SpaceCamp is the single greatest movie about camps about space!!! Â it’s true
how? why?
cause…
Joaquin Phoenix was Leaf Phoenix and he becames best friends with a robot named Jinx (a cross between R.O.B. and Johnny Five) who fulfills his wishes of going into space by forcing the NASA computers to send him into spaceÂ
 
Lea Thompson was never more adorable (yes, even more so than in Back To The Future and Some Kind of Wonderful)
it was Tate Donovan’s first true movie role and he looked so good in ugly 80s button-down shirts and he’s so cool and he still looks like this today, and he’s still so cool
it proved that Kate Capshaw could actually act and wasn’t juss some dumb chick Steven Spielberg married
Tom Skerritt’s mustache and Terry O’Quinn’s ‘hair’
Kelly Preston’s hair and her My Little Pony eye make-up thing goings on
 
Lamar Latrell is STRAIGHT AND IN SPACE!!!!!!!!!!
the movie was actually kinda thrilling and terrifying, and probably most so cause it was made before the Challenger disaster and was released five months after it.  YIKES!!!
but mainly SpaceCamp is awesome cause it represents perhaps the final time when Americans were excited about space and camp and space camps
and in general, the movie is juss dang fun!
