User Reviews
Average user review:
(18 reviews) Great movie, but the HD is not as impressive as some.I bought this disc knowing that it would make a good impression in my home theater on HD. While it does not disappoint, I have seen other HD material that is superior. April 23, 2008
Apollo 13
Excellent effects, especially during Saturn V launch sequence. Commentary by Astronaut James Lovell provides a good historical perspective. April 6, 2008
HD-DVD Apollo 13-the version to own
If you don't own an HD-DVD player stop now. Yes the format is dead-and NO I am not sorry one whit I bought one. That aside, this movie is reviewed in detail elsewhere, so I'm just dealing with the HD-DVD version and how it stacks up against the other formats. I've owned the regular DVD and the laserdisc version of this movie- and this one is SOOO much better. Crystal clear picture with remarkable detail. The space sequences are breathtaking in beauty. The launch sequence is a great demo- though not as aggressive on the subwoofer as I'd expected or hoped for. Well worth the bargain price now that the format war is over. As an aside- if you need a new dvd player consider an HD-DVD player. They're on sale and GREAT upconverters for regular DVD's- and as a bonus, play true HD-DVD movies. I expect getting years of enjoyment from mine. March 21, 2008
Ok
Not a must see movie, an interesting story, reasonable audio and video, but you might drift off to sleep if you are tired when you watch this one. March 15, 2008
Good but not great
HD DVD version is cool but wouldn't say is necessary...dunno about the special features, havn't watched them yet. February 29, 2008
