Apollo 13 is a docudrama following the true events of the aborted Apollo 13 mission. I enjoyed this movie a lot. There were a lot of familiar faces, but as the movie was released in 1995, much younger. The movie was good! As a fan of space movies, this was a thrilling watch. It’s clear they used some CGI for the movie but they still kept alot of practical effect which I appreciated. The in-space scenes were done really well. The movie portrayed the coordianation between mission control and the astronauts very well. It also showed how many people make up mission control and how important each of their roles are. There was something missing about the movie, maybe a greater attachment to the characters? I’m not sure. Overall I enjoyed it and I would see myself going back and watching it again, so I’d give it a 4/5 and I’d keep it in my collection. The next movie is A Few Good Men.

What can I say about this movie, its been a long time since I’ve watched a proper childrens movie, grew up on the old Disney, Pixar and Dreamworks movies and I adore them. Children’s movies feel like just spin-offs and slop now. Of course there have been diamonds released but I hadn’t given them the chance yet. The last couple children’s movies I’ve seen have been Finding Dory in 2016, Incredibles 2 in 2018 and Sing last year. The Wild Robot rekindled my love for children’s movies. It elicited emotions me that I haven’t felt in a long time. I don’t think I’ve ever cried during a movie before and during this movie I cried 4 times. I got very attached to all the characters, the voice acting was great and the animation was beautiful. I am reinspired to try children’s movies again, I’ve been told to watch the Puss in Boots movie so thats going on the backlog. Anyway I’d call The Wild Robot a masterpiece, 5/5. Next week’s movie is Apollo 13.

I’ve always thought about how I use my phone. Back during the COVID years, I rooted my phone and de-googled it. I made my own server to host media and music. Now that I have more time to think, I’ve come to realize my ultimate goal has been to better my relationship with technology, especially my phone. I don’t enjoy that my life is behind a phone or computer. I don’t like that in any moment of boredom, I itch to grab my phone and soothe myself. With a lot more free time on my hands, I’m now making how I interact with technology a priority.
