization like NASA not require actual certificates or conduct thorough document checks? And how is she flying a jet with zero knowledge or experience?

It's utterly ridiculous, but if you don't overthink it, it's a fun watch that ultimately encourages kids to dream big and pursue their goals.

Honestly, maybe most of us writing the reviews are NOT the target audience and therefore have this view so I am not being too harsh on my ratings.

I'm concerned for whomever wrote this and more so whomever greenlit this movie. I can only believe they were having a medical emergency to allow this movie to happen. It's kind of like a college kid on shrooms wrote it. At one point she wrestles a meteor and imagines it's an alligator.

The whole movie makes no sense, the chemistry between her and the main guy is weird, and the characters aren't even likeable. It was light-hearted which is why I even gave it 3 stars. I like campy movies but this wasn't even in that category. My Wife was mad at me for even putting it on and I must admit - I was ashamed and embarrassed.

Emma Roberts must be desperate for roles. This movie was just horrible. Rex (really?) is a bartender in Florida that applies to NASA, though, without her knowing, her friend makes up a whole bunch of lies for her to get into NASA. Here is the problem with that... does anyone think that NASA doesn't check people out BEFORE inviting them?

The entire movie was unusually cheap. They clearly didn't have NASA's permission so a cheap logo was used. Most of the things that her fellow trainees did looked cheap and like a soundstage and in the end, they wanted me to believe that they would give a plane to someone to fly that they hadn't checked out yet?

It just really had nothing going for it.

Not every movie is destined for an Academy award. Many of those movies, are ones that I have never seen and/or was very disappointed when I did watch one. Sometimes it's fun just to have a movie that makes you smile and laugh and walk away Feeling good. I say, what is wrong with that?

This one did just that for me, and I think anyone that watches it, going into it with the same thought that I had, will enjoy it as well. The cast seem to very well together and yes, it may seem very unlikely that any of this could happen, is that not what movies are, to take us to places of dreams and just make us forget about all of the bad things that might be happening in the world, especially today.
