Space Cowboys – Old Men In Space [Film Review]

Space Cowboys feels like one of those feel-good films that just can’t be made nowadays—at least not going for a mainstream appeal.

It has a few cool scenes, like the camper on the cliff, but overall, I found it to be a cynical movie—that strays from the original’s theme. The book is very similar in this style, too, surprisingly. But since I’m not here to exactly review the film, nor the book, let’s get going.
