NASA's worst nightmare turned into one of the space agency's most heroic moments in 1970, when the Apollo 13 crew was forced to hobble home in a disabled capsule after an explosion seriously damaged the moon-bound spacecraft. Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton play (respectively) astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise in director Ron Howard's intense, painstakingly authentic docudrama. The Apollo 13 crew and Houston-based mission controllers race against time and heavy odds to return the damaged spacecraft safely to Earth from a distance of 205,500 miles. Using state-of-the-art special effects and ingenious filmmaking techniques, Howard and his stellar cast and crew build nail-biting tension while maintaining close fidelity to the facts. The result is a fitting tribute to the Apollo 13 mission and one of the biggest box-office hits of 1995. --Jeff Shannon

 So what if we already know the ending...? February 6, 2010
Long Ago
Sure, everyone knows that the Apollo 13 crew gets home safely. So it's a testament to how good this movie is that it still enthralls the viewer despite already knowing how the story ends. All the elements of a great story and movie are there - acting, directing, script, drama, suspense, some humor...everything!

Problem I had was I was looking for Blue ray DVD's and was not aware I was being offerred HD instead. Fairly sure I put Jurrasic Park on the wish list in Blue Ray. People usually do not have both players so I am still wondering how I got caught. Perhaps if you start looking at Blue Ray then HD should not be shown to you in case you make the mistake of not noticing you have been offerred something else.
At this point I cannot review the product nor ever will.
excitement at it's best! January 28, 2010
