Space Warriors

This movie is the best movie anyone can ever hope to see. It bines together all kinds of genres, Sc-Fi, Adventure, Action, Comedy and more. It allows the audience a experience as if they were there that exact moment.

This film is obviously not for adults who can think. but i am sure that it is good entertainment for children or teens.

the storyline is weak, and there is no way in real life that children will actually take over shuttle's operation. but it is inspiration for children who watch this film, they might be motivated to become an astronaut in the future.

sometimes, due to its childish plot, it is very apparent that those people were acting.

actor thomas kasp is a good discovery, he is way better looking than zac efron, but he may not become famous due to this low rating film.

Overall, I enjoyed watching it. You will, too; as long as you don't take it too seriously.

Why, oh why isn't there a zero on the scoring system? The Room (2003). Tycus (1999). Anything with Adam Sandler in it.

These are all better movies than this piece of crap. Even the suspend-your-belief moments are suspending their beliefs.

Most of the badness comes from the script (third-rate even by Disney-standards), but a lot comes from the super bad acting by Thomas Horn (Jimmy). It's over the top, he's got a squeaky "Gee Whiz" voice, with all the utterly FAKE surprise of that expression. His actions are weird, kind of immoral, and unsympathetic actions (designed to make the character "grow" later on in the story) are totally fake and why oh why would that girl be attracted to him? Oh yeah: his team mates are even LESS attractive. He's girly, and not in a good way. You want to shout "It's getting better" at him all the time, but that would not refer to his acting, only to his conveyed personal life.

This is just bad, very bad.

0/10 The Melancholic Alcoholic.

The acting is some of the worst ever. Its as if there were no auditioning for the child parts. Why in the world would a child actor be given a role and have to create a weird southern accent? Aside from that, the plot was based around totally incompetent adult characters who had no clue what to do with a disabled space station. The main character narrating as if the space camp was in the past for no apparent reason was bizarre. All of this is such a shame because there were some other good actors in the movie. I rented this movie for a family movie night and when kids watching the movie laugh at the cheesy nonsense and mock the terrible acting, it has to be bad.

As my title states - if would have been a great movie for ages 13 and below. That's fine- kids need movies that inspire them to be greater than what they are, that they have the chance to be the heroes of their fantasies.

However, this movie fails in a few major areas. The first is the casting of Thomas Horn as Jimmy. His acting is horribly over the top and he plays that clichéd role of the overly optimistic kid who just ends up being annoying to everyone, including the audience. I almost turned it off because I got tired of his overly squeaky voice.

The Space Camp competition was rushed and unnecessary - they didn't even give us an over view of what the events were going to be. Then we had the obligatory "evil" team (led by the evil blond haired rich white kid, too...not sure if that's a cliché or racist yet) that served no purpose in the end.

The music pandered too much to what the director felt was kid friendly. It could have gone without the pop music and just had a better written score to give it a more epic feel.

On top of that - for a movie that presses the importance of being precise and not cutting corners along with trying to inspire the next generation of engineers and scientists, it takes as much liberty with the laws of physics as Armageddon did. (And that's saying something).

It would have been a great concept, but the movie talked down to its audience way too much. They should have taken a longer look at the original Space Camp movie and gone that route than this Disney's pandering and perception of what the intelligence of children actually is.
