Review of October Sky

October Sky (1999)
One wouldn't want the movie to end.

Warning: Spoilers
The film has everything a perfect movie should have. The movie has a sort of magnetic feel in it which can pull you right from the first minute till the end. A few scenes are a bit over acted (like the one in which Homer goes to the classroom to prove that his rocket didn't cause the forest fire) but for the rest of movie the acting was PERFECT. Jake's caliber as an actor is proved here, and Chris Cooper was simply superb as his father and a dedicated miner. The rocket sequences are fun to watch and the ending is simply touching. I didn't want the movie to end but once the ending credits came, a tear rolled down my cheek for reasons unknown.

A perfect movie for all those lovers of sensible cinema and all the 'Gyllenhaalics' out there!

Enjoy! 10/10
