Watching this movie again really brought back some great childhood memories . I'm 34 now, have not seen it since I was 12-14. I had almost forgotten about this movie, but when I watched it again recently, some scenes literally brought a tear to my eye! That little robot "Jinx"(friends forever!). It was just like revisiting my childhood. It was an absolutely amazing experience for me. I will always cherish this movie for that reason. I can't believe that was Joaquim Phoenix as a kid. I'm addicted to 80's movies now. I can't get enough of them. Thanks a lot Space Camp. Friends forever. Jinx is still the best "80s movie robot" ever. I named my cat Jinx.

Loved as a kid but watched recently.and while the first half is funny 80s nostalgia,the 2nd half in space is so boring,not very believable,and ending was very disappointing. So they survive space at least the ending could have had them come out of the shuttle to celebrate,but no it's just a shot of the ship landing. Borring! Lea Thompson and rest of cast are great ,but the ending could have been better!! An inspirational film nonetheless,one that actually inspired people to look into a science career.
