Trivia:
The Time Magazine 'Men of The Year' cover that Haise (Bill Paxton) and Mattingly (Gary Sinise) look at during the Apollo 11 party at the Jim Lovell's )house is a real magazine cover, famously celebrating the Apollo 8 missions orbiting of the moon. However, it has been edited, replacing the original caricature of Lovell, with one of Tom Hanks (Borman and Anders remain unchanged given that they don't appear in the film). more
Goofs:
Errors made by characters (possibly deliberate errors by the filmmakers): Near the end, when the astronauts are returning, at the Lovells' home the priest wears a wedding ring. more

Great Movie, 2 August 2004
9/10
Author: Bill Campbell from Williamsburg, VA

My first job as an engineering graduate in 1960 was with NASA. I was fortunate enough to have been a Project Engineer on the Apollo Program, and I am familiar with the technical aspects of the program. But this movie was not as much about the technical aspects of the program as it was about a thrilling, real-life drama that just happened to take place during a glorious time and a once-in-a-lifetime project. Despite all of the little technical errors, Ron Howard and his crew have put together a superb film, one that deserved the 9 Academy Award nominations which it received. I wish that present-day film-makers would concentrate on happy situations, like this one, instead of the constant barrage of drivel to which we, the movie-going public, are made subject. Long live NASA and long live courage!!
