If you expect a science documetary this movie is not for you . This is an entertaining unrealistic 1990’s space movie with fast action and great special and sound effects , especially if you have a decent sound system .

This is one of those notorious features that is a really bad film with some really good parts. Billy Bob Thornton playing NASA executive director Dan Truman turns in a believably impressive performance and leaves me wanting to see him in more scenes. Unfortunately, the melodramatic, over-the-top love subplot which begins the movie with Willis [Harry S. Stamper] literally taking shots at his daughter’s [Liv Tyler] bed mate [Ben Affleck] establishes the tone for this flick. After this, my expectations were lowered to a more realistic level. Very little of what followed was believable even in a fictionalized, fantasy sort of way. The first-rate special effects were overdone to the point of inducing vertigo in me. I noticed many others in the theater wincing and/or turning away to avoid some of the dizzying special effects scenes in space, which seemed to come far too often and last far too long during the second half of this far too long 150 minute flick.
The premise of this film and the talent on hand made this a potential powerhouse epic. Well, it still did well at the box office but it was neither an epic or powerhouse of a film.
