Action Drama History

7.3 / 10

When Challenger disintegrated 73 seconds into its flight on the morning of 28 January 1986, it represented one of the most shocking events in the history of American spaceflight. A Presidential Commission was immediately convened to explore what had gone wrong, but with the vast complexity of the space shuttle and so many vested interests involved in the investigation, discovering the truth presented an almost impossible challenge. A truly independent member of the investigation was Richard Feynman. One of the most accomplished scientists of his generation, he worked on the Manhattan Project building the first atom bomb and won the Nobel Prize for his breakthroughs in quantum physics. Feynman deployed exceptional integrity, charm and relentless scientific logic to investigate the secrets of the Shuttle disaster and in doing so, helped make the US Space Programme safer.

This movie was awful! Not one likable character in the entire movie except for maybe David Cross' character, and they made him the crazy Christian at the end! All the characters were douchebags and assholes who I wanted to see dead 10 minutes into the movie. Avoid! - @Friday, April 4, 2014 1:59 AM

Great little film!!! Had to watch again immediately & laughed just as much the second time ≈ - @Friday, November 29, 2013 8:44 PM

This movie is an excellent glimpse into the world of the uber-self-involved human being. It's funny, written well, and acted. But sickening, because those, what I have come to call, "synthetic human beings", cannot think, see, or even imagine, a life beyond their own selfish, small, world. They are all around us today. Truly developmentally arrested children in 30-something bodies. - @Saturday, October 26, 2013 4:24 PM

This ending .. amazing. By the way, if you're watching this, some douchebag posted spoilers. I reported it as spam but be careful. I just would avoid reading the comments. Except this one. And this one is telling you, "Watch this movie". - @Saturday, October 26, 2013 12:03 AM

Ending was the best part. Loved it. - @Sunday, September 15, 2013 3:40 PM

"As Berger’s final scene in It’s A Disaster builds to a hilarious cliffhanger, it becomes clear that the grand meaning of life–even at the end of it all–still somehow boils down to basing your actions on the actions of others. The traditional disaster film (à la Michael Bay) is turned on its ear by It’s A Disaster, which manages to eloquently and humorously examine people’s neuroses in the face of an apocalypse" - @Wednesday, September 11, 2013 6:04 AM

...radio station had been set up by him, he knew military exercises with helicopter, jets ect We're happening that day, Cut their power, phone off. Idk this is what I was thinking at the end and when they were about to drink I thought a pizza man would knock on the door or somethin and ruin his plan. :) I think that woulda been awesome - @Tuesday, September 10, 2013 8:49 AM

dizzyfro

I don't know if anyone was thinking this, but when I saw him mixing the rat poison into the wine and talking about the rapture, I anticipated a really great ending. Allow me to explain. I thought that David Cross character was going to be a crazy religious guy and was actually tricking them into "drinking the koolaid" and fulfilling his wish. He had set up an elaborate scheme with all the happenings (Friends outside and neighbor either are brainwashed or were told this was a "trick"..... - @Tuesday, September 10, 2013 8:45 AM

I just realized how brilliant the ending was. - @Monday, September 9, 2013 7:45 AM

I just watched this on Netflix...i'm glad I did. always a huge Cross fan, but I was delighted by the rest of the ensemble as well. The direction was well paced and I found each scene to be precisely necessary and not distracting or dragging. It didn't need anything extra, and you don't get anything other than a good dinner movie. I would have liked to see some more drama, but maybe I've been spoiled by recent films and simply forgot my manners. - @Sunday, September 8, 2013 8:01 AM

IRMoonlander

I didn't expect it, but this movie was absolutely genius from beginning to end! I was kind of on the fence with watching it at first, but after all I love David Cross, so I decided to go through with it... boy I didn't regret my descision. This was highly entertaining, tragic, funny, odd... and the ending, wow! I loved it! Do yourself a favour and watch it. - @Monday, August 26, 2013 9:09 PM
