BrianSez's Review

Summary - Very Good 3.5

Directed by Ron Howard. Shadow highlights the fascinating stories of the Apollo missions from the space men themselves. An amazing journey and story. I loved the way that the whole space program was almost a hack: try something, then fix bugs. Ironically, the height was during the 60’s when many of their buddies were flying in VietNam, they felt guilty for not being there. Of course their buddies would have none of that – they understood more than many how important the space program was for the psyche of the United States. This is a great first-person look at an amazing piece of American history.

Acting - Perfect 5.0

The men who went there were in awe of what they did, to this day – Jim Lovell, Edgar Mitchell, Mike Collins, Gene Cernan, Alan Bean, Buzz Aldrin, Neal Armstrong, and more…. these guys had cohones, but were as humble as pie about it all.

Film - Very Good 3.5

Not just about the story, this film highlights the players and their perspective. This should be required viewing for American school kids.

Edge - Tame 1.0

Reality - Natural 1.0
