Apollo 13 Ratings & Reviews
- mickerdooJuly 18, 2025Phenomenal retelling of lunar mission. Hanks is superb. Effective effects. Great drama and tension with problems to solve. Supporting cast!
- sKRxPTidMarch 2, 2025A space film and true story that's an American classic.. what more can you ask for? Yet another reason the 90's was the last Great American Decade. 8.1/10
- Kevin WardJuly 1, 2025One of my all-time favorites. Just amazed at what the actors and the camera crew accomplished filming this in actual zero-g in 30-ish second increments. Incredible tension and drama, outstanding cast. Probably Ed Harris’s greatest roles. RIP Bill Paxton. Personally I was rooting for Hanks to get a third consecutive best actor Oscar, but he didn’t get the nom. This is one of my comfort movies though.
- Noah Austin BrooksJune 27, 2025"Apollo 13," directed by Ron Howard and released in 1995, stands out as an extraordinary cinematic masterpiece. Its gripping storytelling and stellar performances immerse viewers in the harrowing true story of NASA’s ill-fated mission, making it one of the greatest films of all time.
- Phillip JepsenJune 22, 2025Classic disaster response film, heavily based on real events. Hanks and co give fantastic performances, I watch it once or twice a year
- The Gutter MonkeyFebruary 7, 2025Very Hollywood, but never veers into Michael Bay-level spectacle and melodrama. It endeavors to be historically and scientifically accurate and the sentimentality it evokes, it earns.
- JoachimMay 19, 2025Great movie
- Mister ArnMay 14, 2025Ron Howard does a good job of telling a true story with accuracy, while still keeping the drama needed to make it fun to watch.
- shirazesatMay 3, 2025Some aspects of what happened could have been better explained - but maybe the idea is that I'm meant to read the autobiography this is based off.
- 匚卂尺ㄥJanuary 27, 2025🌑It a good film to watch and its nearly 3hrs long I would recommend it if people interested in science fiction films
