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 It only focuses on the development and completion of the mission. 95% of the images are unpublished and not seen before in documentaries.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

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

As a testament to the wonders of science and space, it's extraordinary; as a testament to the triumph of cinema and mankind, it's more a small step than a giant leap.

Sydney Morning Herald

It's a film that makes history seem freshly minted -- a unique work of restoration made possible by the discovery of a cache of previously unreleased audio recordings and large-format footage.

Rated: 4/5

Apollo 11 is something astonishing to see in cinema. Every shot brims with beauty in the capturing of a decade, and the editing is what makes the film.

Rated: B+

KSQD Community Radio

Apollo 11 also serves as an important historical document not only of events and technology, but, sadly, gender and racial disparities of the time.

Fiction Machine

All in all, Apollo 11 lasted about eight days from launch to splashdown, and Miller condenses that down to the most interesting 93 minutes. The footage presented on screen is stirring and emotive.

Rated: 8/10
