Apollo 13 (1995)

[Movie 162 / Day 173]


Space rocket takes off on moon-landing mission; breaks; "Houston, we have a problem"; aborts mission; gets home.

Based on real life, you know what's going to happen - yet the film manages to hold you in suspense and makes you really root for the characters stuck on board the stricken craft.

The actors are all as good as you'd expect really.

We should go back to the moon, it's been over 35 years.

My rating: 7.7 / 10
IMDB rating: 7.5 / 10
Running time: 140 mins
