DVD Description
Tom Hanks, Imagine Entertainment and HBO present From the Earth to the Moon, the dramatic story of the unforgettable Apollo missions and their heroic astronauts, from President John F. Kennedy's historic speech, through the first manned expeditions into space, to the defining moment of the space program - putting a man on the moon. "One small step for man... one giant leap for mankind." Powerfully told as never before though the unforgettable performances of Cary Elwes, Sally Field, Chris Isaak and many more, these are the stories of the men, women and children who lived, breathed and manufactured from the power of human will one of the greatest achievements in the history of mankind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 31 Jan 2007
The series follows NASA during the Apollo moon-landing programme; each episode focuses on a different aspect, designing the spacecraft, training and the missions themselves. There is also an episode that focuses on the wives of the astronauts, which I thought, was a good idea.
The missions are all well done in the same quality as Apollo 13 movie.
Apollo 12 is my favourite in the "Is that all there is" episode but all are very good.
The extra DVD is good with the documentary of the making of the series although I would have liked it to be longer.
In short, if you liked Apollo 13 you will like this.

5.0 out of 5 stars An under-rated series, 25 Jul 2006
By Jl Adcock "John Adcock" (Ashtead UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
To my knowledge, this fantastic series was only shown once on British TV, and tucked away in a lunchtime slot on Saturdays. A shame, as From the Earth to the Moon really made the Apollo era come alive in a way that a straightforward documentary could not. Each episode - fronted by Tom Hanks - takes a different view on one aspect of the Apollo missions, and all of them are compelling viewing. Faultless, big-budget production values make this an attractive series to watch. A welcome release on DVD that won't disappoint.

5.0 out of 5 stars ' Widescreen ' version, 21 Oct 2006
By Brian Carson (London UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
For some unknown reason Amazon do not point out
that this box set is the ' Widescreen ' version.

I believe the original release was '4:3 ratio '
but this version is ' 16:9 (1.78:1) '
which I would imagine most people would prefer.

It is a very Up market Classy looking box set
using the ' Digipak® ' system which at least prevents
dvd's from rattling lose in postage.

If you are into the Apollo missions then this is a must buy product.

Stunning images will blow you away
