SpaceCamp (1986)
10/10
I had never seen it until now. A terrific underrated movie

Okay so the critics hated this movie because top gun oooooooo and aaaaaaawed them. The biggest problem with Space Camp is the first act is really weak developing characters. It's kind of a mess of cheesy weirdness but you have to remember the 80s was pretty culturally kooky. I was an 80s dude myself :)

The second act goes full blown top gun emotionally suspenseful PHENOM. The characters become really likeable and the movie transforms into a truly wonderful suspense thriller. John Williams at his normal best with a compelling music score.

I'm glad I stayed around because the payoff is a terrific entry in the science fiction space adventure genre. The movie will make you cheer at the end. Guaranteed.
