Critic Reviews of "The Challenger Disaster"
New York TimesNovember 19, 2013That it succeeds as well as it does can be credited largely to William Hurt, who manages to make the physicist Richard P. Feynman interesting all over again.
Hollywood ReporterNovember 18, 2013Credit the Science Channel with figuring out that this story had the kind of smarts and scientific elements at its core to be a great fit and perfect fodder for its foray into scripted material.
Washington PostNovember 18, 2013The film is an appropriately somber and smoothly told account of the Washington politics and cross-agency obfuscation that nearly derailed the commission's investigation into the disaster.
VarietyNovember 18, 2013Ultimately, at a time when the cinematic designation "true story" frequently requires a litany of mealy-mouthed disclaimers, that level of fidelity alone would make Challenger Disaster a trip worth taking.
New York PostNovember 18, 2013It's both a learning experience and an emotional reminder of what can go wrong in that gray area separating man and machine.
New York Daily NewsNovember 18, 2013It's not just a good story, it's a good story well told.
Winnipeg Free PressNovember 25, 2013Most of the credit for The Challenger's success belongs to Hurt, who has made a career of bringing slightly damaged, awkwardly distant but morally grounded characters to life. His portrayal of Feynman hits all the right notes.
Cleveland Plain DealerNovember 18, 2013You don't need to in any way qualify the positive assessment of this film. It's impressive work by any standards.
AARP Movies for GrownupsNovember 18, 2013The solemn inquiry into the cause of a tragic accident is turned into a nifty, shifty whodunit. Or, more precisely, a whatdunit.
Pittsburgh Post-GazetteNovember 17, 2013The Challenge Disaster suffers somewhat from its attempts to create added dramatic intrigue... The film never offers proof either way, and it's an unnecessary embellishment that too strictly conforms to conspiracy archetypes.
NewsdayNovember 18, 2013Hurt is genetically incapable of turning in a substandard performance -- whether in Damages, or name-your-favorite-Hurt-flick, or even in this quiet, intelligent film.
AV ClubNovember 18, 2013Where a more traditional approach could've easily been bogged down by sentiment, The Challenger Disaster's levelheaded tack allows for a specific understanding of the decisions and shortsightedness that caused the catastrophe.
