Man, still love this scene. People who like to deny we've been to the moon always like to remark that we didn't have the tech to make it. They are right...they just didn't let that stop them.
Right on!
The 90s were the best time for films for my generation. This film is a masterclass example for filmmaking, editing, direction, music, writing, acting, effect (CGI PLUS PRACTICAL). Now what is left? I rewatch old movies instead of new ones.
The astronaut portrayed by Gary Sinise - TK 'Ken' Mattingly - died 10.31.23 age 87. He became the command module pilot (CMP) on Apollo 16 and commanded two space shuttle missions.
Having never contracted the measles.
Sad we also lost Frank Borman. These guys influenced my life and many others. Ironically, I was 13 the month they launched .
That Corvette Ride nice 😇
Bless him for his service to the people of the United States and the world for his dedication to space exploration for future generations of astronauts to learn from
RIP and Godspeed, Ken Mattingly. Thank you for extremely distinguished service.
The music makes the whole movie, a fantastic soundtrack.
I agree. I have the complete soundtrack, which I bought from Intrada.
I love james Horners work. And I can always tell when he did the score for a film even without looking it up. He loves to use the brass horns lol and a lot of certain cues just sound similar across movies like titanic, a perfect storm, amazing spiderman etc
Excuse me MR know it all.The movie IS A SOUNDTRACK!! that's the reason of compliling a soundtrack.Bozo. (Bozo = stupid)
I like the fact the Surgeon is a smoker. Only in the lates 60s and early 70s would you see this.
Oh man, tons of doctors smoke even in this, the year of our Lord, 2024.
I must have watched this sequence hundreds of times by now... It never gets old! 🚀❤ Ron should have got an Oscar for this masterpiece.
I thought he did. I know the movie got many awards
never gets old seing that chimney stack of a flight surgeon..oh and that beautiful Stingray at Canaveral!
Me too
Oscars for best visuals went too "Babe the pig" that year lol.
Oh, I agree you!
Am I the only one dropping tears lke crazy watching this?
Nope, me too!! When humans work together, we achieve the most mind blowing things!
@@resh.. so true!!!
@@resh.. I was *literally* under the Arianne 5 liquid booster today, and I just came back to see this because I felt awed. (Museum of Air and Space in Le Bourget Airport in France) Cried.
@@RiderRickMaker Wow!! That's amazing! My degree was actually in aerospace & astronautical engineering, and I remember studying ( albeit briefly ) the Ariane series of rockets - mainly 4 & 5... But I've never had the chance to be up close to any rockets / boosters. That must have been a hell of an experience! What was the sense of scale like??
Any Apollo launch still gives me goosebumps, and yes, a tear to the eye. Launching literally cathedrals of science and technology - what a fantastic program, fantastic people. Indeed an incredible achievement for all mankind. This movie is a true homage to all those fantastic men and women that made it all possible. Mankind benefits from it today, every day, in thousands of ways.
We were one of the first houses with a home theatre complete with an active subwoofer. I would play this scene on a laser disc THX sound system on an old 36 inch CRT... the whole house would shake and the dishes would rattle upstairs. It was fantastic!
niceeeeeee
Ah the 90s...
Love that Corvette. So beautiful.
My favorite part of the whole film...never ceases to make my heart hurry. Absolutely beautiful in all its elements!
God àlmighty what a launch sequence.
@@roberthenderson8961 Im not a man of faith but Amen, brother!
When you watch this film you realise the bravery of the astronauts, the professionalism of Mission Control and the brilliance of all the engineers and ground crew , all 400,000 of them . Proud that I’m an engineer as well and the Apollo missions inspired me to become an engineer 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍
The music is well done and really adds a lot of emotion to this
Ik it's one of the reasons why I love this scene so much!!
The music was composed by James Horner, he was killed during aircraft crash several years ago.
I had someone tell me that my enjoyment of the music in this scene made me a neo-triumphalist. I told him, "I am a PALEO-triumphalist, f--- you very much!" He had no idea how to respond to that 🤣😜🤪
@@yongzhang8364yeah it really sucks that he's not with us anymore. His music was always inspiring in any movie he did. Very underrated. Everyone says John Williams, sure, but his music all sounds so similar like he has a base template. But listen to different James Horner music and it's so varied but great.
I’ve listened to the soundtrack so much that I can tell what is happening in the movie at any one point in the soundtrack👍👍👍
This stuff makes me cry, because it actually happened and it was fucking spectacular.
Kennedy: "We're going to the moon...!" Rocket scientists: "Uhhh...we don't even know if we can accomplish that..." Kennedy: "Well, we need you to do it ANYWAY...oh, and do it in less than 9 years...!" And they nailed it on the FIRST TRY...
@@toAdmillerit might seems impossible to a dum dum like yourself . Also all necessary steps were tested from apollo 1 to apollo 10
There's no need for such vulgarity.

Kudos to the cast and crew for creating a film that not only entertains but also leaves a lasting impact. A true testament to the power of storytelling.
If I wanted an example of how to build tension in film using the music, this would be my example.
This movie was nominated for the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, but lost to Babe. The academy thought a talking pig was more visually impressive than this.
and that gentlemen is how we do that🤣🤣🤣
@@SaraMorgan-ym6uenice one
@@michealnyers184 Huston we are venting something into space I can see it out of window one now😲
My earliest memory at 4 years old was watching the liftoff. My mum was ironing my dads shirts, and she had yellow trousers and a blue top, and she said to me “look David, men are going to the moon!”. I’ll never forget that memory.
One of my first memory was going with my dad to the electronics shop and they have a wall of VHS cassettes with new movies. I can still see the red carpet and remember the smell of the shop when my dad picked out the Apollo 13 cassette. I was so excited to see this movie. And I cherish this moment forever.
Now with the Artemis program going on with NASA it was only fair to watch this one again to know where this all began just getting the biggest chills.
Where Ken parked his car to watch the launch that he ended up not being on, all by himself... Imagine yourself being able to go back in time and park that field to watch such an incredible historic event... amazing he was all alone!
And he said. Go.
He was atlas lifting her to the heaven whilst being left behind. Ĝreat moment. I felt it also.
I agree, but he was way too close to the launch site. In reality he would have been killed or knocked unconscious by the blast from the engines.
Exactly.@@johncook1997
@@johncook1997No he wasn't, but what I would give for that gold vet! Then again, it's a movie. And, the flowers weren't blooming as he stated later. Absolutely fabulous cast!
Love that movie, one of my favorites!!!!!! Ron Howard did a phenomenal job making it!!!!!! Seen it dozens of times. Great movie!!!!!!!!! Marilyn Lovell Jim Lovell's past away the other day aged 93 year's young. GOD BLESS HER!!!!!!!!!!
I didn't know she passed away. Sad to hear that. God Bless her. 🙏🏿
I'm very sorry to hear that sad news!!!
The launching gave me chills!
Same :)
Always. It’s so powerful and stirring. In the theater everyone kinda gasped and smiled/nodded. This and “Pulp Fiction” may be my two most memorable movie viewings, for hugely different reasons. But everyone around me was totally hooked/engrossed in both, responding accordingly.
This, and just before re-entry, when Jim Lovell tells Swigert and Haise "Gentlemen, it's been a privilege flying with you". He's saying that, knowing it could be one of the last sentence he will ever speak.
My love for rocketry, and space exploration come with this movie, and change me forever,best movie of the 90s decade 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Mine was Deep Impact (1998). The movie's spacecraft, Messiah, always amazed me.
@@IronMan-tk8uc oh yeah that space ship is amazing
Von Braun designed a heck of a rocket.
The amount of work put into the engines, electrical connections, fuel tanks, sequencing, programs, this unified work is what makes this so impressive.
I tear up every time I watch the Saturn V leave the launch pad
This is so realistic even Neil Armstrong said how do they get the launch footage
Ron Howard said that this launch sequence was the scene he was most proud of filming in his career. With good reason, because it's brilliant.
Ed Harris is so fucking good as Gene Krantz. This movie is a masterpiece. The music, the acting, the effects, just amazing stuff. I will say about the music, you can tell the same guy did the music for Titanic, the soundtracks are almost interchangeable, but that's not a bad thing. Horner is a legend
They definitely went to town on the names for it Tom, Kevin, Bill, Gary, Clint and Ed. Then the absolute master stroke was making Jim Lovell himself captain of the Iwo Jima
The look on the faces of the two wives says it all. Even for Marilyn Lovell her fourth launch it was still never racking.
R.I.P. and Godspeed Marilyn. Heaven has a new Angel.
So sorry I missed this sad event,. Theirs was one of, if not the longest space marriage. Sincere sympathy to Jim and their four children and grandchildren. RIP Marilyn😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
I don't always think about this movie, but when I do, it always feels like the best movie in the world. Still have never watched a better space movie.
I was a young man in England when this happened and I remember it well. I remember that for the first and last time, the whole world was at one in wishing a safe return for the astronauts. I've been to Florida and seen the Saturn 5, wow and double wow and I'm just having my monthly Apollo 13 lift off fix at the moment
I keep on watching and rewatching this scene. Still one of the best and most realistic space launch scenes ever made
One often unnoticed inaccuracy that Ron Howard could have fixed is that Gene Kranz said the average age of his mission controllers was 27 with many in their first jobs out of college, hardly anybody in their 30s. Gene himself was 36 during Apollo 11 and considered the OLD man, albeit the leader of the pack. It would have been great to portray the Apollo generation as it was in those days. Gene felt that this was an asset, because 20 year olds are to unaware to know what is impossible. I'd hate to think that Howard thought hiring 20 year old actors would have been unbelievable and as a result didn't do it, because that's how it actually was.
If there were to be anyone watching your back? I'd take Mr. Gene any day. That man didn't mess around.
Look at the faces of the engineers in The Martian or the real people working on these projects with Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos and the others “doing space” now- young and brilliant!
I still remember seeing this in the theater at 15 years old. Was amazing!
I’m 15 years old now

I loved space and science ever since I was as young as I can remember, and I saw this movie in theaters at age 13. It was the best movie experience I've ever had in my life.
James Horner was a genius, he is sorely missed.
I love this movie.. it has a beautiful story and it is fun.. great actors and the production is on point.
One of my favorite scenes on demonstrating my home cinema setup to friends 20 years ago. Nowadays, the special effects seem cheesy. But still, I love miniature effects, brilliant.
best historical space film!
Film name ???
@@rajibcreation7819 "Apollo 13" There are many documentaries about those heady days of NASA, right here on KZhead. I highly recommend you search them out. Imagine building a space program from scratch starting in the late 1950s.

Every time I see the scene where Tom's portrayal of Lovell saying "We have had our glitch for this mission" I think FAMOUS LAST WORDS!
The song gives me chills every time
Christopher Nolan was taking notes on the zero stock footage approach to filmmaking.
At 3:32: That is a cool cameo. That's Jim Lovell the actual commander of Apoolo 13. He also appears later in the movie as the captain of the carrier welcoming the crew onboard.
That timestamp shows nobody else but the cast.
@@Ryan_Christopher Freeze it.
I'd never noticed this before and I've watched this film countless times. Cheers for this.
Saturn V is a beast.
Still to this day one of the most powerful rockets ever created nothing even comes close even in today's engines 😊😊😊
An international director with creative actors...the result is a film that never gets boring...a beautiful and enjoyable watch...a film worth watching
The director Ron Howard, is American.
I love this scene more than any other in all movies, old and new!
This scene never gets old
I love how Gary Sinise cared about the safety of Tom Hanks and the others, he wanted things to go well for them even though he didn't get to go.
This scene still gives me goosebumps! Love it
JARED OWEN?! You’re here?!
Isn‘t it just incredible to see three people accelerating to the speed of a bullet? Even the design of the rocket is akin to a bullet. Hardly surprising.
You mean TEN TIMES the speed of a bullet? And that was just to get into orbit. They were going 13-14 times faster than a bullet when the third stage had done its job and they were on their way to the Moon.
3:32 The real Apollo 13 Commander Jim Lovell sitting in the far seat away from the camera. This was one of his cameos in the movie.
Are you sure.He looks pretty young
Very nostalgic film. This brings me back to my good old childhood days whenever I watch it. I remember watching this on repeat on HBO way back in the 90s. Powerhouse cast, fantastic musical score that hits the spot, and not to mention every single detail of this movie is a huge piece of history.
I'll never forget seeing a Armstrong stepping on the moon on TV. I was just 4 years old at the time.
I was about 9. Remember when the first live shot was on TV, it was upside-down. They corrected it pretty quick!
Everytime i start doordashing this plays out. Lol loved this movie
My 2 favorites are the launch and splash down.
Watched on big screen . Never gets old. Saturn Five . The most impressive flying machine ever. Americans should be proud of this achievement. Over Fifty years ago.
I saw this movie as a child. It was almost 30 years ago, but I remember it well. That wish did not come true, but at that time I was inspired to pursue a space-related career. Great film.
That Stingray though❤
You too ?
❤ The launch scene gave me goosebumps
and it always will
Like the Launch scene in Armageddon
فيلم جميل ، موسيقى روعة ، يستحق مشاهدة❤
This was made in the heyday of Space Shuttle, which was a NASA vehicle. Compared to modern ones, films of this era(even the notorious Armageddon) has unique "space cadence" to it that is now lost on recent movies like First Man.
There are some cinematic events you never forget watching. I'll never forget seeing this in the theatre. What an event.
Same for me.
Glory to the Astronauts and the Cosmonauts, our thanks forever for being the bravest and the craziest amongst us.
Still a great movie todayyy
i love listening to the "we have liftoff!"
Loved this scene I was watching this in my science class it was so cool and awesome I will always remember a lot of my friends were screaming this will always be 1 one my favorite movies
I'm old enough to have lived through the "successful failure" and young enough to remember how the world was glued to the attempt to save the astronauts. There's a whole troubleshooting philosophy called "the Apollo Method" that was developed based on what was needed to get them home.
Flawless movie
RIP, Ken Mattingly. They don't make em like you anymore...
Great is my favorit movie, i wach it hundreds of time congratulation
Always said that Ken Mattingly getting grounded is pretty much what saved Apollo 13. Also, Gary Sinese had a better head of hair than real life ken ;)
احببت الاعلان وانا متشوق لرؤية للفيلم كاملا والاستمتاع به ، رائع جدا
I love it. This fragment of move is an art master pice
My family and I drove to California in July 1969... You know , Disneyland, Universal Studios, Knott's Berry Farm, Long Beach, Marineland, Beverly Hillbillies house.... The whole schmeer. My Birthday 🎂 is on July 15th... I turned 6 Armstrong stepped on the Moon on the 20th My Dad had a Polaroid Land camera. He took photos of the tv of man walking on the moon I still have them What a Trip I'll never forget
I know there's a lot of dramatic and artistic license taken here, but they REALLY milk the last second of the launch! Between the end of the countdown and Lovell noting that the clock is ticking, I counted 27 seconds of screen time! LOL
God, that soundtrack...
هذا المشهد من الفيلم رائع للغاية مدهش 🔥🔥🤩
The excitement in this movie is super high
I love this movie.. It has a beautiful story
It makes me really sad to think the actual launch team witnessed it without this music.
They wouldn't have been able to hear it - all they'd be able to hear, or feel, would be the thundering of the rocket. And as wonderful as this music is, I don't think anything could compare to the experience of hearing and feeling such a colossal rocket launch in person, something I've never experienced personally but hope to someday.
@@quillmaurer6563 Launch in Florida, Mission control in Texas, Houston... They didn't hear the launch
@@wernervanpeppen4873 From what I recall there was the main mission control in Houston, and Launch Control in Florida, the latter quite close to the launch site, they certainly heard it. "Launch Control" handled the liftoff, and control was handed over to Mission Control in Houston once the rocket had cleared the launch tower - hence the "We have cleared the tower" radio call.
@@wernervanpeppen4873 He said launch team, the same guys as shown at 0:34, they could just look out their windows to see the launch.
I just love it that the surgeon is the only one smoking a cigarette. All pilots especially the commercial type dread flight surgeons that hold power over a pilot’s ability to exercise the privileges of either his or her certificate. I had two flight surgeons who died of pancreatic cancer during my career.
I love this movie it has a beautiful story
“Looks like we just had our glitch for this mission” - oh the irony
The best movie I have ever seen, very amazing
It's really amazing. Watch it and you won't regret it
Awesome launch scene of apollo 13
F1 engine on the Saturn V was truly magnificent!!
a wonderful film - I have watched it so often and always at house shaking volume ;)
absolutely- the only reason for having surround sound (that and for watching Band of Brothers!)
I love this scene... It was a great time to be alive. I was a kid at the time and it changed my life ... This country has lost that kind of drive... GO FOR IT!!
I like Braveheart and all but this film should have won everything at the Oscars that year.
WOW I LOVED THIS SCENE GROWING UP ❤❤❤❤
A very nice movie and worth watching. I enjoyed it
Mission Control in Houston did this famous roll call for Go/No Go. Launch Control at the Cape thought it was too showy, and felt that no one needed to be asked if it was a go/no go. It was presumed that it was a GO unless someone called a No Go.
Great movie!
انه فيلم رفيع المستوى احببت رواض الفضاء

The Artemis is certainly impressive, using modified engines from the Shuttle, but the Saturn V with its slow initial ascent, is still my favorite.

Looks good Flight, right down the middle.
This is a very beautiful movie
I liked this movie, and I advise everyone to watch it
A great piece of work !!
I remember the scene later in the movie, when the Astronauts are in the LEM and Lovell (Hanks) is trying to warm up a sick Haise (Bill Paxton, RIP). Apparently upon seeing the movie, Jim Lovell said, "I didn't hug him THAT long!".
