"Space Cowboys" touted to be one of the better movies in 2000 did not quite live up to this hype. Just because a movie has four of the finest actors in Hollywood does not necessarily mean you will get good results. Clint Eastwood, James Garner, Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland did their best to save this movie but they failed.
"Space Cowboys" is filled with nothing but 90 min. of dialogue that seemed to make no sense and a story that seemed to be flatter than the ground we walk on.
The second problem I found with this film was there seemed to be zero character development created for the audience to have feelings for. I found this out at the end when I didn't care what would happen to them one way or another.
The plot was so stupid I had to wander if this was the best the writers could come up with and what made four fine actors choose a script that was obviously a joke.
With the talent of Eastwood, Jones, Garner and Sutherland, "Space Cowboys" had the potential of good movie; however, with the lack of direction and plot it was nothing more than a time waster for me. At the end I just didn't care what would happen I wanted to get out of the theater. The worst thing about this experience was that there were no performances that stood out.
There really isn't much more to say other than I expected a lot better from these four actors. My advice is to stay away from this movie as long as you can for your own good.
