Wordiezett So much average

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

TxMike My public library has the DVD of this film. I was able to see it on a 52-inch 1080P HDTV and played with an upconverting 1080P player. With that combination it is a remarkably clear and life-like presentation. Not quite IMAX, but very nice.By way of history, I was a pre-teen in the 1950s when Russia launched the Sputnik, and I remember watching the sky with my dad, searching for a view of it. So in my lifetime the first artificial satellite was put into orbit, the first men into space, and the first men to land and walk on the moon.For me this is a wonderful film. It in a way ties all that together, and using both actors and simulated moon landscapes combined with actual 1960s moon landing footage, gives us an up-close experience of what the moon landings must have been like.

mitchstevens I wish I had the time to express how much this movie moved me. So, please just take my word for it, the movie is very INSPIRING and well worth it! I think it is great for kids and adults alike and really gives you a sense of "awe", looking at this great accomplishment of mankind in 3D. In watching the movie, it made me realize just how much we often take this amazing feat for granite. I plan to take all my children to see this to help them gain a new perspective and respect for this achievement. I truly hope this movie with help inspire a new generation to achieve even more than the last, and to stand on our shoulders and reach even further. It is worth it… take the family, go see it and be proud!

ashleyphotostory This movie is a pretty decent IMAX flick. Tom Hanks makes for a great narrator. The content was very interesting and often quite funny. The music is on-par with major Hollywood films (although it got a little sappy at the end, but that's IMAX for you). It did a good job of discussing all the Apollo missions, and not just 11.I only found out afterwards how many famous voices were involved. I recognized Morgan Freeman, but that was it. This is a Good Thing. The film did not let the "talent" get in the way of the story. In other words, the star of the show was the history and information, and not the voice work.This movie did NOT need to be in 3D. More than half of it was archive footage, which obviously was not shot with a 3D camera. Often the footage was shrunk down to appear 3D against a generic background. The recreated lunar landing was the only part that took real advantage of the 3D cameras, but it was in no way necessary to be shot in 3D.That being said, it was a pleasant way to spend an hour. Make sure to sit in a red seat if you see it in the Lockheed-Martin theatre at the Air and Space Museum for optimum 3D viewing.

george-490 Can't wait for this to be released -- the latest 3D Space IMAX movie. We heard a sneak preview at the National Space Society conference in Washington DC, and it was awesome. Film is produced by Tom Hanks, and helmed by Mark Cowen. The idea is simple: recreate the authentic experience of the Apollo moon astronauts using the 3D IMAX format. They are pulling out all the stops to give the actual sensation of what the Apollo astronauts saw, heard and felt in their voyage to and on the Moon. Authentic imagery, digitally manipulated for the high res Imax experience. Plus sets which recreate the lunar environment down to the little boulders in the pictures. They've got lots of astronaut participation, which is promising. This is really where IMAX is unrivaled -- transporting audiences to an inaccessible place. Highly appropriate for it to come out now, when NASA is planning to start its new Moon program. Until lunar tourism is a reality, this sounds like our best bet. You are go for liftoff!
