My Personal Favorite

Rating: 10/10 (25 December 2002)

This is probably the most interesting, thought provoking, and thrilling films I have ever seen. The fact that it is all true makes it that much better. I know my infatuation with the space program provides bias for it being my favorite movie and hardly anyone agrees with me that it is the greatest movie ever made. Most hard core movie critics believe that a movie's story line and plot are secondary to it's theme and they point out that Apollo 13 has a weak theme. To me, a movie's greatness is not measured by it's original theme or its outstanding plot or imaginative ending but a combination of all these to create an emotion. I believe Apollo 13 accomplishes this better then any other movie ever made.
