Space Cowboys
This is a sci-fi movie - but it is also thorough Clint Eastwood. A combination that for me can only win. Made well after "Unforgiven," it is a mix of the old and the new Eastwood (as demonstrated in "Unforgiven").
The movie has both charm, some good laughs, lots of cool savvy and a surprise, if not a formula finale. But Eastwood, as is his unerring mature signature, pulls it off in a way that makes it solid drama and credible. The interesting plot, in combination with Industrial Light and Magic effects make this a riveting drama - sucking you in. You are on board and it all happens with you right there.
Another winner from Clint. I can only say if you like thrillers - sci-fi or otherwise, see this movie.
For a thoroughly fine professional critique of this movie go to the review by Bob Graham, Chronicle Senior Writer - Friday, August 4, 2000 in the San Francisco Chronicle. No need to try to repeat what this pro says.*
