Faithful to its true story source material

Rating: 10/10 (27 March 2013)

This movie is one of the best true story movies in that it tires to portray what actually happened on the ill-fated Apollo 13 moon mission. There was a lovely cameo by Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin who were played by actors since the real ones were too old by the time this movie was made. This movie is sad, but had to be so because it was based on a real life tragic event were Apollo 13 was so crippled int he service module that they had to terminate the moon landing and come home alive. A serious lesson from Apollo 13 is that things can go wrong. This was one of the seven best astronomy movies according to Astronomy Magazine. I do like the historical accuracy of this movie.
