This was the worst movie i have ever seen. the character were bad actors and even though it was based on a real story it was well just plain bad!!!

October Sky has been one of the top movies that I have ever seen. The acting was fantastic; I felt as though I was watching a scene from someone's life, not actors at work. I wish there were more movies "out there" that affected me so greatly!

The greatest movie I've ever seen. The conflict keeps the story progressing and moves the viewers, inspiring us to press forward with our own struggles in our daily lives. One of the few movies that has ever captivated me and found it hard to realize I was in a theater when credits came up and the lights clicked on.

October Sky was one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. Jake Gyllenhaal is such a cute actor. That movie diserves all the awards their are in the world,because of Jake Gyllenhaal.

October Sky is one of my favorite movies. It's a heart- warming story with cool oldie tunes and cute guys. What more could teenage girl want. It really is a sweet movie.

october sky is by far the best movie of 1999. it has a wonderful story, the acting is superb, the screenplay is written perfect, and the direction is the best of the year. i hope when it comes time for oscar nominations that the academy remembers october sky a truly great movie. a real canidate for best family film of 1999. if you are loking for a wonderful quiet film please go rent october sky one of year's best films.

Awesome... I have seen it 3 times in July -- This is one for my home library!!!

Outstanding entertainment. Excellent plot, great acting, a real family movie

Don't listen to the critics. Go to the just of the movie if you want to find out what it is about, usually about three paragraphs down and then go see it if it looks intresting to you. Make your own decisions and don't base them all on a stupid cridic.

This was a superiorly crafted movie. This is the type of movie that you always here referred to as "I wish they would make more movies like that.". Not only was the story superb, and the performances very good, but the technical aspects of the movie were a joy to watch. If there is ANY movie you go see (including Phantom Menace), SEE THIS MOVIE!!!

I really absolutley loved this movie. I thought it had a great point and had a wonderful story. Especially because it was a true story. I think it should be rated G because there is nothing wrong with it.

GREAT MOVIE. Finding himself and becoming a man of his own was demonstrated by this young wannabe astronaut. The interactions between all relationships in the movie were so normal and came to some healthy conclusion. As a parent I would encourge my kids to see this movie as a good demonstration of normal growing up needs. Also, wouldn't it be nice if all kids had a hope, dream, or desire like this one did. It would keep more kids busy and out of trouble and we might get more dedicated, useful citizens in our future.

I totally enjoyed this movie. It is wonderful entertainment. Although there are several places that sleeze and "real" language (read profanity) could have been added. The producers chose to keep it clean, funny and real. As to the comments about where to find a good critic -- if you are looking for a critic that agrees with you all the time -- good luck. You better start writing. A good critic is one who is honest, consistent and lets us know why they formed an opinion about a flim. Read many reviews and many critics. You will be able learn their tendancies and preferences, then make your own decision.

Bravo!

This is one of the best movies I have seen recently. The story of a small mining town and its humble people and a young man's dream to help America catch up to the Russians in space, is realistic, funny, and touching. The audience didn't stop laughing throughout the showing. But it is more than a humorous movie; it deals with a motivated boy's strained relationship with his hard, depressed father, and the the acting between the two makes it very genuine. The supporting actors are excellent as well, as young Homer Hickham's partners in rocketry. All ages will enjoy this movie and it is suprisingly different from what the trailers make it out to be--a boring movie about small town kids and their capers. See it once and you'll want to see it again.

Not only was this a movie based on real life story, but it was a "good" real life story. 2+ hours of a daydream that I wished wouldn't end. Could have done without the swearing.

Loved the show!!! Why don't we have more of this kind? Nothing sleazy, nothing crazy -- just good entertainment -- and true for the most part.

My answer to the guy who was asking where one goes to get a review in this town is this. Use the web because we do not have a decent critic the people can trust and I doubt he reads these posts (if he can read at all) otherwise he would surely strive to perfect his craft or at least become mediocre at it. I am likewise sure that Deseret news cares very little about the complaints of the people as they seemingly have done nothing to make any changes. Mark, you did however make a good point though probably unintentionally. We need TWO critics to balance each other out and offer a wider variety of opinions rather than the narrow minded and opinionated approach we get now. This would do me little good however as I for one have discontinued my paper service due to this problem among others and only come here to check playing times and never for a review.

Regarding the post below. we did not mean to appear to be bashing the film with the lack of stars as we have yet to see it. Perhaps tonight if we can find a critic we can trust. Where are Siskel & Ebert when we need them?

Being new to town I did not know what to expect theater wise in SLC. I have discovered some great theatres (Villa,Trolley Corners)but I have also found the local film critic(s) to be totally useless and usually at polar odds with myself and it seems many others. Where does one go to get sound critical reviews in this town?
