Apollo 13

I thought Apollo 13 was a good movie. From start to finish I was very interested, although towards the end I felt it began to drag out. I liked how Tom Hanks played the very experienced, responsible astronaut. I always trusted his character. I also liked the way "Houston" tried so hard to bring the Astronauts back, once they were in a crisis. It gave me feelings of great pride in this country. I also thought it was interesting to see how Nasa works, as well as how the government works with it. I don't like that Nasa funding has been cut, so it's pretty disappointing to see that film and realize how much potential we are wasting. I think Space is awesome. I've always said I want to go to outer space at some point, and extra terrestrial life fascinates me, so watching this movie was pretty cool. If I could attach a theme to this film, I would say it would be to never give up. If the Astronauts had given up, they surely wouldn't have been able to survive, and if the people working at Nasa had given up, there is no way they would've been able to get back to Earth.
