Praise again for Ron Howard

Rating: 8/10 (28 February 2019)

If they're smart enough to put you in space, they're smart enough to bring you back home...with or without the module. Apollo 11 was the first to land on the moon, and Apollo 12 second, respectively. Apollo 13 would have been the third, however, a change in plans after an explosion, leaves the NASA team putting their brains together to bring these men back home. It will require the team to follow commands carefully, as there is no wiggle room for error here. Their resources, including water, are very limited. Sacrifices have to be made, but they are made. They have one shot at glory, and glory is the mission now. Ron Howard has once again helmed a great film, and although difficult to watch this team struggle in peril, the feeling is REAL for any viewer who can understand the fear that they all had that they were not going to be able to come back to Earth. Stunning performances by Hanks and many more, Apollo 13 may not delight you, but it will leave you with a happy ending.
