Apollo 13 (I) (1995)
A true masterpiece
24 September 2000
Tom Hanks has once again proven he is the best actor in Hollywood. "Apollo 13" must be one of the greatest space films ever made.

Hanks is joined by Gary Sinise, Kevin Bacon, Ed Harris and Bill Paxton as the astronauts and flight crew for the doomed mission. The performances by each main character made "Apollo 13" one of the best films of the 1990s.

The performances from Tom Hanks and Kathleen Quinlan were among the best because they didn't have to act much to convince me that this was really happening to Jim and Marilyn Lovell. You can't mention these two without mentioning what a wonderful directing job Ron Howard did as he put together the greatestt compelation of talent in the best film of 1995.

"Apollo 13" is a great film because it serves more than one purpose. It taught me about the NASA program and the Apollo 13 mission. The other reason I liked this film was everything so real. From the chemistry between the cast to sets that doubled for space.

This film is well acted, directed and written; it deserves a second and third look from people who have seen it. I'm glad I got the opportunity to watch this film because it truly illustrates what can be accomplished if everyone comes together and use teamwork to accomplish their mission on and off the set.
