It's easily Howard's best film.

Apollo 13 is a blast for thrill-seekers and a joy for humanists who seek emotional truths in films.

Apollo 13 is a terribly exciting experience, but it could have been a terribly moving one as well.

A true story filled with suspense and human drama.

Toward the end ... the pace picks up considerably at this point, and the film becomes the heroic adventure that was intended.

The depiction of the rocket launch remains one of the most exhilarating sequences ever captured on film; so realistic that NASA wondered where the filmmakers got the footage.
