Stream October Sky Online.
Movie Title: October Sky October Sky is available for streaming or downloading. |
I’d seen the October Sky DVD at the local video store, but avoided it–I imagine because I didn’t know much about it and because I’d read it was just a “family” movie and figured it wouldn’t be very interesting. Well, I finally rented it, and now I see why so many of the reviewers here have raved about it. I won’t go into the story–others here have. I’ll just say that October Sky is simply a wonderful story, and it’s very well told in this movie–script, direction, and cast are all first rate, the photography is beautiful, and the score evocative. It even captured our thirteen year old son’s attention–not a small feat for a movie with a PG rating. My guess is you’ll be thinking about Coalwood, West Virgina, and its people for a while after seeing this movie. (I should add I ended up buying both the DVD and Rocket Boys (also published as October Sky), the book on which the movie is based. The book is great, too.)
Not everybody will like this film. Three people out of the one hundred and seventy five reviewers here didn’t like it. And fifteen more out of the remaining one hundred and seventy two gave it three or four stars, leaving one hundred and fifty seven who thought this an absolutely great movie against eighteen who didn’t.
So I think I’m safe enough to say you’ll like this movie even if reading about it doesn’t make it sound that exciting. The bottom line is that this movie is so very human. The boys who are obsessed with rockets are normal, every day boys sparked with enthusiasm about what can be done. They are following their own stars, their own sense of what is right for them, against the opposition of those who don’t understand.
And so, there is a story for each and every one here, a very real story about following your own star, not somebody else’s. Yes, it’s a feel good movie, but it achieves this through the power of the true story, not out of viewer manipulation.
Very highly recommended.
