A very well done movie and truly should be on the top 250.

Rating: 9/10 (6 February 2002)

This movie from beginning to end was a very well made movie from beginning to end. Yes there was a love story, but this love story actually existed and it didn't interfere with the whole meaning of what actually happened like what Pearl Harbor mistakingly did (though I did like Pearl Harbor. But still this movie's title didn't trick you into really what the movie was about. So really if you think about it, if you want to see a movie that's accurate and well done about the Apollo 13 mission, I suggest seeing Apollo 13. The script was very well written, the acting was incredible, by Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Ed Harris, Gary Sinice, and the woman who portrayed Jim Lovell's wife. The movie was perfectly paced. They give you time to get what they're going to do on the Apollo 13 mission. They tell you everything that was important that was prior to the launch, happy and sad events. Tom Hanks truely desereved to be the winner for 1995's best actor, though I don't know who were the other contenders. But anyways, if you want to see a great historically accurate movie, Apollo 13 is definitely worth seeing, because it is truly about Apollo 13. Apollo 13 deserves a 13 and also deserves to be on the top 250 up in the 8.0 to 8.5. A MUST SEE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
