Apollo 13

Tonight I saw Apollo 13 starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon and Bill Paxton. I've seen this movie before, but I haven't ever written about it. This is a really good movie. It has a good, real story to base itself on, and I think that's why it's so good. There's no Hollywood mumbo jumbo plot devices thrown in because it has them all already and they work, they're part of the real story.
Everybody knows the story, so this won't be a spoiler: Astronauts take off for the Moon, oxygen tanks blow up 4 days into the trip, the crew and people at NASA ground control fight to get the astronauts home safely. There's action, there's drama, there's touchy-feely (the astronaut's familys and the astronauts themselves) and it all has a happy ending. That's the way it happened and that's the way it was shown.
I highly recommend it if you haven't seen it before, and if you have, see it again because it's still good even if you know the ending.
