Loved as a kid but watched recently.and while the first half is funny 80s nostalgia,the 2nd half in space is so boring,not very believable,and ending was very disappointing. So they survive space at least the ending could have had them come out of the shuttle to celebrate,but no it's just a shot of the ship landing. Borring! Lea Thompson and rest of cast are great ,but the ending could have been better!! An inspirational film nonetheless,one that actually inspired people to look into a science career.
