Apollo 13 (1995)

Cast: Tom Hanks (Jim Lovell), Bill Paxton (Fred Haise), Kevin Bacon (Jack Swigert), Gary Sinise (Ken Mattingly), Ed Harris (Gene Kranz)
For complete info, see IMDb's Apollo 13 page.

Apollo 13 is definitely a very good real-life drama directed by Ron Howard. Somehow, it didn't quite live up to my expectations. I can't really put my finger on the reason for this. The cast is great, the drama was well done, it's a great story based on real events... Perhaps it's just that Tom Hanks has been in a big movie for the last two years running and I would have rather seen someone else or something.

Either way, Apollo 13 is a very well done movie about events that really happened to the astronauts on their way to the moon.

Grade: B
