Family drama is one of those genres that
are almost but extinct in these modern Hollywood times, since it has been
completely overwhelmed with the heavy drama style of narrating real life
stories. And it wasn't always like that.
Jake Gyllenhaal gets one of his first
major opportunities on the big screen with a every kid's dream of flying to
outer space from a God forsaken small mining town story called „October sky”.
There will be no surprises here, since the script follows all the well known
cornerstones of similar long features, the mistrust and judgement of the boys
fellow citizens, the awe of the authorities when faced upon their achievements
and the dream come true outcome at the end.
„October sky” won't disappoint you, but
it won't enthuse you either.
