Apollo 13 (I) (1995)
6/10
Average, not one I'd want to watch again

A few days ago was the first time I'd seen Apollo 13 (I'm 15, we were watching it at school) and I thought: "Anything to get out of work"

What greeted me afterwards was weird. I enjoyed the fact that it was based off a true story and not some Hollywood crap of what MIGHT have happened.

I will admit the re-entry scene (the ending) was done superbly, as well as Tom Hanks narrations of what happened after the events of Appolo. Perhaps my favourite part of the movie.

I struggled not to laugh at Tom Hanks' voice after years of seeing him as Toy Story's Woody; I believe Bill Paxton's role was not a good one, the actor was not suited for that type of role.

The entire movie in itself was very boring, especially the opening and before the launch. There were times during the space mission that I found interesting, but other than that, I really didn't enjoy it.

Not one I'd watch again.
