Visually stunning, and provides profound insight.

I had already seen a lot of this footage, so I definitely wasn't blown away from end to end. There are a few nice candid moments and a couple spectacular shots I hadn't seen yet, though.

Brilliantly brings the scientific triumph into human terms, so we can *feel* the majesty of the accomplishment.

I still cant believe we went from that stupid Wright brother's plane to rocket ships to the moon in the span of 50 years. :O

"If not the screen's ultimate portrait of space travel, For All Mankind remains a peerless planetarium show." - Fernando F. Croce

Fascinating documentary with some beautiful images. The lack of narration and info dumping makes this a warm, relaxing experience.

Sheer beauty.

This was a surprise! I held off on watching because I've seen a boatload of space documentaries, but this was almost like the Herzog take, eschewing the retelling and going straight for the impact on the human mind. The sort of perspective that this experience gives these few men speaks as loudly as the footage. You'll finish it wondering if there's anything you want more than to touch your boot to that surface.

The footage on its own would have been thoroughly memorable, but as a nice bonus there's a compelling narrative, rather lovely voiceovers about the profound experience that is space travel, and a great score by Brian Eno. There's no way a human being cannot be in awe of the accomplishment; space may one day be the status quo, but for now it remains the coolest thing.

I can't really call this a great film, though it is a very good one, but it is a great awe inspiring experience. While some parts were a bit dull this was more than made up for by the footage from space and the abolutely unique perspective that gives.

Jumbled and confusing in regards to chronology, but still a very good experiment with unnarrated documentary.

I've never imagined a documentary presented in such a surreal way. But in presenting the moon missions, this mishmash of NASA film footage is just perfect. It tells the story of mankind's greatest achievement without even identifying the participants.

Spectacular images of the Gemini and Apollo space programs.

Masterfully put together, nothing but awe-inspiring images throughout with sparse but effective commentary. I only wish it was longer.

Reinert doesn't burden the viewer with facts about the Apollo program; there's no focus on who did what, or when they did it, or how anything worked, or what the specific challenges were (the Apollo 13 mishap is given about a minute of screen time). Instead he focuses on the emotional reactions and philosophical musings of those who made the journey. It's beautiful and inspirational and fires the imagination.

By avoiding narration and other guiding tools and instead allowing the actual images and words of these men to tell the story - and with some pretty skilled editing - Reinert crafted a compelling documentary that's never boring. The footage from the Apollo missions is spectacular, while the astronauts provide extremely intimate reflections. With any interest in the subject matter, this is a must-see.

Engaging and very well made. It made me feel like I was on the moon. Worth watching for the "YIPEEEE!" scene alone.

Very tranquil to watch and probably the ultimate moon exploration doc out there. The astronauts' words about their experiences are often quite poignant and moving as well.

Who hasn't been on the moon? Psssh.

Great stuff, but I prefer the more recent In The Shadow of The Moon.

Well meaning and, in many ways, unconventional doc about the Apollo's early missions to the moon, drawing from copious amounts of rarely seen footage shot by NASA and the astronauts themselves. The editing (and sometimes the LACK OF) music make this one stand out from "dryer" takes on the same material, but even though I knew I was looking at some truly wondrous footage, I couldn't help but grow a little restless toward the end, after watching nearly 30 minutes of gray lunar landscapes.

I'm glad they let the astronauts tell their story rather than trying to muddy it up with outside opinion. Great documentary!

Dropping narration from the documentary, I think, helped make it feel much more intimate. Simply listening to the astronauts and the people back at mission control helped prevent the detached feeling that you often get with documentaries. The editing of the whole thing is sensational and if you've ever cared about space travel at all, it's a must watch.
