Buy this movie, it's the closest you'll get to going to the moon!
The movie itself is amazing. It combines the beginning of all the Apollo missions, then the middle, then the actual moon landings, then the journey home, which essentially makes you feel like you're watching one big moon mission. The movie is beautifully and artistically put together. There is an option to turn on labels for when it shows the different missions and people, which is helpful if you want to know who's talking.The special feature of the Astronaut talking about his moon paintings and then the subsequent 37 minute segment of his paintings with artist commentary combine with the movie to make this Blu-ray absolutely worth owning. The movie is great, but combined with this section about the moon paintings, it is out of this world! (Heh).The artist astronaut returns home from the moon and continues painting what he's always painted until a friend confronts him. He tells him that he is the only artist EVER to go to the moon and he should paint that. The paintings are well done and beautiful to look at. The artist used actual tools from the moon to add texture to the paintings. I could go on... buy this movie, you won't regret it. You'll never look up at the moon in the sky the same way again.
