Failure is not an option!

Rating: 9/10 (27 April 2013)

This historical recounting of the failed NASA mission that succeeded in so many ways is a magical recreation of space flight into that final frontier. Ron Howard pulls the viewer heartstrings that previously limited his critical success. We're reminded of the lost trait of American ingenuity as inspirationally seen through the determined NASA team where failure was not an option. Just like the mission, this was not about individual performances and energized American pride. The Jim Lovell story comes to life through strong performance and a clear vision that remains as awe inspiring as space travel itself was in its youth. Retake a ride into American determination.
