Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times These elder statesmen's recollections of their brief moments on the moon, as well as of what preceded and followed, make for vivid and emotional storytelling. Rated: 3.5/5 Jul 31, 2009 Full Review Sara Maria Vizcarrondo Boxoffice Magazine Meeting the men who inspired The Right Stuff is as affectionate as it is pedagogical, with just enough holy mole moments to feed the sense of awe that keeps these heroes impressive for reasons greater than the technological and physical accomplishme Rated: 3/5 Aug 14, 2009 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Even as a space race enthusiast I found this a bit long and drawn out. Some very candid moments from the Apollo moon walking astronauts and very little narration, which makes for a different documentary experience. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/24/23 Full Review Audience Member It seemed like this movie set out to disprove the landing by showing how crazy the astronauts are Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I didn't like the fact that some of the Apollo astronauts seem to have gone a bit bonkers in their later years, but it is actually quite a fascinating documentary. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member This inspiring and touching documentary reviews the missions and people of the US space program emphasizing the 12 men who walked on the moon in the Apollo missions. Numerous times throughout the film, I got goosebumps and hair stood straight as the music, images, and interviews combined into a deeply touching inner experience for me. I highly recommend this film to everyone as these people made history and shared their science, their time, and sometimes their lives--in a spectacular display of awe and wonder. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Moon docs are a dime a dozen and they have to distinguish themselves more than this boring and bland movie. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/04/23 Full Review Audience Member Fascinating history. Guys, you are amazing. Thank you! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Read all reviews
