Last night I went to see Astronaut Farmer. It starred Billy Bob Thornton, an ex-USAF rancher who builds a rocket in his barn with hopes of flying into space.
I have to say, it’s one of the best space movies I’ve ever seen (and coming from a Trekkie, that’s saying something.) I think what made me like it was that, like Star Trek, it was less about space and more about (metaphorically) reaching for the stars.
If you’re at all interested in space movies, or pick-me-up movies, definitely go see this one.
