I had high hopes for this movie since I first heard about it. With a cast like this, I thought nothing could go wrong. I was mistaken. The characterizations and the acting were terrific, but unfortunately, the plot was given a few too many complications. I would have been happy with a straightforward Daedalous team goes into space. There are plenty of difficulties and dangers to be faced by rookies going into space. They didn't need to add all of the additional complications which, in general, detracted from the film.
All in all, I thought it was a great film until they actually got into space and started running into complications. The interactions between Garner, Sutherland, Eastwood, and Jones were fun to watch and thoroughly enjoyable. The opening of the movie which tells about how the four of them know each other and the scenes showing them preparing for their mission were a treat to watch. I was glad that I saw it but I would have preferred to have seen it as a matinee or even on video.
