The '80s Sci-Fi Space Adventure - Spacecamp - That Inspired A Generation Is Completely Forgotten

"There is a sci-fi space adventure from the 1980s that is a must-see but can't currently be streamed anywhere."

So why are you telling about us about it then?

Discuss Spacecamp below - it neatly into the 'kids take over the world' subgenre of '80s films.

Is that so?

aeronmelon,

Yo ho, yo ho, an astronaut’s life for me.

Solar sailing the space waves!

lostinasea,

I’m going to date myself here I think about this movie from time to time. As a kid I really wanted to go to space and this movie showed me it was “possible” and kept me dreaming. The only shame is that it was completely overshadowed by the space shuttle Challenger disaster that occurred around it’s release.

Same. 😶

nxdefiant,

I actually found this over the lockdowns because I did remember it and wanted my kids to see it. What I had forgotten about was the terrible robot mascot thing that they crammed into the beginning and tried to make a part of the movie for no reason.

Because R2-D2 was huge and everyone wanted a robot. Even Rocky got a robot

nxdefiant,

I can’t argue with that logic.

i remember this movie. i saw it in the theater. it was terrible unless you were 8-10 years old.

a tour robot befriends a kid and sends him and his classmates to space in what was supposed to be a mock take off. such a terrible, non-plausible script

BradleyUffner,

Tell us how inaccurate Scooby Doo is next!

on the contrary, scooby was quite accurate. it was never a g-g-g-g-ghost

nxdefiant,

The 80’s I remember definitely kept fueled and primed rockets where children could board them with no one realizing what was going on.
