Apollo 13

"Apollo 13" is adapted from real events, and it is a "documentary" style. It basically restores the process of the events at that time to the greatest extent. It is also because the degree of restoration is too high, which brings a little difficulty to my viewing. I understand that it takes a while for the related professional abbreviations, although in the end I still have a lot of things that I don’t understand. Although the film is in a "documentary" style, the first half of the film is slightly flat, but the script is excellent, and the performances of the actors also filled the tense return journey full of tension. When the three of them return home safely, even if you know the answer long ago, Can't help but cheer for them.

    [Shanghai Film Festival Screening] Finally watched the 4K version on the giant screen. The effect is great. The adaptation of real events, coupled with the real weightlessness effect created by NASA's training flight aircraft, is very good. Although the whole film is full of aerospace terminology, it also greatly increases the sense of reality. In fact, the twists and turns of the event itself are enough to be exciting, disturbing, tense, and moving. The addition of dramatic bridges and American theme rendering colors is superfluous.

    Although I encountered a translated film again, the sound and the picture were misplaced in the end, and I fell asleep halfway through it, but it still doesn't affect the fact that it is a good film. The scene of the final successful return is still as moving as the perfect ending of all science fiction films (though it is not).

Apollo 13 quotes

  • Gene Kranz: Now, if Jack can't get that guidance computer data transferred before they go dead in there...

    Glynn Lunney: They won't even know which way they're pointed.

    Gene Kranz: That's right.

    Glynn Lunney: That's a bad way to fly.

  • INCO White: Gene, I-I'm wondering what the... what the Grumman guys think about this.

    Grumman Rep: We can't make any guarantees. We designed the LEM to land on the moon, not fire the engine out there for course corrections.

    Gene Kranz: Well, unfortunately, we're not landing on the moon, are we?
