Saw it last week on a big THX Cinemark XD screen. I was glad I got it on that big screen. I liked the film, altho I think it could have been a little shorter. I was more interested in the rockets and astronaut stuff than the personal family stuff, but that's just me being ADHD, probably. The main impression I was left with was that those guys obviously had some serious bolas to strap themselves into those antiques. That first trip could have taken an entirely different turn. Little bits like the shitty wiring or other quality control failures drove that point home.

As for that bracelet, I have one just like it. Interesting that they gave those things to babies. They're crimped together with lead, like fishing weights, right where babies need them to be to suck on their wrists. Babies born back then probably lost a lot of IQ with those. I sucked in a minus 20 IQ points myself, no doubt!
