This was better than expected. Could have gone sideways in so many fashions but resists at every turn to become soapish or maudlin or fall into action flick tropes but it does not. In Ron Howard's able hands this amazing true story comes alive with intrigue and emotion. And clocking in at 2 1/2 hours, for me it did not feel overlong or slow.

Overall is good, nice pace,but I think missed the experience how the kids lived in the terrifying environment( in the cave).otherwise is good! Acting is great!

I watched the documentary the Rescue several months ago. I already knew a lot of the story and the amazing people involved. Perhaps, if I saw 13 for the first time I might have given it an 8 or 9. But there is nothing compared to the actual people giving their own account of the rescue in their own words. Footage of every aspect of the rescue. The real faces and voices of the boys and their coach. This movie pays a nice tribute to that spectacular feat of humanity all joining to save these unlucky souls. But I feel it was a day late and a dollar short when comparing to the documentaries.

One thing is certain, Ron Howard certainly knows how to make this kind of film, and this is his best in a while and maybe his best ever. Brilliantly made and well paced, capturing all if the emotion and tension of an incredible rescue and international effort. I have previously watched the (also) excellent Nat Geo documentary and this film mirrors that well and adds no typical Hollywood drama to it at all. Truly excellent viewing.

Living in Thailand I did follow the story of this amazing rescue from just a few 100 miles away. Still this movie glued me to my seat for the whole runtime, making me feel for everyone involved. Clearly one of the best movies I've seen all year, probably the best true story rescue movie I ever seen. A must watch. .

I followed this Real story as it unfolded live on telly. I used to not sleep so that I know those kids will be alright somewhere. Watching this 2.5 hrs movie, made me go back to June 2018 of Tham Luang cave rescue. This movie is a masterclass, it's emotional, it's about courage and rescue. Don't miss this gem. Actors been brilliant so are the kids. Thank you for this movie.
