So patriotic, but thrilling

Rating: 10/10 (21 September 2001)

Apollo 13 has to be one of my favorite movies. There's never a moment when I lose interest, except maybe for the scene where the Lovells are drunk in their backyard. Other than that, the movie was exceptionally thrilling. And best of all, most of it's true. Good research, fellas.
It makes you feel so good about America too. Hundreds of determined men refused to lose thier comrades in the last frontier, and they brought them home. Meanwhile, the Russians lost quite a few in space.

The soundtrack is excellent, with such patriotic music played at the right times during the movie. I never get bored listening to it. Photography and camera work gets two big thumbs up as well, and to see Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, and Tom Hanks float made the movie much more credible.
I watch this film every six months, and everyone else should see it at least once.
