Product: For All Mankind [VHS] (1989)
Rating: 2.0
Visually splendid but weakly informative
I absolutely concur with the gentleman who reviewed this DVD on Feb. 28. The footage is outstanding, and I have not seen a majority of it in any other documentary. However, I expected to see some unbelievable documentary about the Apollo program. Instead, the DVD shows what it looks like to go to the moon. This is done by taking various films of different missions and splicing them together though out of context/sequence. Again, this is beautifully done, but it does not tell you anything. This DVD is to be enjoyed if you have a good knowledge of the space program and want to watch some unseen or rare footage. But if you want to learn about the actual space and/or Apollo program, look for documentaries elsewhere. You won't find anything knew in this documentary other then the beautiful visual images.
