This film really had me interested, but the breakthrough details of the visuals distracted me from the movie for a bit, and the dramatic, tension-riddled scenes toward the end go ON AND ON and after a while, that just gets boring,... Full review

Boxoffice Magazine
Tom Hanks, especially, is first-rate in another of his Everyman roles as Jim Lovell, Apollo 13's capable leader. What still impresses are the nail-biting tension of "Apollo 13's" second half, as time runs out for the crew, and the movie's excellent performances. ... Full Review

The Air Force and FAA control room scenes fall far short of a gold standard such as Ed Harris as mission commander in "Apollo 13. ... Full Review
