Apollo 13: Survival

The shocking and almost unbelievable story of Apollo 13, told through interviews and original footage.

I thought this was quite a compelling and original documentary. The story, as we all know is an incredible one, and credit to the production team, they've chosen to do it a little differently, through original footage and photos.

You don't get any cutaway interviews or expert opinions, it's all blended in to the remarkable, glossy footage, some of the shots are incredible.

The story never fails to amaze me, equally as much as The Challenger story, but in a very different way. It mixes in what was happening in America at the time, again through stock footage, it helps give you a sense of why this story was so important.

It makes you feel the stress, anxiety and genuine fear felt by all those involved, you certainly could rely on the journalists to add a dramatic slant on the situation, and they did, talk of Apollo limping around the moon must have sent fear into the whole public.

It made me want to watch the film.

8/10.
