Well...

While history taught us about the events that took place during the actual Apollo 13 mission, it was nice to have this movie put Visuals to these events. But as such, then this wasn't fully a very necessary movie, except for boosting American ego.
What made "Apollo 13" watchable was the impressive cast list and their individual performances. And I will say that the ensemble of actors and actresses here really was phenomenal.
For a space movie then "Apollo 13" isn't really amongst the most interesting, perhaps because this was science fact and not science fiction. That, at least, was the breaking point for me. Being familiar with the actual story then I found this 1995 movie, well, unnecessary, to be honest.
"Apollo 13" is worth watching for the star quality acting performances, or if you are not already familiar with the actual historical events.
A good enough movie for what it turned out to be; a mediocre visualization of real events.
