Apollo 13: The Super 8 Cut

A 17 minute version of Apollo 13? The only reason I watched it was because the link was right there, no download. I expected I would stop it a minute or two in - but I was soon beguiled by this experiment. Two hours cut from a movie but it was somehow seamless, and a cohesive, complete story was maintained. I was so bummed for Lovell when he was looking out at the moon, it was crushing. For me, the picky movie guy, an "8" for enjoyment is pretty darn high.

Here's the real testament to this edit - immediately following the fade to black I browsed the internet for stock footage of the moon missions!

Can’t really say much that hasn't already been said. This edit was top-notch.

A/V Quality – 10/10 – It’s supposed to look like junk, so no comment, except that you did a fabulous job making it look that way.

Editing – 10/10 – You totally nailed it. That is all.

Narrative – 10/10 – You just captured everything that was so great about the original and compacted it into one reel. This truly could not be better.

Enjoyment – 10/10 – The experience of watching it is like fast-forwarding through the emotions of the movie. Maybe that just sounds dumb, I don’t know. But either way, spectacular job.

Overall – 10/10

Thoroughly enjoyed this version of Apollo 13. It made me feel like I was 5 years old again, watching a movie in my basement on my dads old 16mm.

Fantastic job Rogue! I loved it. 9/10!

A very well-done abridged version of the Apollo 13 movie, especially in the technical sense with the super-8 visuals. I have my minor quibbles about the narrative, but it doesn't ruin my overall enjoyment of the edit, and I'd recommend it to anyone who enjoys the history of space exploration.
