It is also interesting to watch the entire movie with audio commentary from Jim Lovell and his wife! He tells all along what was done quite correctly and what was different in reality. As the Apollo instrument panel guru, one thing I especially noticed: in at least one shot they put the left hand side panels within the Crew Module together wrongly. And one thing I guess almost everybody here noticed without to hear or to read it: Jim Lovell plays the captain of the Ship in the final scene, when he welcomes the crew onboard after recovery. I guess I've seen the movie about 30 times since 1995, which includes at least 5 times with audio commentary from Lovell and his wife. But these days I love "In the Shadow of the Moon" and "When we left Earth" much more (also seen countless times meanwhile).
As for the vomet comet: no need fo feel sorry, at leat not for the actors. Especially Kevin Bacon really loved to float around. In interviews back then he was just as excited as a kid talking about rollercoaster rides. Also Tom Hanks and Bill Paxton loved it. But as far as I know, some of the film crew members indeed didn't like it in the beginning. It was reported that the cameraman lost his stomach contents once :lol: I have a nice making-of somewhere on an old VHS cassette.
By the way, it was a nice idea to invite Jim Lovell to Tom Hanks life achievement award:
