Ron Howard's Academy Award-winning take on the Apollo 13 story. The mission, manned by astronauts Lovell (Tom Hanks), Swigert (Kevin Bacon) and Haise (Bill Paxton), starts out as a routine space flight which generates little media interest. But all that changes when an oxygen tank explosion cripples the ship and prompts the famous line, 'Houston, we have a problem'. Now Lovell and his crew have to struggle to keep going, while at Mission Control their colleagues Kranz (Ed Harris) and Mattingly (Gary Sinise) do everything they can to bring them home. Contains 4K UHD disc of the film and one Blu-ray with the film and Bonus Features: Lost Moon: The Triumph of Apollo 13 (The Making of Apollo 13) Conquering Space: The Moon and Beyond Lucky 13: The Astronaut’s Story Apollo 13: 20 Years Later Feature Commentary with Director Ron Howard Review: Times when I forgot to breathe. - An amazing film.

Great space film, great science film
No other movie I know does such a good job of showing how teamwork - not genius individuals - solves problems and save lives, and it also sticks very close to the true story. Although it's not Lovell - played by Hanks - but Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon in the film) who originally said "Okay, Houston, we've had a problem here" (rather than the Hollywood version, "Houston we have a problem")

Breathtaking
An exciting, nail-biting and exhilarating doomed trip to the moon and back with director Ron Howard in the pilot's seat and a very able cast to help see it through. An unforgettable ride with many scenes filmed at 20 second bursts on NASAs 'Vomit Comet' where real zero gravity was achieved. Tear-jerking and triumphant, never dull and sprinkled with humour. For me the brilliant Kathleen Quinlan steals the show, however; from her famous husband's shadow she emerges as vulnerable, strong and determined (". . .if they have a problem with that they can take it up with my husband; he'll be back on Friday.") Absolute 10 out of 10.
