Notes
WSR Narrative Review
Story Synopsis:
Based on the book “Lost Moon” by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger, Apollo 13 is an astonishing space epic that celebrates the triumph of the human spirit. This is the true story of a routine space flight gone wrong in 1970. Three astronauts-Jim Lovell (Hanks), Fred Haise (Paxton) and Jack Sweigert (Bacon)-face a desperate fight for their lives when an oxygen tank explodes over 200,000 miles from Earth. While they labor frantically in the space capsule, the NASA Mission Control Center ground crew races against the odds to get these brave men back safely.
DVD Picture:
The anamorphically enhanced DVD, framed at 2.35:1, anamorphic and letterbox, delivers superior imagery in all aspects. Color fidelity is naturally rendered with deep, solid blacks, natural fleshtones and rich colors. Images are sharp and detailed with exemplary vertical and horizontal resolution. The picture is solid with no noise or artifacts.
Soundtrack:
Interestingly, you must actually select the DTS® Digital Surround soundtrack, because the Dolby® Digital (2.0) soundtrack is pre-selected. The DVD’s discrete 5.1 DTS soundtrack sounds very open, with extended high frequencies and deep, powerful .1 LFE enhancement. Effects are directionalized with delicate inner detail resolution. The music score is well defined and expansive with excellent soundstage imaging.
