This was about a moon mission, not a toga party

Rating: 7/10 (30 October 2018)

I've scanned over many of the reviews written here in the imdb, and find it
hard to understand some of the criticism. Page after page re: camera shaking, and the seriousness of the crew. First of all, with regard to the seriousness, these people were flying to, landing on, walking on, and returning from the moon for the first time in global history. Not the time to be bouncing off the walls with excitement and joy of a teenage girl at a slumber party. This was serious business, which might have caused these astronauts their lives. Additionally, the makers of the film weren't interested in making a movie with lots of modern style computer animation and sound effects. An attempt was made to make the picture using methods that might have been utilized back THEN. And they did just exactly that. The film was very consistent with the way it would have been portrayed in those days. Furthermore, since events in those days didn't rely heavily on politically correct ideals, I'm sure many of the reviewers didn't care for the portrayal of so many white, male, heterosexual gentiles in the picture; people who in those times tended to be stoic. Sorry folks, but that's the way things were in those days. We can't always be trendy, stylish, hip, cool, or chic in making these films. Gotta stick to the way things really were at the time.
