I purchased this Space Cowboys film because I’m a huge fan of Clint Eastwood. Through the years he has given me really great entertainment. Without his tongue in cheek attitude toward most of the hard stuff in life I would have been armed with much less to deal with life on life’s terms throughout the years. The film itself was good; I wasn’t disappointed I purchased it. (I know the price was right) He paints an interesting feeling. We come into the film knowing someone in charge of corporate leadership has screwed something up big time. As usual Clint must step in & be the hero. The remainder of the film is spent getting old Air Force buddies together to correct something that was screwed up by what I see as; “typical management, corporate, & government greed.” It’s always nice to know that regular guys can get together & fix what years of organization & misguided leadership has screwed up. In a world of organizational chaos; a world where the human element seems to be pushed aside every day; we all need to feel as though maybe this old world still can be run, & kept together by regular honest people that have no agenda other than making a living.Read full review
This was a great movie with a good story, and I really enjoyed it! The picture definition and special effects were also very nice, and crisp for a DVD. It looked great on my 55" TV and the only thing I wish now, is that I would have purchased it in Blu-ray, because it would have been that much better! If you like science fiction/action movies and haven't seen this one yet, then check it out, I think you'll be glad you did.

The characters are very engaging as is the movie. Though there is a bit of comic relief throughout the movie, however, the drama is most prevalent. Based on science fiction, an antiquated satellite is failing and needs to be repaired before it crashes to earth. Beings as this satellite is antiquated, only the "retired" men know what to do. These retired men have a history together. Some of it good and some of the history is bad, which only adds to the drama. Tension is always on the rise. This movie is well worth watching, especially with these lead characters.

Entertaining film about four ageing ex-astronauts who missed their opportunity to fly years ago because of politics. Now, all of a sudden their services are needed because of an old Soviet era satellite is falling out of orbit. It seems that the control system installed in that satellite was U.S. technology stolen by spies years ago. This technology was written and developed by one of the astronauts (Clint Eastwood), and this stuff is so antiquated that nobody else knows it, and there isn't time to train anybody else. He agrees to help, but only if all of his former team can go too. By blackmailing the head of the program all of a sudden, not just Eastwood, but, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland, and James Garner are all undergoing astronaut evaluation and training. . . again! This is a fun movie, but a totally unrealistic storyline. Yeh, I understand, a second chance for the old guys. . . Right! Well, they go up and find out that the so-called communication satellite is a space-launch platform for a dozen or so nuclear weapons, and unless they can jettison it into deep space, it is going to launch it's weapons on programmed U.S. targets. They save the day with BS actions and at one point a cheap kitchen timer that is supposed to be some super hand held computer. All pretty unlikely, but entertaining. This movie's best attributes is that it is loaded up with "Has-Been" actors who are still talented, and have easily recognizable names.Read full review
