HIGHLIGHT APOLLO

HIGHLIGHT APOLLO 13
“Houston, we have a
problem.” There’s virtually
no dramatic embellishment
in this fact-based thrillermostly because it wasn’t
necessary. Director Ron
Howard sticks close to
real-life events in the 1995
feature that rewinds the
ill-fated Apollo 13 mission.
The first half of the film
covers the events building
up to the third lunar
expedition in 1970, by which
time the American public
was already tiring of the
space missions. The movie’s
second half details in precise
moments the string of bad
luck leading up to NASA’s
decision to abort the moon
landing, thereby leaving
astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred
Haise and Jack Swagertwell played by Tom Hanks,
Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon,
respectively—to limp home
in a damaged spacecraft.
