This is without a doubt, one of the best movies i have ever seen in my entire life...I wasnt alive for the actual event so this was a way for me to experiance the event as if i was alive. The extent to which Ron Howard went to make the movie look authentic is unbelievable. controllers from the actually apollo 13 crew were brought to the set and said that they could not tell the difference between the mission controll set and the actual mission controll in houston, TX. Much of the movie was filmed in a zero gravity airplane. this is definately my favorite tom hanks movie. The DVD includes wonderful bonus features including commentary by director ron howard and a second commentary by jim and marylin lovell. it also includes the origional trailer and an hour long behind the scenes featurette. Even though i already knew the outcome of the movie, Ron Howard finds a way of keeeping you on the edge of your seat throughout much of the movie. this is a must for any aviation or space enthusiest.
