Apollo 13 was an astonishing, suspenseful thrill ride that had me on the edge of my seat. It's absolutely crazy that the astronauts aboard the Apollo 13 survived and this movie details their survival in all its glory.

The performances were absolutely top notch, with Tom Hanks leading a stellar cast of character actors. The terror in their eyes felt real, as the idea of being trapped in outer space terrifies me to the core. I appreciated how most of the dialogue was NASA's technical lingo, as it added to the realism and made the film seem more like an actual event.

Ron Howard is a great director and he continues to make films like this that entertain and thrill us to the point where it feels more like real life than a movie. The drama in this film was more believable than I'd seen in a long time and because of that, this movie excelled and won me over.
