a middle film of a great director and a great cast

Rating: 6/10 (8 August 2016)

Apollo 13 is another film that has a partnership Ron Howard and Tom Hanks would work in three films later, Ron Howard makes an interesting direction, he shoots very well the scenes on the ship Apollo 13, Tom Hanks is fine as always, rarely it disappoints in a matter of acting, the cast also includes Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, Ed Harris, Kevin Bacon and etc, the special effects are good, especially for 1995, the script is has many errors, and the film is a bit long, and the pace is not as good, Ron Howard in my opinion piece in the dramatic moments in suspense he hits more in drama he failed captivates me, the soundtrack of James Horner (Braveheart, Titanic) is very good, and I in my opinion Apollo 13 did not deserve nomination Oscar 1995, Seven for example deserved more (more that's just my opinion, Apollo 13 is regular, have a good time, plus the film is longer than it should, the same good cast, the acting they are not so great, and the direction of Ron Howard is only good (which is very little for a director of its level). Note 6.5
