space race

Rating: 10/10 (15 November 2009)

this was for all intensive purposes one of the best space movies ever made.. Tom Hanks, Ed Harris, Joe Spano, Gary Sinise, Kathleen Quinlan, Kevin Bacon, and a host of other top notch actors , and actresses,, the film follows the near fatal mission of Apollo 13, from a couple of months before all the way to splashdown,, the film starts out with clips from the first Apollo mission where the hatch didn't come open and 3 astronauts lost their lives, this is a very harrowing and surrealistic film,, Ron Howard is one of my favorite all time directors,, he seems to get so much more out of his actors and actresses than most directors do,, he also hires the best people to do the cinematography, the music in this film was also very well done,, the shots from the top of saturn rocket were unbelievable,, the shots of the moon and earth were also very good,, overall a very good movie,,
