(Michael W. Fuller, 2009-10-29) Long time fan of the movie, happy to get in DVD to replace my VHS. Factually the movie is fairly accurate. Its a bonus having the real Chuck Yeager appear in a couple of scenes! Effects are great. Always thought the movie dragged a bit about 3/5th in but then pics up again.
(One-Line Film Reviews, 2009-10-02) The Bottom Line: This agonizingly long film which devotes at least an hour of screen time to Sam Shepherd riding his horse, talking to his wife in the sunset, and doing brave deeds merely out of manly duty might better be titled "Chuck Yeager: All-American Hero;" unhappy to merely humanize and reconstruct the heroes of the Space Age, the film decides to invent one and in so doing becomes an overlong mismatch of ideas and scenes that drags mightily and presents 5 dumb moments (e.g. the Aborigines' sparks keep John Glenn aloft! LBJ as a big comical buffoon!) for every good one. 2/4
(Robert Mullins, 2009-09-18) I had not watched this film in quite a few years, it was well worth the purchase of this special edition. Besides enjoying the film again, there are plenty of extras, including interviews with various people associated with the film. While the film itself may not be completely historically accurate, the essence of telling the story of the early days of the space race is there. Some of the techniques used in filming were unprecedented at the time and films like 'Forest Gump' owe a degree of homage to this film. Highly recommended.
(Gary Kitchen, 2009-09-15) Product was shipped/arrived just as expected, in perfect condition. And what a great price for this terrific 2-disc set! Much more everywhere else I saw it. Would definitely recommend to anyone to get it from Amazon!
(Waletti, 2009-08-22) Good movie and could have been a family friendly movie, but there is inappropriate language. We started watching it with our space enthusiatic seven year old....and he pointed out some of the language much to our cringing ears. Be warned...
