The 90s were the best time for films for my generation. This film is a masterclass example for filmmaking, editing, direction, music, writing, acting, effect (CGI PLUS PRACTICAL). Now what is left? I rewatch old movies instead of new ones.

You're right! '90's gave us •APOLLO 13 •BRAVEHEART •LAST of the MOHICHANS •FORREST GUMP •CAST AWAY •CONQUEST of PARADISE •SAVING PRVT RYAN •GETTYSBURG •SHINDLER'S LIST
Man, still love this scene. People who like to deny we've been to the moon always like to remark that we didn't have the tech to make it. They are right...they just didn't let that stop them.
We had the tech and there are photos videos and explanations and proof of how all of it worked and it’s odd that people say we didn’t go to the moon after seeing one thing from a random person but deny all of the actual evidence.
The astronaut portrayed by Gary Sinise - TK 'Ken' Mattingly - died 10.31.23 age 87. He became the command module pilot (CMP) on Apollo 16 and commanded two space shuttle missions.
Bless him for his service to the people of the United States and the world for his dedication to space exploration for future generations of astronauts to learn from
I love james Horners work. And I can always tell when he did the score for a film even without looking it up. He loves to use the brass horns lol and a lot of certain cues just sound similar across movies like titanic, a perfect storm, amazing spiderman etc
When you watch this film you realise the bravery of the astronauts, the professionalism of Mission Control and the brilliance of all the engineers and ground crew , all 400,000 of them . Proud that I’m an engineer as well and the Apollo missions inspired me to become an engineer 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍

That should be the REAL BATTLES still being pursued more than 50 years later, and that WE should be TAKING FURTHER ON !!! Not using ROCKET SCIENCE to just KILL innocent others of our SAME and fragile SINGLE species... Great and Very Glorious Days of the Past 60's, which very few some of the living ones are still able to Fully Remember, but may be not for much More Time... if somehow the DARK SIDE of POWER win the actual inquestionably futile battles in the name of country honor to "conquest" another piece of land... while the REAL CONQUERING of the SKIES which could someday FREE the HOLE HUMANITY from slaveness to our lonely planet, was TRULY WON 50 years ago, where the REAL duels where between ROCKETS and GRAVITY !!! and the REAL TARGETS were the other planets of our solar systems and the SKIES above us ALL !!!
Kudos to the cast and crew for creating a film that not only entertains but also leaves a lasting impact. A true testament to the power of storytelling.

One Saturday afternoon back around 1995, I wandered down to the local cinema not knowing what was on, I'd just watch whatever movie was showing. I hadn't heard anything about this movie before I looked at the list of movies and though "Apollo 13? Okay, could be interesting". So I bought a ticket and went in. At the end of the movie, I wandered out of the cinema "like one that hath been stunned", I felt like I'd just flown to the Moon and back myself, enduring incredible hardship and tension. It was hours before I got back to normal. A truly brilliant movie, creating an immersive experience, by Ron Howard.
Always. It’s so powerful and stirring. In the theater everyone kinda gasped and smiled/nodded. This and “Pulp Fiction” may be my two most memorable movie viewings, for hugely different reasons. But everyone around me was totally hooked/engrossed in both, responding accordingly.
This, and just before re-entry, when Jim Lovell tells Swigert and Haise "Gentlemen, it's been a privilege flying with you". He's saying that, knowing it could be one of the last sentence he will ever speak.

My earliest memory at 4 years old was watching the liftoff. My mum was ironing my dads shirts, and she had yellow trousers and a blue top, and she said to me “look David, men are going to the moon!”. I’ll never forget that memory.
One of my first memory was going with my dad to the electronics shop and they have a wall of VHS cassettes with new movies. I can still see the red carpet and remember the smell of the shop when my dad picked out the Apollo 13 cassette. I was so excited to see this movie. And I cherish this moment forever.

Perhaps one of the most fantastic six-minutes in cinematic production... Ron Howard combined scientific discovery, human achievement, personal emotion, and musical beauty into a single scene. Phenomenal!
I was a young man in England when this happened and I remember it well. I remember that for the first and last time, the whole world was at one in wishing a safe return for the astronauts. I've been to Florida and seen the Saturn 5, wow and double wow and I'm just having my monthly Apollo 13 lift off fix at the moment
This scene really put us inside that ship. I feel the anxiety, the fear, the wonder of exploration. I get goose bumps from this scene. The music score is absolutely incredible through the whole sequence.
One of my favorite scenes on demonstrating my home cinema setup to friends 20 years ago. Nowadays, the special effects seem cheesy. But still, I love miniature effects, brilliant.
I saw this movie as a child. It was almost 30 years ago, but I remember it well. That wish did not come true, but at that time I was inspired to pursue a space-related career. Great film.
Ed Harris is so fucking good as Gene Krantz. This movie is a masterpiece. The music, the acting, the effects, just amazing stuff. I will say about the music, you can tell the same guy did the music for Titanic, the soundtracks are almost interchangeable, but that's not a bad thing. Horner is a legend
They definitely went to town on the names for it Tom, Kevin, Bill, Gary, Clint and Ed. Then the absolute master stroke was making Jim Lovell himself captain of the Iwo Jima
I loved space and science ever since I was as young as I can remember, and I saw this movie in theaters at age 13. It was the best movie experience I've ever had in my life.
One often unnoticed inaccuracy that Ron Howard could have fixed is that Gene Kranz said the average age of his mission controllers was 27 with many in their first jobs out of college, hardly anybody in their 30s. Gene himself was 36 during Apollo 11 and considered the OLD man, albeit the leader of the pack. It would have been great to portray the Apollo generation as it was in those days. Gene felt that this was an asset, because 20 year olds are to unaware to know what is impossible. I'd hate to think that Howard thought hiring 20 year old actors would have been unbelievable and as a result didn't do it, because that's how it actually was.
Look at the faces of the engineers in The Martian or the real people working on these projects with Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and the others “doing space” now- young and brilliant!
Watched on big screen . Never gets old. Saturn Five . The most impressive flying machine ever. Americans should be proud of this achievement. Over Fifty years ago.
@@markwaldron8954 I prefer "From the Earth to the Moon" (produced by Tom Hanks) because you can clearly see who and how the Saturn 5 was built and what else went into landing on the moon.
For those who aren't sure of the significance of Jim commenting on the fuel pump noises, and the "little jolt," while it does conveniently clue the viewer into what's going on, it's also plot relevant; Jim had flown on the Saturn rocket prior to the Apollo 13 mission, but Fred and Jack hadn't. So Jim was explaining to them what was going on.
Very nostalgic film. This brings me back to my good old childhood days whenever I watch it. I remember watching this on repeat on HBO way back in the 90s. Powerhouse cast, fantastic musical score that hits the spot, and not to mention every single detail of this movie is a huge piece of history.
@@rajibcreation7819 "Apollo 13" There are many documentaries about those heady days of NASA, right here on TH-cam. I highly recommend you search them out. Imagine building a space program from scratch starting in the late 1950s.
It's absolutely brilliant although Armstrong should have realised it was created as the retraction of the access arms is all wrong. The shots of the interior of the CM are amazing. I've watched the scene lots of times and not yet found an error there - correct even down to the checklists. The engine cut-out lights are wrongly displayed but I'll live with that for dramatic effect: they knew apparently they had that wrong.
3:45 “We see your BPC is Clear 13” 4:14 Actual BPC being removed with the LES “Launch Escape System” Edit: BPC Stands for “Boost Protective Cover” and was to protect the Command Module from the hot exhaust gases of the Solid Rocket Abort Engines from the escape tower, as part of the LES. This was here incase it was needed to haul the Command Module away from the main rocket in the event an emergency, and could be used on the ground or in flight (The latter being more dangerous, especially near “ Max-Q” Maximum Dynamic Pressure). This abort could be initiated by the “Abort” Handle as seen in the pre-launch shots of Lovell eying it up. The Abort could also be initiated automatically if a major fault was detected, by the Emergency Detection System or “EDS”, which Lovell reverts to Manual as seen here, meaning he had full control over whether the launch was aborted from there onwards. After the first stage is burned out and the S-II ignited however, the most dangerous part of the launch is considered passed, the spacecraft has cleared most of the atmosphere, passed max Q and is now just burning to pick up speed, thus the LES is jettisoned as it’s just deadweight “Tower Jet!”. The crew now enters Abort Mode-II, even with the LES gone, they can still abort the mission by using the CSM SPS Engine to clear the rocket and then orient themselves for a re-entry and splashdown, thus why Lovell is once again eying up the Abort Handle after the centre engine failed. The Centre Engine failed due to what is called “Pogo-Oscillation” whereby a partial vacuum in the fuel and oxidizer feed lines reached the engine firing chamber causing the engine to “skip”, and basically fire on and off. This caused extremely damaging vibrations for the launch vehicle. The cutoff necessitated the burning of the remaining four engines, which was fine. What is interesting is that it potentially saved their lives. The longer than anticipated launch meant that control changed some of their procedures and moved up the O2 Tank stir well ahead of schedule, during transit to the moon, instead of during it’s orbital phase of The Moon while the crew in the LEM was supposed to be on the Lunar Surface. Had that happened instead, the crew would likely have perished, so in a way the “Unlucky Mission” was actually the lucky mission.
I grew up during all the phases of putting men into space. I was 9 years old when Sputnik was launched. I didn't understand it and it scared the crap out of me. Was just going on watch in the Navy when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. I was hoping it would have been one of the original Mercury astronauts. Every one of those guys had a huge set of stones to ride those rockets. The high point of them all was the return of Apollo 13. American ingenuity at its best. The shuttle program was a farcical example of what happens when bean counters try to be engineers. RIP to those explorers who suffered the consequences.
I just love it that the surgeon is the only one smoking a cigarette. All pilots especially the commercial type dread flight surgeons that hold power over a pilot’s ability to exercise the privileges of either his or her certificate. I had two flight surgeons who died of pancreatic cancer during my career.
Loved this scene I was watching this in my science class it was so cool and awesome I will always remember a lot of my friends were screaming this will always be 1 one my favorite movies
I'm old enough to have lived through the "successful failure" and young enough to remember how the world was glued to the attempt to save the astronauts. There's a whole troubleshooting philosophy called "the Apollo Method" that was developed based on what was needed to get them home.
I love this scene... It was a great time to be alive. I was a kid at the time and it changed my life ... This country has lost that kind of drive... GO FOR IT!!
I remember the scene later in the movie, when the Astronauts are in the LEM and Lovell (Hanks) is trying to warm up a sick Haise (Bill Paxton, RIP). Apparently upon seeing the movie, Jim Lovell said, "I didn't hug him THAT long!".
I was watching a documentary about this mission and it turns out that center engine shutdown saved the crew's lives. It was vibrating so badly (called pogo) that it would have ripped the whole rocket apart if it kept running much longer. The reason it shut down is the flight computer detected how violently the engine was vibrating and cut it off.
At 3:32: That is a cool cameo. That's Jim Lovell the actual commander of Apoolo 13. He also appears later in the movie as the captain of the carrier welcoming the crew onboard.
So sorry I missed this sad event,. Theirs was one of, if not the longest space marriage. Sincere sympathy to Jim and their four children and grandchildren. RIP Marilyn😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
I don't know why people will say we never made it to the moon. i know they say, all of this was from NASA/Gov but it wasn't - we had armature Ham Radio that tracked each mission - saw the signals cut off on the 'dark side' - witnessed the telemetry that was sent by both craft, and scientific experiments left on the moon! 10s of thousands of separate I witnesses to the greatest achievement of men/women kind ever. I lived this era! When we walked THE MOON
My family and I drove to California in July 1969... You know , Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, Long Beach, Marineland, Beverly Hillbillies house.... The whole schmeer. My Birthday 🎂 is on July 15th... I turned 6 Armstrong stepped on the Moon on the 20th My Dad had a Polaroid Land camera. He took photos of the tv of man walking on the moon I still have them What a Trip I'll never forget
Isn‘t it just incredible to see three people accelerating to the speed of a bullet? Even the design of the rocket is akin to a bullet. Hardly surprising.
You mean TEN TIMES the speed of a bullet? And that was just to get into orbit. They were going 13-14 times faster than a bullet when the third stage had done its job and they were on their way to the Moon.
Прекрасное время для космонавтики! По-настоящему отважные и умные люди развивали её тогда. Я очень хочу верить в то, что это всё не предел и что однажды космонавты всех космических держав будут вместе работать не только на Луне, но и на других планетах Солнечной системы. У человечества действительно есть масса занятий, вместо войн и политических побоищ.

Now with the Artemis program going on with NASA it was only fair to watch this one again to know where this all began just getting the biggest chills.
I grew up during Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, saw a shuttle landing. So looking forward to Artemis.
@@PlasmaCoolantLeakWill see what SpaceX does in the future as well they are really making progress with starship.
@@KYLOWW here after the B12 catch that launch gave me the chills I can't wait till I get to see a launch in person
I keep on watching and rewatching this scene. Still one of the best and most realistic space launch scenes ever made
James Horner was a genius, he is sorely missed.
If this movie ever shows up in the theatre again make sure you see it in an Imax theatre. I still get goose bumps decades later when viewing this launch clip.
I saw this masterpiece 7 times at my cinema the launch sequence and the music it’s just mesmerising 👏👏
was it cgi?
@@kalfunai Most definitely.
@@kalfunaiMostly practical - scaled models, motion control cameras and stuff, but supplemented by CGI, obviously. If you're interested, look up for Corridor Crew episode where they interview, I believe, the special effect supervisor for this movie.
Pure Joy and Delight to hear such Maestral tracks produced near 30 years ago with the Incomparable Touch which only Miss Lennox voice could Deeply Reach at the End Credits th-cam.com/video/HDLRgpYqibE/w-d-xo.html !!!

RIP, Ken Mattingly. They don't make em like you anymore...
Where Ken parked his car to watch the launch that he ended up not being on, all by himself... Imagine yourself being able to go back in time and park that field to watch such an incredible historic event... amazing he was all alone!
And he said. Go.
He was atlas lifting her to the heaven whilst being left behind. Ĝreat moment. I felt it also.
I agree, but he was way too close to the launch site. In reality he would have been killed or knocked unconscious by the blast from the engines.
Exactly.@@johncook1997
@@johncook1997No he wasn't, but what I would give for that gold vet! Then again, it's a movie. And, the flowers weren't blooming as he stated later. Absolutely fabulous cast!
My earliest memory at 4 years old was watching the liftoff. My mum was ironing my dads shirts, and she had yellow trousers and a blue top, and she said to me “look David, men are going to the moon!”. I’ll never forget that memory.
One of my first memory was going with my dad to the electronics shop and they have a wall of VHS cassettes with new movies. I can still see the red carpet and remember the smell of the shop when my dad picked out the Apollo 13 cassette. I was so excited to see this movie. And I cherish this moment forever.

You too ?
I don't always think about this movie, but when I do, it always feels like the best movie in the world. Still have never watched a better space movie.
This scene still gives me goosebumps. I can't believe it's been almost thirty years since this film was released and I first saw it.

Perhaps one of the most fantastic six-minutes in cinematic production...
Ron Howard combined scientific discovery, human achievement, personal emotion, and musical beauty into a single scene.
Phenomenal!
My love for rocketry, and space exploration come with this movie, and change me forever,best movie of the 90s decade 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Mine was Deep Impact (1998). The movie's spacecraft, Messiah, always amazed me.
@@IronMan-tk8uc oh yeah that space ship is amazing
I was a young man in England when this happened and I remember it well. I remember that for the first and last time, the whole world was at one in wishing a safe return for the astronauts. I've been to Florida and seen the Saturn 5, wow and double wow and I'm just having my monthly Apollo 13 lift off fix at the moment
This scene really put us inside that ship. I feel the anxiety, the fear, the wonder of exploration. I get goose bumps from this scene. The music score is absolutely incredible through the whole sequence.
This scene never gets old
One of my favorite scenes on demonstrating my home cinema setup to friends 20 years ago. Nowadays, the special effects seem cheesy. But still, I love miniature effects, brilliant.
A cinematic masterpiece.
One of the best scenes ever 🍿 🎬
Every time I see the scene where Tom's portrayal of Lovell saying "We have had our glitch for this mission" I think FAMOUS LAST WORDS!
I saw this movie as a child. It was almost 30 years ago, but I remember it well.
That wish did not come true, but at that time I was inspired to pursue a space-related career.
Great film.
I love this scene more than any other in all movies, old and new!
Ed Harris is so fucking good as Gene Krantz. This movie is a masterpiece. The music, the acting, the effects, just amazing stuff.
I will say about the music, you can tell the same guy did the music for Titanic, the soundtracks are almost interchangeable, but that's not a bad thing. Horner is a legend
They definitely went to town on the names for it Tom, Kevin, Bill, Gary, Clint and Ed. Then the absolute master stroke was making Jim Lovell himself captain of the Iwo Jima
God, that soundtrack...
An international director with creative actors...the result is a film that never gets boring...a beautiful and enjoyable watch...a film worth watching
The director Ron Howard, is American.
The visual effects still look great in 2024
I still remember seeing this in the theater at 15 years old. Was amazing!
I’m 15 years old now
@@jamestropicals8262 enjoy your youth buddy. This will be the best 10-15 years of your life. One day you’ll wake up and be and old 42 year old man.
@@Ryan-sw8rx Yes, I will be 42 in 2050
@@Ryan-sw8rxain't that the truth.
I loved space and science ever since I was as young as I can remember, and I saw this movie in theaters at age 13. It was the best movie experience I've ever had in my life.
One often unnoticed inaccuracy that Ron Howard could have fixed is that Gene Kranz said the average age of his mission controllers was 27 with many in their first jobs out of college, hardly anybody in their 30s. Gene himself was 36 during Apollo 11 and considered the OLD man, albeit the leader of the pack. It would have been great to portray the Apollo generation as it was in those days. Gene felt that this was an asset, because 20 year olds are to unaware to know what is impossible. I'd hate to think that Howard thought hiring 20 year old actors would have been unbelievable and as a result didn't do it, because that's how it actually was.
If there were to be anyone watching your back? I'd take Mr. Gene any day. That man didn't mess around.
Look at the faces of the engineers in The Martian or the real people working on these projects with Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and the others “doing space” now- young and brilliant!
I liked this movie, and I advise everyone to watch it
Watched on big screen . Never gets old. Saturn Five . The most impressive flying machine ever. Americans should be proud of this achievement. Over Fifty years ago.
I think this film should be shown in schools it might sound strange but i think it's a great inspiration for the next generation
One of the most patriotic films ever made. The Right Stuff is another one.
@@markwaldron8954 I prefer "From the Earth to the Moon" (produced by Tom Hanks) because you can clearly see who and how the Saturn 5 was built and what else went into landing on the moon.
In my book, probably the greatest film of all time.
For those who aren't sure of the significance of Jim commenting on the fuel pump noises, and the "little jolt," while it does conveniently clue the viewer into what's going on, it's also plot relevant; Jim had flown on the Saturn rocket prior to the Apollo 13 mission, but Fred and Jack hadn't. So Jim was explaining to them what was going on.
Very nostalgic film. This brings me back to my good old childhood days whenever I watch it. I remember watching this on repeat on HBO way back in the 90s. Powerhouse cast, fantastic musical score that hits the spot, and not to mention every single detail of this movie is a huge piece of history.
A superb piece of cinematography and the music real makes it special
Один из самых лучших фильмов про освоение космоса.
❤ The launch scene gave me goosebumps
and it always will
Like the Launch scene in Armageddon
فيلم جميل ، موسيقى روعة ، يستحق مشاهدة❤
There are some cinematic events you never forget watching. I'll never forget seeing this in the theatre. What an event.
Same for me.
what an honor for tom hanks and gary sinise to have been a part of 2 of the best movies of all time, apollo 13 and forest gump.
best historical space film!
Film name ???
@@rajibcreation7819
"Apollo 13"
There are many documentaries about those heady days of NASA, right here on TH-cam.
I highly recommend you search them out.
Imagine building a space program from scratch starting in the late 1950s.
@@rajibcreation7819Appllo 13. There are many more. Red Planet, Mission to Mars to name a couple.

This is so realistic even Neil Armstrong said how do they get the launch footage
Ron Howard said that this launch sequence was the scene he was most proud of filming in his career. With good reason, because it's brilliant.
It's absolutely brilliant although Armstrong should have realised it was created as the retraction of the access arms is all wrong. The shots of the interior of the CM are amazing. I've watched the scene lots of times and not yet found an error there - correct even down to the checklists. The engine cut-out lights are wrongly displayed but I'll live with that for dramatic effect: they knew apparently they had that wrong.
3:45 “We see your BPC is Clear 13”
4:14 Actual BPC being removed with the LES “Launch Escape System”
Edit: BPC Stands for “Boost Protective Cover” and was to protect the Command Module from the hot exhaust gases of the Solid Rocket Abort Engines from the escape tower, as part of the LES.
This was here incase it was needed to haul the Command Module away from the main rocket in the event an emergency, and could be used on the ground or in flight (The latter being more dangerous, especially near “ Max-Q” Maximum Dynamic Pressure).
This abort could be initiated by the “Abort” Handle as seen in the pre-launch shots of Lovell eying it up.
The Abort could also be initiated automatically if a major fault was detected, by the Emergency Detection System or “EDS”, which Lovell reverts to Manual as seen here, meaning he had full control over whether the launch was aborted from there onwards.
After the first stage is burned out and the S-II ignited however, the most dangerous part of the launch is considered passed, the spacecraft has cleared most of the atmosphere, passed max Q and is now just burning to pick up speed, thus the LES is jettisoned as it’s just deadweight “Tower Jet!”.
The crew now enters Abort Mode-II, even with the LES gone, they can still abort the mission by using the CSM SPS Engine to clear the rocket and then orient themselves for a re-entry and splashdown, thus why Lovell is once again eying up the Abort Handle after the centre engine failed.
The Centre Engine failed due to what is called “Pogo-Oscillation” whereby a partial vacuum in the fuel and oxidizer feed lines reached the engine firing chamber causing the engine to “skip”, and basically fire on and off.
This caused extremely damaging vibrations for the launch vehicle.
The cutoff necessitated the burning of the remaining four engines, which was fine.
What is interesting is that it potentially saved their lives.
The longer than anticipated launch meant that control changed some of their procedures and moved up the O2 Tank stir well ahead of schedule, during transit to the moon, instead of during it’s orbital phase of The Moon while the crew in the LEM was supposed to be on the Lunar Surface.
Had that happened instead, the crew would likely have perished, so in a way the “Unlucky Mission” was actually the lucky mission.
I tear up every time I watch the Saturn V leave the launch pad
The song gives me chills every time
Saturn V is a beast.
Still to this day one of the most powerful rockets ever created nothing even comes close even in today's engines 😊😊😊
@@danb2936 Uh SLS and Starship are more powerful and are in operation
I'll never forget seeing a Armstrong stepping on the moon on TV. I was just 4 years old at the time.
I was about 9. Remember when the first live shot was on TV, it was upside-down. They corrected it pretty quick!
I was lucky enough to see this movie when it debuted in theaters. I was seven years old. Needless to say, it made an impression!
I grew up during all the phases of putting men into space. I was 9 years old when Sputnik was launched. I didn't understand it and it scared the crap out of me. Was just going on watch in the Navy when Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. I was hoping it would have been one of the original Mercury astronauts. Every one of those guys had a huge set of stones to ride those rockets. The high point of them all was the return of Apollo 13. American ingenuity at its best. The shuttle program was a farcical example of what happens when bean counters try to be engineers. RIP to those explorers who suffered the consequences.
i love listening to the "we have liftoff!"
احببت الاعلان وانا متشوق لرؤية للفيلم كاملا والاستمتاع به ، رائع جدا
I just love it that the surgeon is the only one smoking a cigarette. All pilots especially the commercial type dread flight surgeons that hold power over a pilot’s ability to exercise the privileges of either his or her certificate. I had two flight surgeons who died of pancreatic cancer during my career.
“Looks like we just had our glitch for this mission”, in 57 years of life one lesson I learned is that you NEVER say anything like this.
Murphys Law in full effect ^^
Loved this scene I was watching this in my science class it was so cool and awesome I will always remember a lot of my friends were screaming this will always be 1 one my favorite movies
I'm old enough to have lived through the "successful failure" and young enough to remember how the world was glued to the attempt to save the astronauts. There's a whole troubleshooting philosophy called "the Apollo Method" that was developed based on what was needed to get them home.
Great is my favorit movie, i wach it hundreds of time congratulation
Von Braun designed a heck of a rocket.
The amount of work put into the engines, electrical connections, fuel tanks, sequencing, programs, this unified work is what makes this so impressive.
I love this scene...
It was a great time to be alive.
I was a kid at the time and it changed my life ...
This country has lost that kind of drive...
GO FOR IT!!
I like Braveheart and all but this film should have won everything at the Oscars that year.
هذا المشهد من الفيلم رائع للغاية مدهش 🔥🔥🤩
God, this is just perfection
I remember the scene later in the movie, when the Astronauts are in the LEM and Lovell (Hanks) is trying to warm up a sick Haise (Bill Paxton, RIP). Apparently upon seeing the movie, Jim Lovell said, "I didn't hug him THAT long!".
This movie is fascinating from beginning to end.
You know you're old when you can remember seeing this launch real time at the cape from the stands. I remember it all.
I was watching a documentary about this mission and it turns out that center engine shutdown saved the crew's lives. It was vibrating so badly (called pogo) that it would have ripped the whole rocket apart if it kept running much longer. The reason it shut down is the flight computer detected how violently the engine was vibrating and cut it off.
I love this movie.. it has a beautiful story and it is fun.. great actors and the production is on point.
At 3:32: That is a cool cameo. That's Jim Lovell the actual commander of Apoolo 13. He also appears later in the movie as the captain of the carrier welcoming the crew onboard.
That timestamp shows nobody else but the cast.
@@Ryan_Christopher Freeze it.
I'd never noticed this before and I've watched this film countless times. Cheers for this.
James Horner nailed it! His music score is amazing.
The look on the faces of the two wives says it all. Even for Marilyn Lovell her fourth launch it was still never racking.
R.I.P. and Godspeed Marilyn. Heaven has a new Angel.
So sorry I missed this sad event,. Theirs was one of, if not the longest space marriage. Sincere sympathy to Jim and their four children and grandchildren. RIP Marilyn😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
I don't know why people will say we never made it to the moon.
i know they say, all of this was from NASA/Gov
but it wasn't - we had armature Ham Radio that tracked each mission - saw the signals cut off on the 'dark side' - witnessed the telemetry that was sent by both craft, and scientific experiments left on the moon!
10s of thousands of separate I witnesses to the greatest achievement of men/women kind ever. I lived this era! When we walked THE MOON
I never get tired of this sequence, but the best part is the steely demeanor of Eugene Kranz as portrayed so well by Ed Harris.
Great movie. Even though you know the ending, it still captures the drama of the real event. I remember it well
Lesson learned
Never travel with Tom Hanks
One of the best scenes in movie history!
It's really amazing. Watch it and you won't regret it
My family and I drove to California in July 1969... You know , Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, Long Beach, Marineland, Beverly Hillbillies house.... The whole schmeer. My Birthday 🎂 is on July 15th... I turned 6
Armstrong stepped on the Moon on the 20th
My Dad had a Polaroid Land camera. He took photos of the tv of man walking on the moon
I still have them
What a Trip
I'll never forget
The best movie I have ever seen, very amazing
Space exploration at its finest!
Isn‘t it just incredible to see three people accelerating to the speed of a bullet? Even the design of the rocket is akin to a bullet. Hardly surprising.
You mean TEN TIMES the speed of a bullet?
And that was just to get into orbit. They were going 13-14 times faster than a bullet when the third stage had done its job and they were on their way to the Moon.
The excitement in this movie is super high
Прекрасное время для космонавтики! По-настоящему отважные и умные люди развивали её тогда. Я очень хочу верить в то, что это всё не предел и что однажды космонавты всех космических держав будут вместе работать не только на Луне, но и на других планетах Солнечной системы. У человечества действительно есть масса занятий, вместо войн и политических побоищ.
Russians always say nice, hopeful things like this, but then, they go right back to being Russians.
