This film was great to view, and a lot of the archival video has seldom, if ever been seen. You really felt you were on the lunar surface with those American astronauts. However, this film had some problems; there was no narration to let the viewer know exactly which Apollo mission he was seeing at any particular time. Another problem is that the film jumps around the timeline. Sometime you're seeing Apollo 8 footage, sometimes it's Apollo 11, 17, 13 or some of the other missions, with almost no way to discern between them. It should have been edited in chronological order, to give the viewer a sense of watching history in the making. The dialog between Capcom in Houston and the men on the moon is entertaining at times, showing that these were men like everyone else, in extraordinary situations and exhibiting uncommon bravery. If you're a fan of the space program, or can remember those heady times, this film, despite its shortcomings, is certainly worth viewing.
