Apollo 13 (Film Critique)

Normally i'm not into space shows, but Apollo 13 was really good. The actors kind of seemed dull and boring at first, but once they were in the space ship you could tell they were nervous, excited, stressed, etc. The filming was done really well because it looked like they were really in space. Nothing seemed too fake and I felt like I was watching a documentary. You can easily tell when the tone shifts from excited to worried because when the astronauts first got into space they act relaxed and relieved that the launch went well. Their mission shifted from going to the moon to making sure they get home alive (which definitely changed the tone of the movie). It was suspenseful and dramatic because one minute it would seem like they were going to for sure make it home, and then all of the sudden something else would go wrong and they would barely fix it in time. Although you could tell the other astronauts didn't do to well under pressure, Jim took initiative and tried to keep them calm (although you could tell he was worried too).
