Based on the true story of the Apollo 13 mission, this is one of the truly best movies that I have ever seen. It was nominated for nine Academy Awards and Director Ron Howard showed another true knock out film. Actors Tom Hanks and Gary Sinise are at their true best. They bring out all of the emotions that I am sure were felt by the Apollo crew, the fear, the hope, and the devotion to each other. When things go wrong with the Apollo 13 moon landing, it goes from that to one of true survival. The crew in the ship and the crew on the ground trying desperately to get them home safely. Of course, historically we know how it turns out, but that doesn't take away from the emotion felt while watching this film. Truly one of the greatest!
If you are a fan of NASA and the Apollo program, this movie is a must-have for your DVD collection. Ron Howard does an excellent and respectful job of telling the story of the Apollo 13 flight and how NASA and the crew did the heroic and unthinkable to get the crew safely home. Better yet, this 2-disc anniversary edition has excellent added special features and commentary that add substantially to the story. In particular, I would recommend you listen to Marilyn Lovell's commentary and look for Gene Krantz's touching interview. This will always be one of my favorite movies.
Thanks for having this at a low price. Made it easy to decide to buy it even though I already own it on 4K for the novelty of the IMAX cut.
