Somehow, it doesn’t look like something that happened 50 years ago – but rather an extraordinarily detailed futurist fantasy of what might happen in the years to come, if we could only evolve to some higher degree of verve and hope.

Apollo 11 is ultimately the finest look back to the anniversary of this historic event you’ll see this year.

Es una verdadera y hermosa experiencia visual, me encantan todos esos largometrajes y documentales que tienen que ver con el espacio siendo este el mejor que he visto, incluso aplasta por completo a la película First Man sin discusión.

“Houston. Tranquility Base here, the Eagle had landed.”Apollo 11 is a great film that shows viewers the Moon Landing of 1969 like no other movie before. It has great background information and it shows the crew pretty accurately. Apollo 11 has the original videos of 1969, and by having these makes the film historically accurate. Apollo 11 is a historical film that I would recommend to anyone.

An invigorating and inspiring viewing experience. The mission was indeed a giant leap for mankind, and now we have a documentary worthy of its subject.

One of the unexpected but welcome things Apollo 11 accomplishes is restoring a sense of how insanely complex the lunar mission was, and how audacious.

Apollo 11 isn’t a film about the facts and stats of the mission to reach the moon. Instead, it’s about how it feels to be in space and on the ground as history is made. Stunning, stirring stuff.

It’s a celebratory movie designed to rekindle awe and admiration for the accomplishments of the NASA astronauts and ground scientists, as well as a reminder of the endless realms of possibility that can be achievable when a country and its politicians work in unison toward a shared goal.

With extraordinary material, a merely ordinary approach is worse than a bore; it’s a betrayal.

The visuals and cinamatography are outstanding and so is editing. A very good example of how to make a great, tense documentary.

This documentary was a blast to watch and I thoroughly enjoyed watching the events that ran up and made one of the most memorable and historic moments in the world. 9.9/10 (but 10/10 for rounding's sake)

This film is absolutely incredible. The footage is gorgeous and at times looks like it could have been shot in modern times because the quality is so good, and despite this being a documentary it has no narration and instead relies on telling the story itself, and it vastly exceeds expectations in that department. This is a must watch.

Produced more audible Wow!'s and Whoa!'s from the audience than any movie I've ever seen in theaters -- and got a standing ovation. No superimposed narrative, raw human action.

I ve found it boring, because you know the outcome and some details. I dont know the sense of showing some conversations with a lot of abbreviation also. Sometimes I missed some explanations, although there are some. The restoration of the pictures is incredible. In the beginning I was thinking they just produced the scenes nowadays and put some filter on xD.
