An amazing story which would be scoffed at if it was fiction!

Rating: 6/10 (1 December 2003)

This is the one in which Tom Hanks didn't get the oscar. It's still a great performance though and is based on the	ill fated Apollo 13 mission. When you watch it you can't help thinking they were lucky to make it back to earth never mind	actually surviving. You also get the feeling that Gene Kranz statement that this was Nasa's finest hour is also true. Obviously	everyone knows how the film ends, but the journey there is pretty extraordinary. The special effects are extremely impressive as was the actors and directors patience because the weightlessness scenes are real.
