Sinopsis(1)
En 1958, los astronautas Frank Corvin (Clint Eastwood), Hawk Hawkins (Tommy Lee Jones), Jerry O'Neill (Donald Sutherland) y Tank Sullivan (James Garner) se preparan para una misión espacial, pero, en el último momento, la NASA decide cambiarlos por un chimpancé. Cuarenta y dos años más tarde, el satélite ruso de comunicaciones Ikon, algo obsoleto ya, amenaza con estrellarse contra la Tierra, ya que se ha salido de su órbita. La NASA, asustada, le pide al ingeniero retirado Frank Corvin que intente arreglar este desastre, ya que él es el único capaz de manejar el antiguo sistema de dirección que tiene el satélite, idéntico al que él mismo diseñó unas décadas antes para el Skylab. Corvin acepta la misión con la condición de que sus tres compañeros le acompañen en su viaje al espacio. Por fin, los cuatro veteranos pilotos estadounidenses verán cumplidos sus sueños de convertirse en verdaderos astronautas. Aunque éste no será tal y como esperaban, ya que se tendrán que enfrentar a problemas y complicaciones que no esperaban encontrarse. (Warner Bros. España)

The first half of the film is amusingly exaggerated and very well coordinated, whilst the second half eats itself and is cheesy and a bit messy. The result is a disparate film that, while not irritating, unfortunately, despite the hopeful start, does not offer any particularly exciting adventure content. Basically action for the elderly.

It was a pleasure to watch the four leading actors enjoying themselves, but much more humorous situations could have been squeezed out of the old guys' participation in the difficult astronaut training, and there was no room for them in the serious second half. The last act looks like a survival drama, but the final shot on the surface of the moon proves that Eastwood didn't take it that seriously.

Clint Eastwood is simply one of the best directors for me, ever to have worked and is also currently active. And so, even this slightly parodying take on Apollo 13 and similar films entertained me. It's not because it outright parodies similar films, but it aims to show that the power of humanity exists at any age. Plus, it's funny. I forgive the unnecessary last scene.

Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones, Donald Sutherland and James Garner prove that they aren’t yet ready for the scrap yard. Great acting performances and perfect humor carry you through the movie without a moment for boredom. Of course, Clint proves that he is still cool and the camera (which he himself was directing) focused on him the most, although I much preferred the character Hawk, played by Tommy Lee Jones.
