Amazon.com essential video:
NASA's worst nightmare turned into one of the space agency's most heroic moments in 1970, when the Apollo 13 crew was forced to hobble home in a disabled capsule after an explosion seriously damaged the moon-bound spacecraft. Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton play (respectively) astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise in director Ron Howard's intense, painstakingly authentic docudrama. The Apollo 13 crew and Houston-based mission controllers race against time and heavy odds to return the damaged spacecraft safely to Earth from a distance of 205,500 miles. Using state-of-the-art special effects and ingenious filmmaking techniques, Howard and his stellar cast and crew build nail-biting tension while maintaining close fidelity to the facts. The result is a fitting tribute to the Apollo 13 mission and one of the biggest box-office hits of 1995. --Jeff Shannon

Rating:  - Great Movie
This movie is just superb. The story is great, acting is great, and the historical accuracy is perfect. I loved the attention to detail that went into this movie. Definitely a must see even if you're not a space or NASA buff.
Rating: - Perfect For Everyone (especially Parents & Classrooms)
This is one of my all-time favorite movies, and for about a million reasons.But I'll just share a few.
Chances are good that you already know the basic premise: Three astronauts embark on a space mission to the moon, but technical complications not only jeopardize the mission, but their lives as well.Back on Earth, the Mission Control team based out of Houston work around the clock to get the astronauts home safely.
Based on real events (and mostly faithful, according ... Read More
Rating: - A very good and realistic movie about APOLLO 13and human determination
The movie APOLLO 13and of course the real odyssey that took place in 1970 are more than just a near space tragedy and an aborted manned flight to the moon. They are about human determination, intelligence, cooperation and the fight for life in time of a very big crisis and challenge which in case of APOLLO 13 created a miracle. Returning safely back to Earthwas a miracle because after an oxygen tank exploded in the service module en route to the moon, the spacecraft was so crippled that, not only ... Read More
Rating: - Apollo13:The Story of REAL Heroes
Okay, for you technophiles, Universal did a good job in the transfer to DVD.The colors are vivid and the picture is razor sharp.Sound quality is great and the overall experience is worth the price of admission.Save your money and buy the single disc set.The second disc is an edited IMAX version and the "extras" on the second disc are so so.All of the "good" extras are on the single disc version.
Now for the REAL story.Plain and simple, these guys were heroes in every sense of ... Read More
Rating:  - WHY THE MISSING SCENES???
Being a big follower of the space program since the mid-1960s, I was really excited when Apollo 13 was released..first on VHS, then to DVD.But on both the DVD-released versions, why are there scenes missing?One that I noticed right away is when Barbara Lovell(the Lovell's eldest daughter) doesn't want to go to Mission Control to watch the TV broadcast from space.Presumably because she is upset over the Beatle's breakup.Then much of the TV broadcast itself from the VHS version is missing.There ...
