    Amazing

    by redyeah

    One of the best casts ever. Hanks, Paxton, Sinise, and Harris are incredible. The others hold up just fine. Real emotion and intense and believeable acting push this film past mediocredity and make it one of the best films of the 90s.

  • Must Go!

    One of the greatest space movies

    This is one of the greatest space movies of all time. Not in a sci fi way, but in a real dramatic kind of way. It's such a good movie, it's a must see.
