...I believe this is gonna be our finest hour

I watched Apollo 13 Saturday night for bonus in Physics. I have seen it a few times, but I have never actually sat down and watched the film in its entirety. I didn’t realize the beauty and suspense of the film in previous years. I don’t think I have seen another film by Ron Howard, who has produced Cinderella Man, A Beautiful Mind, and many hit TV shows.

I have never been in space, but I do think the cinematography was very accurate in depicting the scenes in the rocket and in space. It is very dramatic and suspenseful throughout the film, because the conflict is introduced early on. The music is very eerie and oftentimes sent chills down my spine as their lives were on the line. At some points, I think the drama was a little overboard and maybe even exaggerated.

What is so incredible about this film, however, is that it is a true story, which makes it more appealing I think. It was a pleasing way to get bonus points in Physics.
