"Right Stuff" for women

Rating: Null/10 (9 July 2003)

That's right, Apollo 13 is merely a "Reader's Digest" version of The Right Stuff. Shorter, lacking the same energy, and relying on style over substance. Tom Hanks and the rest of the cast are better-than-average, but some, particularly Bill Paxton's character, lack decent motivation. It's as though they're UNDERacting the events around them.
Overall, pretty lame that they force us through these events when anyone with a history book can give you the ending. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
