I really liked all the actor's in this film, Loved the special effects and the way the movie kept me and my family on edge to see what happened next. I also enjoyed the movie for reason's of it being a clean and decent movie for my children to watch and those are far and few in between to find as any parent would tell you!! I bought the movie because we love Tom Hanks and the other actors in this film and its just an overall fantastic exciting movie! I would definitely recommend this movie for people of all ages but, if your looking for a movie for family night..this is one movie i wouldn't think twice about to pop into the DVD player!! Just my opinion of course but i truly believe once you view it, you'll want to see it again and again and take pleasure in knowing its clean for the kids and exciting for the adults as well!!

this movie is the best that Ron Howard has made my wife and i love to see this over and over tom hanks is a good actor in this movie

Received our win today......what a great deal. Easy Breezy all the way. DVD and case were in much better condition than we even expected and we were thrilled to get the package so quickly. We will definately check EBay for more goodies from this guy.

Excellent and suspenseful movie. I would reccomd this movie to any space fanitic. Half.com has been a great addition to my online purchasing.

I also enjoyed this movie. Great story, and a true one. I had just turned 12 years old when it happened and remember it being in the news. My older brother said our father had even asked us to pray for the Astronauts, but I had forgotten that. I was too young to understand all the details of what went on, so decided to get this movie and it explains everything very well. I had no idea there were so many obstacles to over come. Movie had great acting, great story, and was exciting. Highly recommended. Russ

The screen writers did a very excellent script. Its a good all round story, tense exciting,funny and the whole family can watch. No sex or blood and gore,my kind of movie. Always like Tom Hanks. Didn't dislike anything.

I bought this for my eight year old son. He has recently shown an interest in space and recently I assisted in a classroom where Bruce Melnick visited.
The whole EBAY transaction was flawless as was the DVD.

This film captures a portion of American History and glorifies the nations struggle. It personifies a nations will to fight on till all cards have been played. To never give up when face with adversity to be an American.
Each character in this film exemplifies our American culture and the people who we call neighbors and friends. Great for the whole family regardless of age. Wire your stereo to the television and blast off for the moon.

The actors are excellent, the story and also the small deatils are very close to the real events. One of my favorite.

Tizz OK. Nothing to write home about, just ok. Just not as good as it could have been. Heck, FireFly was way better than that!!!! But, it's a true, so it makes for a good flick.
