Jumping on the Hanks Bandwaggon

Rating: 5/10 (4 August 2000)

Apollo 13 is not a bad film but it is by no means a classic in the mould of 2001. More a drama set in space than a space drama it ultimately disappoints. Hanks was the flavour of the month in the mid-nineties and seemingly appeared in everything. The film is overlong and the dialogue a little cliched.
