    Simply incredible and inspiring! To see real footage and listen to real audio from one of the most inspiring events in history is a privilege and a blessing. The film tastefully selects the proper archival footage and audio and takes a minimally necessary approach to illustrating the various steps required to complete the mission. The focus is definitely kept to the actual footage. I teared up multiple times with this one as a result of the beauty, bravery, and sheer collaborative effort of brilliant minds that made Apollo 11 possible

    This is the greatest documentary of all time. Absolutely beautiful footage, can’t believe the film was locked up in archives all these years. I’ve lost count how many times I’ve rewatched this.

    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 It only focuses on the development and completion of the mission. 95% of the images are unpublished and not seen before in documentaries.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

    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.
