I really enjoyed this movie.
I guess alot of people really didn't like it ... critically? That is if I remember correctly anyway ... but I really enjoyed it.
I thought it did a great job of portraying how america had essentially lost interest in the space program, and only a tradgady in motion was able to bring them back. I just loved the movie, have to watch it again ... havent seen it in years.

Fantastically well-told story. Very gripping and suspenseful. Great acting and intriguing story. Never loses momentum or the audience's attention.

Re: Apollo 13 Apollo 13 is an impressive drama, the cast is delicious, the score is great and Howard excels at creating tense scenes. The film does just really well at capturing and shifting between moments from the family at home, at the space station on the ground and in the shuttle in space. It's all made of captivating stuff and this story, which surely I've heard about but didn't read into before, couldn't have been brought to the screen any better.
