DVD Reviews of In the Shadow of the Moon
DVD Review: A feel good film for anyone with a brain
Summary: 5 Stars
A feel good film for anyone with a brain, this movie should be required viewing for anyone not old enough to remember. On no uncertain terms, it provides answers to the questions why did we go to the moon, and why Armstrong's "small step" was one of humankind's all time great achievements. This movie was a welcome respite from the daily deluge of bad news comming to us from around the world. For once I was able to walk away from a movie being truly proud of my species. I'm so glad that somebody thought to make this movie before time extinguishes all of the voices of those who were there.DVD Review: A must-see
Summary: 5 Stars
Poignant, bittersweet, touching, human, and endearing. If you grew up, like I did, watching the space program, then those are the emotions you will feel. I had images of these crew-cutted young explorers.....and now they are thoughtful, intelligent, and subtly-wistful.......old men.
But, it's not maudlin or heavy. It's a celebration. A reflection. And, Michael Collins just steals the show (and provides marvelous impish balance and relief) with his informed, direct, self-deprecating humor. It's a definite must-see.
DVD Review: Perfection
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually bought the soundtrack months before I even saw the film. Unfortunately I missed it in the theater. Now I'm waiting to repurchase this on Blu-Ray.
The Space Program of the 60s is one of the few things inspirational to me these days. The documentary essentially moves through a mission, from launch to the moon and splashdown, with commentary by the astronauts, and film from the missions. It's only missing Armstrong, but to get his POV, watch When We Left Earth. This documentary, and that series, make the perfect must-have for any space history buff. So much rare footage, and the wonderful soundtrack makes watching this an experience.
DVD Review: in the shadow of the moon
Summary: 5 Stars
since I am 61, I have followed the space program from the beginning. I was watching TV january 28 1986 when the terrible accident happened to the shuttle Challenger. I have always dreamed of going to the stars and someday maybe we will get there. Watching "in the Shadow of the Moon" helped me even appreciate more all the work and risks that have been taken to try to get us there. I think is a great testmont to that effort. Last year on Oct 1 2008 I was visiting my brother in Houston and we went to visit NASA. It was there 50th anniversay. I was so trilled to be there and take the level 9 tour. I would recommend it to anyone interested in the space program. DVD Review: Moon fan
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are old enough to remember the race to the moon, you'll love these poignant interviews with the original astronauts. If you are not old enough to remember the moon race, it is wonderful history.
Description of In the Shadow of the Moon
IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON is an intimate epic, which vividly communicates the daring and the danger, the pride and the passion, of this extraordinary era in American history. Between 1968 and 1972, the world watched in awe each time an American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon. Only 12 American men walked upon its surface and they remain the only human beings to have stood on another world. Now for the first, and very possibly the last, time, IN THE SHADOW OF THE MOON combines archival material from the original NASA film footage, much of it never before seen, with interviews with the surviving astronauts, including Jim Lovell (Apollo 8 and 13), Dave Scott (Apollo 9 and 15), John Young (Apollo 10 and 16), Gene Cernan (Apollo 10 and 17), Mike Collins (Apollo 11), Buzz Aldrin (Apollo 11), Alan Bean (Apollo 12), Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14), Charlie Duke (Apollo 16) and Harrison Schmitt (Apollo 17). The astronauts emerge as eloquent, witty, emotional and very human.General DVDs
