In the Shadow of the Moon



Simply amazing. One of the most moving and thorough documentaries I have seen in quite some time. It succeeds in every way, as not only do we revisit the voyage of man to the moon in the late 60s and 70s, but we see how it has impacted the men involved to this day. The direction is top notch, and the execution is just brilliant. One of 2007's few gems. A near flawless motion picture.

My father was born shortly after the Wright Brothers. He could barely believe that I went to the Moon. But my son, Tom, was five. And he didn't think it was any big deal.
