Apollo 13 (1995)

★★★★1/2

Ron Howard’s gripping inspirational re-telling of the Apollo 13 disaster. Based on the real life story, the film finds three astronauts on their way to the moon when disaster strikes. With their oxygen levels slowly disappearing, time running out and not enough fuel to get back home, they must find a way to work together and save each other. This was an amazing tale, perfectly directed by Howard. The entire story was handled with care and precision and even though I know the ending, I still find myself on the edge of my seat. Highly recommended.
