This movie has perfect actors and will put you on the edge of your seat as much as fascinate you. You will enjoy this movie very much, especially if you have either visited NASA and know everything about this mission, or you have no clue what's going on- I know I did! This is a must watch!

Are we going back to the 60s? Release the widescreen!!!

Can anyone confirm if this is the newly remastered version form the 2015 Blu-ray?

On Apple TV its 5.1HD WideScreen. On iTunes, its 5.1 HD FullScreen.Wake up or just hire someone like I.

The movie is great. That's a given. I felt the need to write this review to second the comment left by someone else. Despite what the Details says, the HD version is widescreen. Figured I'd buy it on sale and if it's fullscreen, I can just download it again when it finally goes wide, but the HD is widescreen, definitely.

Don't know about the SD version.

UPDATE: The HD version is definitely widescreen. (I'm not saying HD MEANS widescreen.) The iTunes Store on the Apple TV even says widescreen now, so if you have it downloaded and it's still fullscreen, delete the file and re-download. It was probably once fullscreen and they have since updated it. Or maybe it's a US thing.

UPDATE: Well, my file is 1080p 1920x816, so I guess I must be more special than some folks.

Other than a few lines of dialogue that were invented for dramatic purpose, Apollo 13 is almost a verbatim transcript of the ill-fated flight’s history -- and the courage of the remarkable people that turned disaster into triumph.

Excellent movie, and a cinematic tour-de-force! Technically correct in most regards and for the most part historically accurate, the movie has very few flaws and about the best special effects every done. Even the astronauts I know feel that it is an excellent movie.

iTunes is only offering this movie in fullscreen? Weird!

This is what I like to call: a 90's Masterpiece! The acting is phenomenal, the story is well told, and the visuals (especially for '95) were amazing! Even though I knew what happened in real life, I was still on the edge of my seat when I first saw this. This movie is an emotional experience you will not forget!

I've seen a lot of movies!...this is one of if not the best I've seen. Twenty years after it was made it's still one of my favorites....it has one of the most intense and moving scenes in movie history with the re entry...Ron Howard does it again!

This is my all time favorite Tom Hanks movie next to Forrest Gump and Castaway. But the score in this movie is also beyond measure. Wish Apple would release the soundtrack album on iTunes. James Horner's Apollo 13 would make an excellent addition to my collection of James Horner Albums.

This is a good movie. I felt emotions. It's so amazing how they lived through all those trials, and how smart they were. I would rate it PG-13 though because of language and peril. Still watch it though! 💛💛💛💛

Should be in every movie collection. The HD version IS in widescreen format.

I love this movie becuase I like NASA. And my favorite part is the ending. Because it's NASA's most favorite time. Apollo 12 has made it! This movie made me cry because I was so happy they made it home safely. It's a must see movie for kids who love space and NASA.

I like it

One of the best films ever - so great it's probably #3 on my list. PLEASE PUT THE SOUNDTRACK ON ITUNES

Apollo 13 is, by far, Ron Howard's greatest film. Not withstanding his two Oscar wins for 'A Beautiful Mind', this historic account of the tragic ill-fated mission to the moon stands the test of time and continues to be hailed by audiences, old and new, the world over. I believe that this film should be in the AFI top 100 films of all time. For me, this movie reminds me that we as a species have a responsibility to ensure our very survival. One question I always wonder about is: What will we do when our planet becomes unable to sustain the human race? This is why space exploration is arguably the most prudent venue into finding the answer to the survival of our species.

This movie is not NOT in wide screen that it is 2:35 1. Come on iTunes get the widescreen and I will guy it. Until then, no go.

Update: I see on my iPad store, that is shows in Widescreen. If anyone out there downloaded this, please put in commits if it is. thank you

I've never seen Tom Hanks like this before!! Another AMAZING film by Ron Howard :)

The scary part is that it is a true story.

Apollo 13 appals me with a dramatic storyline and keeps space missions real

This is by far the greatest movie of all time, if not, one of them. The storyline is amazing, the suspense, dramatic effects, the pathos that's used to lure you in and keep your eyes glued to the screen is unparalleled.

See that grey purchase button? Yeah, click that!

An absolutely fantastic movie that will get you to believe that anything is possible.

He's been nominated for Best Actor no less than five times (through the 83rd Academy Awards):

1988- Josh Baskin, "Big"

1993- Andrew Beckett, "Philadelphia" (won)

1994- Forrest Gump, "Forrest Gump" (won)

1998- Capt. John Miller, "Saving Private Ryan"

2000- Chuck Noland, "Castaway"

His role as Jim Lovell ranks right up here with these! Yes, even with Forrest Gump, the ABSOLUTE BEST movie I've ever seen!

Also, Gary Sinise does a great job in this movie (and in Forrest Gump as well)... he and Hanks deserve to have Bacon numbers of 1!

Overall, I highly, highly recommend this. It's a great and suspenseful story that saw Ron Howard develop every bit of its great potential.

Love this movie!!!!! Kevin Bacon all the way(:!!!!!

The movie is well directed. It maintains the uncertainty of how movie is gonna finish.

This is the awesomest movie, and it's educational (although I don't suggest it for people under the age of 7).

I'd give it 9999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999to the power of 8 stars, but I can't, coz there's only 5 stars maximum

The best true story ever! Pity it only won 2 oscars though.

Great film but iTunes won't let me buy it I doesn't have a buy button ?? Why.

But great movie makes me cry laugh and rejoice every time

The best movie I ever saw

This movie is the BEST MOVIE I HAVE EVER SEEN!! Its very historically accurate, and also has Jim Lovell (The character Tom Hanks plays in the movie!) SPOILER ALERT!!!! DONT READ ON IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THE MOVIE! But Jim Lovell plays the captain of the ship after splashdown.

This movie, much like "The Shawshank Redemption" is one of few movies that I find absolutely NO errors in whatsoever.

I've seen this movie close to a thousand times and I still cry at the end, when the crew announces that they've returned. The direction and editing team were amazing; that's how movies and climactic moments SHOULD be presented.

As far as the zero-G scenes are concerned, NASA gave them special permission to use their "vomit comet" to film.

When it comes to the theme of "recovering from a disaster", this movie should be part of their training to watch.

This movie is phenomenal. It has a great cast, great characters, and a great story. The fact it is a true story only adds the the experience, and if you know the outcome of the story, you have an idea of the ending and it's a bit of a safety net. NASA should be proud of how it is portrayed in the movie, and should hope for more films like this based on NASA Missions.

The story is very true and the acting is perfect, although there are some corny moments in my opinion that is mostly the music's fault. There are face shots with the annoying repetitive notes from the music that ruin the scene, but there aren't MANY scenes with this in it. Another scene that bothers me is when Lovell's youngest daughter starts crying at the retirement home. Horrible acting by the kid. But it's a minor scene and you soon forget it as the movie goes on.

I've seen it about 4 times now, all recently, and I can tell you that it never gets old. It starts at the perfect point in time in history and ends at the right time too. Although the voice-over by Tom Hanks in the end is a bit depressing and can bring down the mood you feel at that particular time, the movie is well put together.

Since it was made in 1995, it is obvious the special effects are dated. It seems like a video game at times when the shot is completely out of the spaceship's window, but most of the shots showing action regarding the ship itself in space is still believable. Overall an amazing story is told by an amazing movie with an amazing cast.

Easily a must see.

Very dramatic I almost cried at the end

I love this movie!!!!!!!

This movie has a great story plot from beginning to end!

It keeps you at the edge of your seat!

It's a fantastic movie, I love it!

BELIEVE***

oh My god i have nothing to say but GET THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

From the get go it has you hooked. By the end possibly in tears. This IS one of the best movies ever made, period.

Also this movie got winn an Oscar!!

Just the best movie ever made. Ever.

VERY GOOD SPACE MOVIE

saw it in science class and loved it so much they sore only to be acurate to what happened in space in that mission it is my fav movie after advent children

WOW

P.S. kiddo1995, they didn't get to land on the Moon. They would have died within minutes if they had attempted to.  That was Commander Lovell daydreaming.

Keep The Movie On Itunes Forever!

I bought it when it was on sale for $5, just because I could and I at least knew the movie. But WOAH, no matter how many times I watch it it never gets old. Every part is great. I don't know how they filmed the anti-gravity parts (which there are a lot of) but everything (including the music) is GREAT. Buy it.

I LOOOVVVEEE this movie! I get chills every time I watch it. The actors (Hanks, Sinise, Paxton and Bacon) perform flawlessly. You actually feel like you are living the whole experience right along with them. This is one of my favorite Tom Hanks movies ever. Ron Howard did an amazing job at bringing the story to the big screen. This movie had OSCAR written all over it, even though it didn't win. This movie ranks as one of my all-time faves. BUY IT U WILL NOT REGRET IT!!!

This movie is one of the best movies of all time 5 stars for sure and it's very very accurate to the real thing, I think that hanks and Harris did an amazing job

tom hanks rocks!

I loved this movie. it showed outer space and even how long it took these men to get to outer space. I thought that this movie was amazing! It must have took like forever to get to space! i liked the part were they landed on the moon! they are so lucky to go to the moon. awesome adventure movie.

Finally, Itunes realesed this. This is one of the if not the best movies of all time. BUY IT!!!!!

Yo, I seen this movie in school. Were learning about spaceits like on eof the greatest movies ever<3

I loved every moment of it. Andd if you didnt seeit yet idd buy it now to watch it or at less RENT it!

this movie is one of my all-time favs. in the movie it really shows the fear and the brotherhood/friendship in these men!!!

awesome, i've been waiting 1and a half years for this and it is only $10!

This is one of the greatest films of all time!! Tom Hanks, as usual, plays his part with perfection, as do the other actors (Gary Sinise.... swoon!!)!! Ron Howard stuck to the true Apollo 13 story exactly, making this one of the only historical films I can think of that portrays the event accurately.

BUY THIS FILM!!!!

We watched this at U.S. Space Camp, it's so accurate.

The real Jim Lovell is in the end too, actually, shaking their hands as they get to the boat (boat? I forget?)

And it's very interesting too. You don't have to be interested in space to love it either.

Apollo 13 is the best movie of all time. Even though all my friends do not find this kind of movie interesting, it is my most favorite movie of all time. The soundtrack is awesome and the movie it self will leave you inspired.

Apollo 13 is one of my favorite movies of all time, and Tom Hanks is by far my favorite actor. I wish there were more Tom Hanks movies on iTunes, though. Where are some of his other greats like Cast Away or Forrest Gump?

one of my favorite movies ever. Must buy for anyone interested in anything sapce related or anyone else. The first time I saw this movie i was 5 and I have watched it aleast 50 times.

Fatastic!!! A filmmaking and historic treasure.

This movie was filmed the right way! It is accurate, the acting is GREAT, & and the movie keeps you on the edge of your seat. Even if you know the story it will still keep you in suspense. I recommend this movie to anyone who has a love for space or the great accomplishments of our space agency.

Apollo 13 has a grea tstory made even better by the fact that it is true, on Itunes with dolby digital 5.1, on Apple TV. Who needs DVD's?

I freaking love this movie!!!

Incredible story with superb actors. The fact that it's all true makes it even better. Absolutely amazing.
