# Apollo 13 (1995)

Sep 19, 2025 | Rated 4 out of 5 | Dir. Ron Howard

Is this Ron Howard’s best film?… Yeah probably.

I love how in the universe the film they take time to remark about how boring NASA and space travel actually is, and then Ron Howard goes on and attempts to make math and bureaucracy in government look Hella exciting
