Very good!

Rating: 8/10 (14 September 2000)

Definitely a very entertaining movie and I recommend it. Although I'm unfamiliar with the full details of the Apollo 13 facts, the way they presented them in this movie through the various scenes, made it believable and got me emotionally involved with the crew's dilemma.

This movie was filled with Hollywood's superstars and they played their parts well- even the children of Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks). Ron Howard caught the interactions between the performers in the important scenes so you could feel the situations. You get caught up in the efforts the space shuttle crew and Mission Control make to get the Apollo 13 back to earth.
A hearty high five to not only the actors and actresses that portrayed the real-life characters, but a hearty high five to the real spoken and unspoken heros of the Apollo 13 mission as well.
