In The Shadow of the Moon July 26, 2008
This documentary was great. Ron Howard has done it again detailing the Space race program while at the same time showing the astronauts side of what they saw and experienced in their travels to the Moon and how they were forever changed because of it.

While channel surfing on TV I caught this CD on a station I never watch.
I was riveted! I lived through America's rush to the moon, even getting up to watch the lift-offs of every flight on Pacific time. All of the emotions of being there is brought home in these interviews with the men who made the flights. I immediately ordered 3 copies of the film for my grandsons because I've never seen anything that better portrays the drama of those heart-stopping mornings so many years ago. It is beautifully done and the pleasure of listening to those true heros is not be be missed.

I'd recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys beautiful, imaginative music, great photography, and technical information interspersed with a lot of human interest. I think even a preteen would enjoy this. This production was done with a historical, as well as technical, point of view.
 Great, but not the definitive take on Apollo July 11, 2008

In 'Shadow' you get to hear voices that are infrequently heard from in other Apollo films: Collins, Scott, Schmidtt, Mitchell. This a pleasant surprise.
Michael Collins, Al Bean and Charlie Duke really carry this movie. Their candor and humor bring a humanity to the film. John Young, Edgar Mitchell and David Scott also evoke emotional responses but in a vastly more subtle and understated manner. I could have done without Aldrin and Cernan, both of who continue to exhibit tremendous self-regard all these decades.
A very personal film that is a worthwhile collection to any space buff's library. Also, it is a good movie for those who did not live thru that era but wish understand some of the men inside those machines.
Best space documentary ever June 24, 2008

This is the best space documentary I have ever seen. It should be a part of all grade school cirriculum so that young children know how we got to the moon and what it meant to America
