Thrilling

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2019)

The best scene in this movie was when one of the guys in the rocket was messing with the buttons and switches trying to fix the problem and when he couldn't he said "Houston, we have a problem." The line is just so catchy and universally everyone knows where it came from. It was smart of the director to use this line in the movie. The plot of the movie was that three guys are launched into outer space on Apollo 13 and something goes wrong when they're up in space. On earth, the people at NASA are trying to figure out how to get them back to earth ground safely with little time and oxygen left for them. Apollo 13 was the first ever rocket launch i remember hearing about in elementary school. I knew it was launched in 1970, but in the years 2007- 2009 I remember being talked to about it. I know there's been tons of other rocket launches, but for some reason, that one seemed to be the only one ever talked about in my atmosphere. I've seen other movies of this genre, and they're all really good movies, they just all have the same plot, more or less, and it makes them predictable. Ron Howard is the name of the director for apollo 13. He's also the director for countless other movies. The only other movies i've watched that've been directed by him are: Jay-Z-made in america, The Dilemma,The grinch, The heart of the sea, Inferno, and a beautiful mind. All of which are great movies. The main actors are Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, and Gary Sinise. All have been great actors in other movies they've appeared in. I personally think Tom Hanks was the best actor of all. I'm not sure that i would have watched this movie outside of school only because i'm more into dramatic, sappy, romance movies. I really enjoyed this movie though, it was thrilling and had you on the edge of your seat waiting to see if they'd make it home or not. I would recommend this to my friends. 10/10 amazing movie.
