Go for the moon
Apparently there are some historical inaccuracies in this movie. But I think if you take this DVD as more of a visual representation of the experience of exploring space and the moon then it is very good. It was very different from what I expected. having been a fan of the Eno record for almost 20 years, I expected it to be more contemplative. It starts out with JFK declaring that we are going to the moon and then proceeds to follow all the seps from preparation of the astronauts to the voyage and finally to langing on the moon and finally return to Earth. There are constant comments by the astronauts regarding space travel and their conversations with the control center. This I agree gives sometimes the false impression that we are watching a documentary. Brian Eno's music is discreetly in the background, more discreetly than I thought actually which is slightly disappointing.
