The closest I have come to actually being on the Moon!

I have dreamed about space travel and going to the Moon for much of my life. This film is quite imaginative and exhilirating.

I took my kids to see the IMAX version- we all were stunned silent by the drama that unfolded. You can read about this story many times, but actually feeling it is different.

Disappointing

I saw this at an IMAX theater. I was hoping for real film of real astronauts. But it is almost all computer graphics which are not even all that good in a rather contrived 'docudrama' format. In addition the science is 'gradeschool' level stuff. You would be better off spending your money on 'Full Moon'. Its a book but the images are the real deal. May 8, 2008

Glad to see it available on DVD

I went to see this movie at the pink palace IMAX in memphis and it was fantastic, I remember commenting after the show how it would be great on dvd and worthy of purchase. It was educational and had some great humor as well. May 4, 2008

Great Movie

For all those who "believe" that man didn't go to the moon, see this movie and get educated. This is the best documentary on the moon missions that I have see and I really admire Tom Hanks and Mark Cowen for making this DVD possible. I also recommend "In the Shadow of the Moon". March 4, 2008

CGI Promo Film

Disappointing. I had hoped for actual photos and images from the Apollo missions, but found mostly computer generated images. The best real stuff, and the majority of it, is in the end credits. The bonus material is anemic. If you are looking for something to get pre-teens excited about going back to the moon, show them this. If you are someone that grew up in the early days of space travel, as I did, don't waste you time or money. February 25, 2008
