Apollo 13 3

From what I remember about this movie, it was pretty good. It's been a long time since I've seen it, but I do remember it being a pretty good flick.

Apollo 13 3

Competently made, but rather dull. The best performances are by Sinise and some of the bit players on the ground crew.

Apollo 13 4

Possibly Ron Howard's best serious film (I have a soft spot for his comedies and fantasies--Night Shift, Splash and Cocoon, his first three movies that are my favorites of his). The period detail in this movie is wonderful and the story is riveting. Even though we know the outcome, it's classic suspense.

Apollo 13 4

Solid acting, true to the story, and an unoffensive family movie. This is not what I would characterize as a great movie, which I reserve for those movies at the very top of the list for various reasons, but its not too far behind.

Apollo 13 4

Nothing flashy, just a good retelling of a true event in our nation's history. The acting was solid, especially by Ed Harris, and why he wasn't nominated for the Academy Award I'll never know.

Apollo 13 5

Aside from the useless profanity, this Ron Howard-directed classic combines great science, good acting and great special effects with an upbeat ending! Highly recommended!

Apollo 13 4

A very enjoyable film. I thought it dragged on at times, and found myself sometimes staring at the wall while the movie was playing, but all in all, it was entertaining and very informative. The filmmakers did a good job of showcasing the realties of space and the risks that are involved in going there. Great performances as usual by all the actors in this film.

Apollo 13 5

OUTSTANDING !!!! Ron Howard really did his homework on this one. The story is well written and the actual facts are as damn close to the truth as possible in hollywood. The use of actual props and NASA footage made this movie a real look into history. I think the intent was to inform you more than entertain you, and this movie did bolth. To say this movie was boring, three guys floating around in a broken tin can shows the lack of inteligence in that particular viewer. The story of Apollo 13 is true, it happened, it is an important date in areospace history and this movie portraies it well

I'm 35 and was just a small child when this happened. I don't remember it at all. I liked the movie and was happy to learn about those heroes I had never heard of before.

Apollo 13 5

Good film. It is an accurate and legendary recreation of the Apollo 13 incident. I highly reccomend this film. Brilliantly directed by Ron Howard. Tom Hanks has a career performance.

This is one of the best movies of the 90s. It is both entertaining and informative. Tom Hanks is one of my favorite modern day actors and this is one of his best performances.

Apollo 13 5

This movie made my A list when I first saw it. It is one of the best protrayals of actual American history I have ever seen, and it really brings out some of the work necessary to bring about the greatest technological achievement of all time, and the amount of danger in which the astronauts could easily find themselves. When Tom Hanks made his series on the Apollo missions, his Apollo thirteen episode concentrates on aspects separate from those portrayed in this movie, which allows this movie to become a working part of the series. The work of Kevin Bacon and Gary Sinise brings out some of the greatness of this film, while Tom Hanks easily portrays the pain of aborting a lunar landing. If you haven't seen it, you should. Anyone even vaguely interested in space will be impressed.

Apollo 13 1

The fact that Ron Howard directed this may attract viewers, but it will only leave them cuonfused and bored out of their minds. Apollo 13 is the story of 3 astronauts whpo go into outer space, but their spaceship breaks down and leaves them out there, stranded without their families. I was extremly disappointed and you will be too.

Apollo 13 5

The action and suspense had me on the edge of my seat, especially when they got stuck in space. Funny also though because of the captain who was kind of mean in the beginning.

Tom Hanks, Gary Sinease, and Kevin Bacon all portray the astronauts of Apollo 13 remarkably. The musical score is very beautiful. The movie is heartwarming yet suspenseful.
