Apollo 13 is truly outstanding, one of the best movies of the last 20 years.


Agree. Only flaw with it was that it made Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon's character) look slightly incompetent (which is definitely false)

For a movie it was a good sub-plot. Jack Swigert, in reality, pretty much wrote the astronaut's guide to the Command Service Module for project Apollo. No one knew that capsule better than him.

Apollo 13 is definitely in my Top 10 All-Time list. The film features solid performances, a great story, and visuals that look incredible to this day.
