this film labour along with some of the most predictable story line and shallow character ever see . the writer obviously buy the playbook how to write a space disaster movie and follow it play by play . in particular and the stereo typical use of astronaut talk to their love one from out space put on a brave show in the face of disaster have be do time and time again . max q appear to have be write in the hope that the producer would throw $ 50 million at the project . but and judging by the latter half of the film which contain numerous lame attempt at special effect and the producer could only muster $ 50 thousand . to learn that the film be nominate for a special visual effect emmy have me absolutely gob smack . i think a handful of high school student with a pas in medium study could have create more believable effect . and the plot hole be too numerous to mention . but i will pick one out a an example . now and i be no nasa expert and but surely it highly implausible that a worker attach to the shuttle simulator would suddenly hold a position of power in the control room when thing start to go pear shape with the program . surely there be someone more experienced at mission control who the program director would call on rather than a twenty nine year old who have not be in the control room before . the only save grace for this film be the work of bill campbell . he manage to make a good attempt at salvage something out of the train wreck that be this script . i give this film negative and with the above average work of bill campbell in the lead role save it from a low mark .
