Wolff rating: EXCELLENT
Plot summary: The ill-fated Apollo mission has an in-flight failure.
Biased, pithy comments: This is really a story of people that happens to be set in space. The story is gripping and terrifying, the acting solid, and the reconstructions solid. Check it out.
Other Notes: The actors spent more time in freefall shooting this film than the crew of the Apollo 13 did during the mission.
How many times I have seen it: x1
Starring: Tom Hanks, other familiar faces
Directed by: Ron Howard
