I love this movie. It's truly one of the best space-related movies, right beside Martian! Of course, I don't recommend this movie to all, because of foul language and sexual scenes. Tom Hanks was awesome!

Very good movie and it gets a lot of the history and details right and they even used freefall in an airplane for a lot of the zero-G scenes. I think they missed Frances “Poppy” Northcutt in mission control though--I think all the staff…

Wow! This is a great movie! Ron Howard has done an excellent job of telling the story of the ill-fated Apollo 13. Although there are no suprises in the film, I still found myself on the edge of my seat, waiting to find out if the crew…

Still by far the best dramatization of American space exploration, much superior to the plodding and ponderous First Man.

Great story with a little humor. There is some mild language. It was probably stressful up there, but very beautiful.

An excellent movie, probably the best one regarding NASA, and a great performance by all those involved.

Glorious failure. Apollo 13 game complacent NASA that going to space was a risky job.

One of the best films I have seen in this year. It was entertaining and interesting. Great performances a must see for all. “Truly a really great movie worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box”.
