Apollo 13

The first movie that I watched in my series of movies directed by Ron Howard was "Apollo 13". So far I like Ron Howard's style in film making. He does a really good job in making the movie really suspenseful and he does a good job at useing "flashforwards" of dreams to make you wonder if that incident will really happen, which draws the viewer in even further. Jim Lovells wife has a dream about Jim and company's rocket loosing oxygen which starts making glass shatter and everything just go downhill from there. The dream occured later on in the movie, when all the oxygen leaks outside of the rocket but the team manages to get through it. Ron puts little details in the film of like Jim peeing in this tube-like thing and it just makes you wonder how/where they poop. Anyways, I saw this movie a long time ago but seeing it twice makes you appreciate it more. Ron Howard does a really good job at making the movie suspenseful by adding in scary music or just little sounds that are "a joke" by the other people on the rocket. It always keeps you on the edge of your seat. In all, I really liked the movie and I'm excited to watch two of his other movies!
