    SpaceCamp

    From Soulless Minions of Orthodoxy:

    “SpaceCamp! Every summer, people flock there from across the country for official astronaut training on real NASA equipment…and to fulfill a dream…”

    Dispite its troubled production and release SpaceCamp turned out to be a farily successfull foray into the “disaster film” sub-genre. Although it has the common formulas — ensemble cast, reluctant hero, etc. — it manages to rise above them and engage you emotionally. It’s still a fun movie for the nostalgic and the young. Plus it has a great score by John Williams.
