A Masterstroke!

Rating: 10/10 (24 August 2010)

Ron Howard's 1995 cult-classic, 'Apollo 13' is a film that dramatizes the lunar mission of the same name in 1970. Howard, is a one heck of a filmmaker! He doesn't let you down, his command over his thoughts are untraceable.
'Apollo 13' is one of The Greatest True Stories, which translates into becoming one of The Greatest Films! You're gripped, dazzled and in awe of the film from start to end. It's one brave story, and bravo to these Heroes! Such stories are worth talking forever, and so are, such films!
Ron Howard rules. He is amongst THE legendary personalities in filmdom today. William Broyles, Jr. & Al Reinert's adapted screenplay is simply awesome! Daniel P. Hanley & Mike Hill's editing is lovely. Music by James Horner, like always, is perfect.
Performance wise, Ed Harris is spectacular in a supporting role. Some actors are blessed, and Harris is amongst those rare people. Tom Hanks is superb. Kevin Bacon is excellent, one of his neatest performances to date! Bill Paxton sinks his teeth into the part. Gary Sinise is hugely effective. Kathleen Quinlan is a complete natural. Jean Speegle Howard stands out in a cameo.
On the whole, This is a LEGENDARY Film! Do yourself a favor by watching this Masterstroke! Two Big Thumbs Up!!
