DVD Description
Between 1968 and 1972, the world watched in awe each time an American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon. Only 12 men walked upon its surface and they remain the only human beings to have stood on another world.
In The Shadow Of The Moon brings together for the first, and very possibly the last time, surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission which flew to the Moon, and allows them to tell their story in their own words. Beautifully shot, this riveting first-hand testimony is interwoven with visually stunning archive material which has been re-mastered from the original NASA film footage – much of it never used before.

Picture and sound are at times stunning. Obviously the flight footage can look dated, but that's only due to the technology used at the time.
This is the definitive space travel documentary. It has pace, drama, action, some very moving moments and takes you on a spellbinding journey through the Apollo missions from the crew and flight director, Gene Crantz's point of view.
I own Nasa's greatest missions: When we left the Earth and feel that the Shadow of the Moon is far superior and more paletable. It has much more of a human quality to it and draws you into the action. It has huge re-watch value and every second adds drama to the story.
I wish I was alive when the Apollo 11 launched. It gives me chills to watch this oustanding Blu Ray.
I can't believe, 40 years later on, we haven't been back to the Moon!

This is a great documentary and I really like the way the astronauts tell the story (no narration). It is very disappointing that Neil Armstrong was not interviewed. The transfer to HD was nicely done. Even though the aspect ratio of the transferred material is not 16:9 and the artefacts were not removed the video is crisp and reminds the viewer that these events happened decades ago. Interviews however are presented in 16:9 aspect ratio.
I would have preferred that the extras on the disc be included in the main feature for a more complete story.
I recommend this blu-ray.

If like me you are a fan of any sort in to the Apollo Program and all the great men who flew these missions back in the day then this is the ultimate film for you!! Superb clean visuals and sound of the missions and like it says on the box in the Astronauts own words (appart from Armstrong)they tell there story!! One of the best films ive seen on the subject, and to be fair this will leave you with a lump in your throat as you share there amazing adventure what they talk about they speak from the heart in detail! Its little things they talk about too that other films missed out add to this classic!! great extras too! Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to this you wont regret it, plus at this cheap price on Blu Ray you cant go wrong, Awesome!!

Moving and historic, an absolute must see
Ignore whatever anyone says about the grainy 1960s films used in this documentary, it's too interesting to be bothered about the quality of 50 year old film stock. Read more

Worth it to see the Saturn 5 launch in all it's HD glory. Excellent footage and interviews, nice extras too.

Must be seen! Blue ray gem!
True, the archive footage was bound to be grainy, but the interviews are top notch, and some of the nasa footage is mind blowing. If money's an issue, get the dvd. Read more
