Review of Apollo 13 (1995) by Seth Y — 06 Feb 2013
Chalk this up as another masterpiece for Tom Hanks resume. The guy is seriously one of the greatest actors to ever live. "Apollo 13," directed by Ron Howard, is based on the true events of the Apollo 13 lunar mission.
Although anyone familiar with history knows the outcome from the very beginning, this movie still manages to be dramatic and intense, which is always an amazing accomplishment with true stories. Not only is Hanks his usual great self, but he's also accompanied by stellar performances from the entire cast, which includes Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, and Gary Sinise.
The ending is so emotional and translates great on the big screen. This movie is also topped off with a beautiful musical score. 5 stars.
