What I liked: The intensity of the situation, getting to see not only what was happening on the rocket, but what was happening back at the space station and at the astronauts' homes. The movie is based off of a true story, so if you know what happens in the end, it might not be as exciting for you as it was for me (I didn't know what actually happened until the movie ended).
What I didn't like: The technology of the rocket and trying to fix everything on it could be very confusing at times. I didn't get all of the terms they used, and I felt like we were pausing the movie a lot to say, "What? Why is everything so cold? How is that going to help them?"
A little bonus fact for you, towards the end of the movie when Jim Lovell and the other two astronauts are strapped in the rocket, a cameraman is visible in the corner of the screen. Somehow nobody caught that until the movie was released!
I give this movie
. It was a great way to teach history and had you on the edge of your seat the whole time.

I found myself agreeing with just about everything in this review. I like how you laid it out with what you liked and didn't like. Nicely done.
Another great review! When I first saw the movie I wasn't familiar with the true events either, so I can totally identify with how you felt throughout it.
