Apollo 13 Blu-ray Review

News not available

Commentaries by Ron Howard and Jim and Marilyn Lovell. The best supplement in my opinion are these two commentaries, both of which are intimate, personal and filled with exceptional detail.
Lost Moon: The Triumph of Apollo 13 (58:06) is an excellent documentary which as ood as it may seem does indeed highlight the unexpected success (after disaster) of the flight.
Conquering Space: The Moon and Beyond (48:26) is a generic look at the space race to the Moon. It's interesting, but it can't hold a candle to When We Left the Earth and other Blu's from last year. It is better than A&E's Moonshot.
Lucky 13: The Astronauts' Story (12:14) interviews the real life men who are portrayed in the film.
U Control, Universal's pop up feature, offers two interesting sidebars to the main feature, The Apollo Era, giving some socio-cultural context for what was going on back then in the world at large, and Tech-Splanations, which attempts to get us layman dummies to understand what the frell Harris and Sinise are screaming about.

Apollo 13 also comes equipped with BD Live functionality (with a brand spankin' new intermediary screen promoting "Social Blu," a sort of Facebook for Film Lovers), as well as Pocket Blu, for you Apple product lovers. D-Box Motion Control is also available.
