Review:
This is the true story of the American space shuttle's disaster back in 1969. The plot is rather simple.
A group of astronauts set off to go on the moon but unfortunately something goes wrong "Houston we have a problem" and they
don't manage to land on the moon. The crew almost die but NASA have a plan which means using itema available on the shuttle. They
survive and land safely.
Unlike most real-life based films like Titanic, this movie has kept strictly to the facts instead of adding extra storylines.
I found it at a bit slow at times due to it being science fact and science fiction but it was livened up by the Oscar winning Tom Hanks.
