Review of Apollo 13 (1995) by Steven V — 27 Nov 2009
Probably one of the most significant things about Apollo 13 is the fact that it managed to be such a strikingly realistic movie despite the abundance of well-known Hollywood actors. Tom Hanks can convincingly act any part in the world, and his role in Apollo 13 is no exception.
All of the actors involved seemed to have been given parts that they were born to play, because they were so successful in the roles. The true events of the historic Apollo 13 mission are amazingly re-created here and the results are spectacular.
The movie also presents a nearly flawless portrayal of the time period, even down to the slide rulers that were used to do calculations. Another thing that was used in the perfect amount in Apollo 13 was the special effects.
The special effects in Apollo 13 served the movie very well. The most significant special effect in the movie, aside from the space scenes, was the zero gravity, which was done flawlessly. has an excellent story made even better by the fact that it is true, it has great acting, skillful direction, and plenty of tasteful humor.
