Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Kathleen Quinlan. The fact that if you knew the story of Apollo 13 and what happened, you knew the ending, but this movie kept you on the edge of your seat so much, you forgot what the ending would be. The acting was also excellent. Nervous for the characters even though I knew what would happen. Also sad for the astronauts' families because they were so worried that they would never see them again.
Mild language is the only real problem.
The part about the astronauts possibly not getting home might scare young kids. The pictures of outer space that were used were really amazing. The actors were perfect for the roles they had. If you know, tell us who directed this movie, what other movies they directed, and whether it reminded you of any other movies you have seen. Ron Howard directed.
