Brilliantly Executed

Rating: 10/10 (29 March 2014)

Ron Howard's Apollo 13 tells the riveting true story about how the Apollo 13 space mission happened. This movie has an excellent ensemble cast which includes Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise,and the great Ed Harris. Not only the movie was historically accurate but it was a riveting race against time as well. Tom Hanks gives one of the best performances of his career along with the Oscar level work from the cast members who starred alongside Hanks. Tom Hanks plays Jim Lovell perfectly (as what he does with the other characters he plays.). The movie has not only great actors but it also has excellent cinematography, art direction, costume design, and it also has excellent writing. Director Ron Howard can make i history movie look so realistic as he tries to make his actors go in depth with their characters. Composer, conductor James Horner scores his music at just the right moment at the right time. This is a true must see for all movie lovers.
