Based on the true story of a mission to the moon that turns into a survival. Then the mission of the three men on boards struggle to get home.
Apollo 13 is a Sci-Fi epic that is based on a very true story which really brings it home. Another reason that it is so brilliant is the acting and directing superiority form Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon and director Ron Howard adding another stunning film to his list that contains films like A beautiful Mind and The Da Vinci Code. Of them all Hanks is the most remarkable as lead Jim Lovell Apollo 13's captain. Hanks' best part is when he realises that it is him to save he friends and he has to keep going. Apollo 13 also has a great supporting cast with noticeable contributions from Kevin Bacon (Footloose) Gary Sinise (Of Mice and Men) and Ed Harris (The Rock).
This is one of my favourite movies for several reason first because it is a great Sci-Fi film and has stunning visual effects especially for 1995, secondly it is based on a true story which does make it even more intense even though you probably know how it ends. And finely it is a Tom Hanks film giving it that special touch that no one else can bring to a film.
Apollo 13 is a stunning astronaut movie that hold you hanging from your seat, just the film you would want from such a real and shocking story.
Gentleman, its been a pleasure flying with you-92/100
