Second most accurate movie about the Navy, after Hot Shots!

Wait a second, movie? I thought that was a documentary.
There is a new Apollo 13 documentary on Netflix. It's pretty good. A lot of footage and interviews from the archives that did not make it to prime time. Apparently Marilyn Lovell wasn't the excited and happy astronaut wife that NASA wanted her to be.
It's definitely worth the watch

Is it a documentary, or a documentary with dramatic recreations? Some of the shots in that trailer have me wondering.
Reenactments have always been a pet-peeve of mine, but I get that's a personal problem.
Best Apollo 13 doc I have seen yet.
It’s a doc. I didn’t notice any recreations (yeah I don’t like those either, unless they’re *really* good) though there’s a blurb at the beginning that some of the space footage is from other missions.
It reminded me a lot of the Apollo 11 IMAX doc from a few years ago in tone and style, though with a lot more conventional doc voice-overs from the real folks. I was interested how much dialogue from the Hanks/Howard movie was actually taken more or less verbatim from the mission transcripts (you see Gene Kranz telling his team, “Let’s work the problem, don’t make things worse by guessing.”
The Day of the Jackal on Peacock is really good.
Eddie Redmayne is a good actor and he definitely fits in for this kind of role. He has some range as just completed his West End and Broadway run as Emcee in Cabaret. I think Adam Lambert's Emcee is better, but this isn't a Broadway recommendation thread.

I've always thought that if it had happened to the Russians, that they'd have just had them do a sustained burn and sent them straight into the Sun. Then erase all trace of it from history.
I wasn't sure where to put this... I'm not a zombie connoisseur, but I appreciated the first two movies. However, what's making me post this is the "sound track" of the trailer. Maybe it's because I was up most of the night at work last night that the "sound track" made as much of an impact this morning, although not quite as annoying now as it was in 2002 when I first had to listen to it. Over. And over. And over.........
Rudyard Kipling is hard to beat. The amazing part, this poem was written 10 years before WWI, in response to the Boer War in Africa. What you posted is probably the nest reading I have ever heard.
...My God. It's been a hot minute since SERE, but I still needed to take a moment after watching that.
Movie might be good, but I'll need to follow it with something lighthearted. Teletubbies scare the shit out of me.
That's the same reading/recording that is (or at least was) used on the west coast. I think the low-bandwidth, recorded-on-a-phonograph-cylinder sound is part of what really digs into the brain (along with the performance, of course).
Visions of my 24 year old self shivering in that stupid cinder block dog house lol.
Okay where the fuck was the Trigger Warning for any SERE Grads for that one. Sheesh...
