Apollo 13 (1995)
IT’S DIFFICULT TO TRUST FILM REVIEWS THESE DAYS
They’re usually put out there by shills who are bought and paid for… Or they’re plants direct from the studio… Or they’re simply published by lily-livered hacks too scared of being black-listed by the corporations that own the studios… But BRONSON GREEN gives it to you straight !
REGULAR 3-LINE NO-FRILLS, NO BS FILM REVIEWS… SIMPLE AS THAT, READERS !!!

Apollo 13 – Mature, well-crafted drama brings welcome detail to the real-life saga, but is not best served by the extended length and slow pacing. Definitely high caliber Hollywood film making by Ritchie Cunningham, with excellent zero-gravity shooting, and some impressive physical and visual effects, but flat nascent CGI has aged exceptionally badly, and the numerous Corvette Stingrays feel over-used. Good overall late ‘60s/1970 production design and feel though, and solid work as usual by Horner. 7.65/10
