Review of Apollo 13 (1995) by Sukhitha J — 25 Jan 2010
Exciting, nail-biting and emotionally moving dramatization of NASAâ??s finest hour and the most successful failure of all time. The period-recreation and special effects are both stunning, but the viewer will hardly notice them as he is drawn into the story.
That is an example of excellent filmmaking where the special effects are necessary, but they donâ??t carry the film. There seems to be devotion from the entire cast and crew of the film to give this story the telling it deserves and their efforts come through with flying colors.
Unlike The Right Stuff (which at times seemed detached and unemotional), this true space-drama boils over with a definite passion for the material and the message. A moving, inspirational and spectacularly exciting film â?? one of the great accomplishments of American cinema.
