The Astronaut Farmer

Horrible, horrible, horrible… I don’t know what to say really. I am Lost for words... I wanted to do something different and wanted to watch “The Astronaut Farmer” without finding some information and comments written for it. I should have done it but it is too late now that I have watched the movie. But at least you have a chance to hear what I am going to say before you decide to watch it with your very own eyes ... you are saved... saving one person is enough for me really

One of the worst movies I have ever watched which is trying to say the cliché “keep dreaming”. Is this a comedy or something else? I couldn’t figure it out. If it was supposed to be a comedy I didn’t laughed at all, not a single smile. It is definitely not a sci-fi neither a drama. It’s impossible to categorize “The Astronaut Farmer” so I want to keep this review as short as possible. Don’t want to talk about my horrible choice... I don’t know why Billy Bob Thornton decided to play the main character Charles Farmer. Such a good actor filming something so disgusting... Bruce Willis does a cameo. What are you doing there Bruce? Get out of there!!!

The story line is this. A NASA astronaut (Thornton) forced to retire years earlier so he could save his family farm. But he has never give up his dream of space travel. He starts to build his own rocket in his back yard. The government's not happy with his dreams of becoming an astronaut when he tries to purchase rocket fuel. There is no rule to stop him; all they can do is to postpone what he can do with his rocket. Everybody in the village thinks he is crazy somehow. I thought the same thing actually. His first launch ends up in hospital. But for the second time he does it. He actually goes to space with his rocket. That’s it from me. Don’t bother to purchase or rent “The Astronaut Farmer”. Bad choice...
