Premise
Based on the harrowing flight of Apollo 13.

Who should watch
Those interested in one of the most inspiring parts of American space history.

Thoughts
Overall, this was a very enjoyable film with a sense of authenticity.

The aspect that stands out the most for me was the amazing story. It was a triumphant tale that teaches us that with teamwork we, as humans, can overcome any obstacle.

Obviously, it is easy to ruin a good story. However, it is impossible to ruin it when Ron Howard, Tom Hanks, Gary Sinise, Ed Harris, James Horner, and great special effects are involved.

Even if you are unfamiliar with American space history, I would still recommend this excellent film for its realistic tension and genuine inspiration.

What I would change
Nothing.
