Space Camp

Remember 2013's smash hit Gravity?  Did you know that Gravity is actually a remake of an earlier movie; Space Camp?  Well, except that Space Camp was about teens sent up to space by accident (or was it?) and a cheesy robot, but apart from that they are exactly the same movie!!  OK you got me, there are very little similarities except for the fact that every time humans go to space everything that can go wrong, does go wrong.

 Starring every boy's crush from the 80's Leah Thompson, that guy from the OC and a young Joaquin Phoenix, Space Camp is a fun ride with over the top performances and tense moments.  Here's hoping Gravity doesn't enjoy the same kind of obscurity that Space Camp has.  Oh boy, it's seriously hard to find!
 
Rating: Pretty slow for the first half but things heat up and get pretty intense in the second half.

Naughty bits:  A couple of swear words is about as bad as it gets

Snacks:  Space icecream and spaceman candy

Family In-quotes: "In space, anything is possible"
