Featured review
This movie is one of the few I've seen recently that does not contain needless violence and cruelty. The average Hollywood movie (and others) thrives on negativity added to their good stories and ideas. "Race to space" may contain some stereotypes and predictable scenes, yet it is filled with positive and even loving people and it left me with a positive feeling.
That's quite different from watching a movie in which you have a feeling of misplaced pride because America (or whatever country) has destroyed the evildoers and rescued the world. That's not about real people. This movie is (sorry - not to forget chimps).
Rambo, Terminator, James Bond, Alien and many other movies may be entertaining, they also dull one's feeling for other living beings because too many are killed in it. "Race to space" makes me feel more connected to others. It is a movie that makes people more open, more positive. I hope more films like this one will be produced.
