Great movie even though we know the ending

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2003)

I was about 8 years old when Apollo 13 happened, so I can't remember not knowing the story. I've read the book 'Lost moon' 2 or 3 times, and seen the film several times too. But I watched it again the other night and once more was completely lost in the tension and drama of the events, portrayed in such a convincing way. How can it still make me so involved and worried even though I know the ending? Terrific movie. Tom Hanks was superb in this as ever. Kevin Bacon is also always convincing and a great character actor.
