Might Be A Gaffe

Rating: 10/10 (16 February 2007)

I loved Apollo 13. It was one of the best movies about space travel ever made. It is on Bravo so many times, but I never get tired of watching it. It's one of those rare movies that you know the ending and yet, are still enthralled, enchanted and pulls you in each time. Each viewing is great. I think there's a gaffe at the end of the movie where mission control is awaiting the splash down. I think there is a space shuttle patch on the wall behind them at one angle and if that's the case well... the shuttle was 10 plus years after Apollo 13. But that's minor. Tom Hanks is a perfect choice for Jim Lovell. The mix of real footage and the redone is seamless. It earned the praise. With the Right Stuff, and Apollo 13, the movie Marooned doesn't do much anymore.
