Apollo 13 (DVD, 2005, Special Anniversary Edition (Widescreen))

As advertised as a great space program epic. This is an academy award winner and drives home the fact that the people who go into space are in danger. Will be watched again and again. A keeper for sure.

Anyone who loves outer space will very much love this movie. it takes you back to the true events of apollo 13 and tells the heroic tale of three astronauts who take a thrilling journey into outer space and find out there mission will be cut short. and will try to get back to earth in one piece.

It's a history movie of mankind for trying to go to landing at the moon but some journey but smooth, Apollo 13 has a big problems be the cause of cancel mission to landing the moon, and second problem is how can Houston take three astronaut come hone.

This is my favorite movie. I would like to recommend to everyone.
Tom Hanks is the best movie actor. Great done by Tom Hanks

Outstanding! I have watched this movie twice and can't wait to watch it again. So well done! Bravo Ron Howard!!! Bravo Tom Hanks - what a versatile talent! If he were playing a 9 year old ballerina in toe shoes, I'd buy it. Now all you macho types out there - sorry - all firey explosions in this movie are strictly limited to the necessity of the story. No gratuitous sex or violence and - oh my goodness - you might even learn something. My kind of movie 100%

WATCH IT - WATCH IT - WATCH IT!!!!!

the true story of apollo 13,imagine flying to the moon only to find out that is a serious problem and now you don't know if you are going to survive.
it keeps you on the edge of your seat to see how they manage to get home.
it was a gift for my wife.

TOM HANKS IS A VERY GOOD ACTOR.I LIKE HIS MOVIES VERY MUCH.WE NEED TO EXPLORE OUR GLAXAY,STAR'S MOON,SOLAR WORLD,AND METOR'S IT'S A TRUE BLESSING TO STUDY ALLTHAT'S CREATATED OUT THERE IN THE HEAVEN'S! BUT THERE ARE SOME THING'S MAN NEED'S TO LEAVE ALONE! THE MOVIE IS WONDERFUL.

This movie is about America's "successful failure". Great movie for everyone to enjoy. This movie has a great cast, and great history. I hope you enjoy this movie about mankind's third event to land on the moon.

First of all, it said that I would get 2 DVDs and I only received 1.
Secondly, I've seen this movie enough times to know that there were at least 4 scenes that were not on the DVD that I got, which was a bit disappointing.

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!
