   I recently came across a series of youtube videos giving the full   
   mission.  Something I found very interesting is just how much longer the   
   emergency took in real life as opposed to the movie.  Excellent example   
   of a movie being very accurate, while still editing it down to the   
   interesting parts.

   It's amazing that they were able to make a gripping, tense movie when we   
   all know how it came out.  It also had some of the best CGI special   
   effects; I would never have guessed the launch sequence was CGI if I   
   hadn't been told.
