An American classic, gripping from beginning to end.

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2000)

What can I say about an almost perfect Ron Howard movie about the most exciting near tragedy involving men in space? It is just a fine movie through and through. The fact that it is a true story just makes it all the better.
I saw the DVD version, which has several "extras", including their techniques for simulating the rocket launch scenes. Also most instructional was the featurette showing how they used the "vomit comet" (simulates weightlessness) to shoot all the scenes of men floating in the spaceships. Very innovative movie-making.
All in all one of the best movies of all time, deserves to be in the top 100.
