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.
