Watch: The Astronaut Farmer 2006 123movies, Full Movie Online – Texan Charles Farmer left the Air Force as a young man to save the family ranch when his dad died. Like most American ranchers, he owes his bank. Unlike most, he’s an astrophysicist with a rocket in his barn – one he’s built and wants to take into space. It’s his dream. The FBI puts him under surveillance when he tries to buy rocket fuel; the FAA stalls him when he files a flight plan – it’s post-9/11, after all. His wife is angry when she finds out their bank is initiating foreclosure. Charlie fears failure and decides, precipitously, to launch. Are twenty-first century American dreams just a sign of insanity? Are those who believe in dreamers only fools?.

Follow the dream!
When you have had Halle Berry (Monster’s Ball) and been married to Angelina Jolie, one would think there are no more mountains to climb. But, Charles Farmer (Billy Bob Thornton) had a dream to go into space. The fact that life gave him lemons didn’t stop that dream. The fact that the FAA (J.K. Simmons) and the FBI tried to stop him did not stop that dream.

He had a wife (Virginia Madsen) that supported that dream and a family behind him and he realized the dream.

So what if the premise is crazy. Aren’t all big dreams a little crazy. I bet people thought Barack Obama crazy when he set out to achieve his dream. If he has half the determination of Charles Farmer, he may just make it.

For all the dreamers out there, and for me, this is just about the most feel-good movie I have ever seen. And, isn’t that why we watch movies? That and the chance to see Halle Berry and Angelina Jolie naked.

very very traditional
This is a good and appropriate movie for a family with young children, but dreadfully boring for anyone with some intellectual sophistication to see how passé’ the plot and characters are.

The characters are a wishful-thinking bunch. Settled in a down-to-earth ranch out somewhere in Texas, it is a solid marriage where the wife stands by her man, even with all his short-comings. The children are there, and guess what, they are pulled out of public school for a few weeks of “off-school” learning on space aeronautics. They have a dog. They have a gas-guzzling large old pickup truck.

These are the good guys.

The bad guys are employees of the various federal agencies. These are dressed in black, drive black vehicles, and are photographed with the sun in the background so that instead of their faces, we see their shadows. The only good guy in that bunch is an astronaut that hangs around the family holding a bottle of Bud.

Another bad guy is the bank that is foreclosing on the ranch.

Not exactly bad, but not good either, the public school is defined as a place where “what is he going to learn there anyway”. So, not much positive on public schooling here.

So, if you want to drive large gas-guzzling vehicles, do not believe in public schools, dislike federal government employees, pawning your ranch to pursue a quixotic mission like launching yourself into space, and have a solid marriage with lots of kids and a dog and no apparent source of income or steady job or whatever and live in a farm remote from the rest of society, then you will like this movie.

All this with the happy feeling-good Hollywood music in the background.

“October Sky” was much better. At least the characters in that movie knew what they were against, and made a real and credible effort and achieved a well-deserved success. In comparison, this movie here was humorous and laughable.
