Movie Reviews of Apollo 13 [HD DVD]
Movie Review: First DVD to "rot" I've ever had.
Summary: 1 Stars
I have had this DVD for about a year and it will now not play on any player. Computer, PS3, PS2, XBox. It was originally OK on multiple platforms.
I had heard of "DVD rot", but I never experienced it until this Apollo 13 DVD. It was stored at room temperature and not abused in any way.
FYI.
Summary of Apollo 13 [HD DVD]
Universal Apollo 13 (HD-DVD)Nominated for nine Academy Awards, including Best Picture, "Apollo 13" is now available in incredible High-Definition DVD. Produced by Academy Award winner Brian Grazer and directed by Oscar winner Ron Howard, "Apollo 13" stars Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise and Ed Harris in the inspiring and riveting story of the real-life space flight that gripped a nationand changed the world.
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 Shannon
