Perhaps one of my favourite examples of competency porn. Still holds up incredibly well after 30 years. A little bittersweet to be watching a few months after Jim Lovell passed (thanks, brain, for remembering that little fact half way through the film.)
Great performances all round, good pacing, and a score that helps the mood in all the right places without getting in the way.
