A Stunningly Beautiful Film, Capturing a Magnificent Achievement
The filmmaker delved through the vast NASA Apollo archive, selected the best footage (with some Gemini materials), restored the films, and created a beautiful work of art. What you will see in this film FAR exceeds what NASA or TV sources have ever shown, both in terms of the visual beauty of the material and the commentaries from the Apollo astronauts. For those who care passionately about the technical majesty and visual beauty of the lunar achievement, you will not be disappointed.The filmmaker considered whether to create a straight-up documentary of a given mission or a synoptic summary of the entire Apollo program. He wisely chose the latter. BTW...To get an equally excellent perspective of the Apollo program, told more from the perspective of the astronauts, also watch the outstandingIn the Shadow of the Moon [Blu-ray] documentary.
