The Right Stuff | Rotten Tomatoes

Ads T Dealing with the development of American space exploration, The Right Stuff is a long movie but commit to it and you will be rewarded with an engaging story with good characters and heart-stopping visual effects. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/13/25 Full Review Gary B The Right Stuff captures the spirit of risk, achievement and heroism like no other movie I can remember. A big part of that is the rousing musical score by Bill Conti, which I wish could be bottled and sold as an energy drink. But it's really the film's offbeatness that sets it apart. There's never been another movie like it. Forty years later, it still seems fresh, like a song no one's been able to copy. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Alec B Lots of people have chronicled great feats of human ingenuity but few (if any) have done so while consistently maintaining a satirical and borderline surreal tone. It's hard to imagine that Kaufman was allowed bizarre flights of fancy (the bumbling government agents played by Jeff Goldblum and Harry Shearer, the press corps played by an improvisational comedy troupe, etc.) in a movie that features Chuck Yeager breaking the sound barrier and John Glenn orbiting the earth. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/14/23 Full Review Kai K This movie showed how American astronauts lived, and it did that well, but it had a lot of unnecessary scenes that did not help develop the plot. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/04/23 Full Review Jerod S The space race and the men who entered it. Looking back into the late 40s-60s, breaking the sound barrier and family relationships. It's a hefty 3 hour film that's still worth it. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 07/31/23 Full Review Liquid A An unbelievably amazing movie. It's just so well done. Everything about it is incredible. The cast, the acting, cinematography, oh man, wow. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/23 Full Review Read all reviews
