Summary: Director Philip Kaufman and a stellar cast -- including Sam Shepard, Scott Glenn and Ed Harris -- chronicle NASA's early transition from breaking the sound barrier in 1947 to the expeditions of the Mercury astronauts in the 1960s. Richly variegated and surprisingly funny, this film adaptation of a novel by Tom Wolfe brilliantly depicts the personal, political and technological achievements it took for America to get ahead in the space race.
Starring: Fred Ward, Ed Harris, Scott Glenn, Dennis Quaid, Lance Henriksen, Jeff Goldblum, Sam Shepard, Barbara Hershey, Donald Moffat, Harry Shearer, O-Lan Jones

"God bless America" blah blah. Russian complex. Waste of time. This movie is art and Rocky IV is not? Get out of here.

I don't have any superlatives for this film, but it gets the job done without any major screwups. For a 193-minute movie, it moves pretty swiftly, although there is certainly some stuff that could have been cut (like, um, the Aborigine nonsense). In fact, all of the Chuck Yeager business arguably could have been a separate film, especially as he's one of the most charismatic characters, but his story does lend something to the overall picture.

Spreads itself far too thin and only scratches the surface of the subject matter. I felt as though every 45 minutes could have been taken and stretched out into its own 3 hour movie, only then could it received the attention it deserved. Not to mention as a whole it all just comes off as cheesy, trying oh so very hard to be extremely dramatic.

Just over three hours long and by the end of it you may even want to see more. I love how the portrayal of these gentlemen stutters between genuine heroism and satirical teasing.

A very long time since I saw this, but I never understood the praise it received: the characters seemed too uninteresting to warrant such attention, the satirical anti-heroic aspects were weak and half-hearted, and the whole thing seemed very laboured if not interminable.

A great story about American exceptionalism, perseverance, and the will to succeed. Most of the characters are fully realized while still holding an air of mystique. I will say the movie dragged a bit for me before the selection process started and then awhile after the Russian was sent into space, but overall, for a 3+ hour movie, it does a good job of keeping the viewer engaged.
