So depressing but it still followed that familiar, family movie theme—follow your dreams and in the end everything will turn out for the best. Ugh.

I ended up watching this on my flight to Denver airport.

I enjoyed the typical theme of the man who goes for his dream no matter how crazy and rejected it is, considering I’m quite the daydreamer.

I give the creators credit that they came up with a very original plot and that the cinematography provided a real vision of stark countryside (you can see why the man wanted to go into space) but their approach to the plot just didn’t sit right with me. It didn’t trick you into suspending disbelief at all.

If their isn’t anything else on TV one night and this happens to be on, it’s worth a look but don’t bother paying for it.

I mean, even if you ignore the fact that the storyline is a complete load of old bollocks, this was still schmaltzy crap. Plus, the son’s name is Shepherd Farmer. WTF? Shite. Miss it.
