Review of Apollo 13 (1995) by Jens S — 15 Jul 2012
To make a compelling and enthralling film about an event the outcome of which is pretty well known is not exactly easy. It does help, of course, if you can rely on names like Hanks, Sinise, Harris or Bacon.
In the end, it only works if everyone involved delivers their best. This is one of those cases. Director Ron Howard knows exactly which buttons to push to get a reaction from the audience. And so we are sitting there, on the edge of our seats, even though we know A13 made it home in one piece against all odds.
It's just so incredibly well done from the script, acting, music, camera work to the great Zero G special effects. An outstanding history lesson and perfect entertainment.
