The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Close shines in drama with strong language, adult themes.

There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Blistering performances.

This film shows the amazing story of Ilan Ramon, his life, his service in the Israeli Defence Forces and in the NASA astronaut program. This film shows how dedication and hard work pay off. It shows the courage of the families of the astronauts before lift off and after the devastating explosion of the shuttle Columbia. The families stuck together and helped each other deal with the tragedy. The families of the Astronauts on board the Columbia are brave people. Ilan Ramon was proud of being an Israeli and a Jew, he takes a special Torah Scroll into space with him. He brings the story of Jewish strength and perseverance to the world. This is film not to be missed!
