Apollo 13

             Apollo 13 was a much more intense adventure film than some of the others that we have watched.  From beginning to end, there were many interesting twists that led to the climax of the movie.  In the beginning, the main character, Tom Hanks, was selected with two of his peers to make another trip to the moon.  When they were slightly through their training, one of them couldn't go because a blood test showed a possibility of him getting the measles during the trip.  He was replaced with a younger, less experienced pilot.  This was the first major twist where viewer predictions would fly.  They finally got to the point where they felt like they could trust each other more, and went into space.  This is when the oxygen tanks exploded on the ship which made them unable to land on the moon.  Houston had the challenge of getting them back safe dropped onto them.  They were just barely able to do it, which kept the viewers on the edge of their seat all the way to the end.  Overall, this was a great movie.
