First hour - great. Last hour - dragged on a little.

Rating: 7/10 (6 August 2012)

Apollo 13 is the true story of three astronauts who, while on course for the moon, encounter a problem and the workers at the control center in NASA and the three astronauts must band together, settle their differences, and try and return them to Earth safely.
I don't like Tom Hanks all too well. But I thought he was good in this, even better was his character, and how he played the character. I didn't realize this was based on a true story until I came on this and now that I found out, it somehow seems better.
The acting was good from all involved, although I thought it should have been a lot better considering how big the film was. However, I have no real complaints except that the last hour kind of dragged on. I was getting bored at a few parts in the last hour, although the last 10 minutes or so are quite good. However, the first hour is very good though, although I think they should have spent less time in the space shuttle and more building the characters because you don't get a sense of danger and there comes a point when you don't care whether they make it back alive or not.
A solid 7/10. But it really should have gotten an 8.
