This is a very cheesy spoof of a spoof. Starflight tries to be the serious version of the movie airplane ('77) and mostly falls short. It's got some good suspense, but the acting falls a little flat. Lee Majors (in the lead role as the pilot of the Starflight looks pretty bored throughout the movie (he probably is just collecting a pay check)). The premise is completely ridiculous. An airplane survives in orbit and survives reentry by using the space shuttle Columbia as a heat shield. Speaking of the space shuttle Columbia, this movie stretches the truth quite a bit. In real life it took about 2 or 3 months for the Columbia to be ready for a 2nd launch. However, in this movie the Columbia completes 3 launches in 1 day. The ending also falls hard as it is the least "dramatic" part of the whole movie.
So, in conclusion probably not worth more than 1 watch on a slow night.
