This was a pretty enjoyable tale of "The Ripe Stuff," four old geezers going up into space to help save a project they had a hand in years ago. It's pretty long at 130 minutes but the four diverse characters... Full review

This movie turned out to be pretty good, and quite suspensful. The storyline was kind of weak since it is pretty unrealistic, but still, it was a good movie, and a good acting job on all actors parts.... Full review

This film delves into just about every known cliche in the business. But it helps make this movie stand apart from some of Clint's other films. We embrace the characters and for that we are rewarded by traveling the movie spectrum.... Full review

You can have a lot of special effects movies but I still have an old-fashioned theory that the story is king and the relationships are the most important part of that.
Its just kind of spontaneous and helps that camaraderie aspect that works so well in the film.

A terrific script drives these veteran actors to pull out all their techniques and twirl about in a movie that manages to combine self deprecating humour, wily stunts and bravado adventure in a riveting and thoroughly entertaining mix.
Eastwood demonstrates his mastery of film technique as director and star, and shows the young cats a thing or two about getting maximum mileage out of even the odd clich.

Jones, on the other hand, is a good ten to fifteen years younger than his teammates.
