Movie Reviews of Apollo 13
Movie Review: A Good rendition of a tragedy
Summary: 5 Stars
I just watched this again the other night on HBO. This is one of those movies that they really did a good job with. When I watched this movie, it made me think about a argument I had not too long ago with a fellow worker about the moon landing. I still can't believe that there are people out there that believe we didn't go to the moon, and that it just happened in Hollywood. This movie really does justice to those men who piloted the Apollo 13 Mission. Tom Hanks and crew did a great job tipping their hats to these men. If you like movies that have great story, reality, people coming together is crisis, than you really should give Apollo 13 a look. I am glad I have this on DVD, so I can watch with my kids someday.
Summary of Apollo 13
NASA's worst nightmare turned into one of the space agency's most heroic moments in 1970, when the Apollo 13 crew was forced to hobble home in a disabled capsule after an explosion seriously damaged the moon-bound spacecraft. Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton play (respectively) astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise in director Ron Howard's intense, painstakingly authentic docudrama. The Apollo 13 crew and Houston-based mission controllers race against time and heavy odds to return the damaged spacecraft safely to Earth from a distance of 205,500 miles. Using state-of-the-art special effects and ingenious filmmaking techniques, Howard and his stellar cast and crew build nail-biting tension while maintaining close fidelity to the facts. The result is a fitting tribute to the Apollo 13 mission and one of the biggest box-office hits of 1995. --Jeff ShannonSimilar DVD Movies
