Apollo 11

A great update of the footage of the trip to the moon.

Very good movie. There is no drama, there are no personal problems. It only focuses on the development and completion of the mission. 95% of the images are unpublished and not seen before in documentaries.

This documentary/film is not for everyone. I love space and I found this a bit tiresome at times. It's very interesting as someone who didn't know much about the Apollo 11 mission. This is more of a history class kinda movie than a must watch

Apollo 11 is an amazing documentary with incredible remastered and never seen before footage by NASA, that will leave you with a fresh and breathtaking impression of the Apollo 11 mission.

The best documentary movie ever made!

great represtation of the well-known story of the first man on the moon. Also the acting is great. Absolute recommend!

A brilliant achievement, presenting this original footage of the moon landings with all original audio and no adornment or commentary. I have no scientific or technical knowledge at all but found this completely accessible, hypnotic and gripping. Some of the footage is truly remarkable, and there are some small revelations - like that Armstrong's heart rate at the point of touchdown on the moon was 156 - that give the most human of light and shade to a story that is so out of reach to all of us. To those of us, like me, not alive when this happened, this is a thrilling watch.

I agree with the New Yorker review. Amazing footage, but the lack of narration and contextualization made it kind of boring and hard to get through.

Incredibly well done doc. As if we were sitting on the front row seat to the moon.

A masterpiece documenting mankind's greatest achievement: masterfully edited, splicing together well-known and newly discovered archival footage, the beautifully restored film makes much of this documentary appear as if it was filmed 5 years ago, not 50. Absent commentary, aside from minimal additions from Walter Cronkite's coverage that adds just a sprinkle of necessary context, the story is driven by the tense moments inherent in such a monumental mission; the take-off, transfer to the lunar modual, the landing, and the splashdown. Despite knowing the outcome ("No way...that's great! We landed on the moon!"), the superb editing injected natural tension and suspense for nearly the entire 93 minutes. You can feel the enormity of the mission at hand on the faces of Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins as they suit up prior to launch. One of the greatest Oscar snubs of recent memory for not taking Best Documentary.
