Title: Succeeds in intent & we sent the right folks up there
Review: This beautiful looking and beatifully sounding film achieves its intent of capturing the feeling of the space flights of the 1960's. It was not meant to be a supplier of trivial information concerning pounds of thrust or specifications of spacecraft. This movie starts you out at at pre-launch, taking you through an amazing launch sequence, into orbit, off to the moon, around the moon and on it and then back to earth.Other than the visuals and the amazing Brien Eno soundtrack, what I like most are the commentaries by the astronauts. Listening to them, you understand that they realized the magnificence and importance of their journey. Whether NASA or the US government were flying people to the moon for Cold War sabre-rattling or not, the astronauts truly thought of their mission as one "for all mankind."
