October Sky Reviews
Inspiring great family movie

Amazing Movie
The movie begins with Sputnik and ends the Space Shuttle. The movie tells the story of one family whose youngest son, after seeing Sputnik go across the sky, decided to build rockets. Most of the relationships are not well developed, but the relationship between the father and the youngest son is done well. They may have conflicts, but at the base is love and a growing respect.
The life down in the coal mines was interesting. The hopelessness of a dying town was captivating. How the whole town pitched in and helped these four boys build the rockets and go the the science fair was uplifting. The final scene were Homer was thanking the town showed how many people helped these boys.
The plost was simple, but it was a story told well. It brought in the cold war, the space race, physics, familial conflicts, high school relationships, and teen angst. It was a amazing movie.
The DVD special features included a featured called "Aiming high: The rocket boys." It included interviews with the principal, the four rocket boys and one of the fathers. The feature was good. Another feature named, "Locations" was good too. It covered how the film was made and had interviews with the actors. It was interesting.
