May 27, 2012Space Cowboys a good adventure drama film with a great cast. However, considering that this is a Clint Eastwood film, it's also a bit disappointing considering that Eastwood has made far better films in his career. The cast do a good job here, and there's a dose of light hearted ... read more

December 8, 2011not without its cliches and the acting and dialogue were a bit weak, but the story gives the audience so much to root for that the film succeeds almost by sentiment alone. some of the space images were subtle and awe inspiring, and the story flowed well enough to keep the audien... read more

June 3, 2011It kicked off as a totally enjoyable fun ride with a great premise; had it stayed liked that to the end this one could've definitely been topping my favourites list.
Towards the final quarter, with a far-fetched outer space inanity, the plot takes a frustratingly needless twist,... read more -
April 16, 2011Excellent cast. Movie about a group of retired pilots who get another opportunity to go into space. I've been to NASA where some of it is filmed.

January 25, 2010I'm not sure you can go wrong with Clint Eastwood, Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland in a movie. Classy actors. A little hokey in the story, but hey, this many good actors, who cares?

The movie may not pack anything near the emotional punch of Unforgiven, but it's an entertainingly raffish action-comedy nonetheless. Full Review

Peter Rainer, New York Magazine
One of those over-the-hill-gang buddyfests that pretend to be about teamwork and valor but are really about movie-star cronyism. Full Review

Space Cowboys is one of the more gracefully satisfying features of the summer.

Andrew O'Hehir, Salon.com
Space Cowboys plays more like a mixture of Eastwood's leaden Cold War thriller Firefox and the aimless goofballing of Bronco Billy or Honkytonk Man than like his better films. Full Review

Space Cowboys is poorly engineered: lurchingly paced, the dramatic conflicts duct taped together. Full Review
