Okay, could have been better
I ordered the Blu-Ray version of this video based on the positive reviews here on Amazon.Mixed bag. Some parts were interesting, others left me wanting to reach for the fast forward on my remote. Specifically:The Good -- Apollo 11 landing video was amazing, best I've ever seen. Surface operations video was excellent as well, some I'd never seen. DOES benefit from the higher resolution of Blu-Ray in places.The Bad -- WAY too much time and video of astronauts horsing around for the camera in route to the Moon and talking about their feelings and the "vastness of space". Like some type of encounter session or something. I want interviews with engineers, talk about mission planning, details on computing systems, science operations carried out on the lunar surface, etc. None of that was provided. Also -- portions of the NASA video had some sort of grainy, "artsy" effect added to it that served no purpose whatsoever and ruined those segments for me.Interesting video overall and somewhat worth the purchase but I wish I had looked around more.
