Where is Poppy?

Very good presentation. However I must protest that in all their Mission Control clips I didn't see one that showed Poppy Northcutt, the 25 year old NASA engineer in charge of the return trip from the moon. Major sexism here.

interesting approach

This unusual documentary essentially recreates visuals to match actual audio recordings of the astronauts on their moon excursion. It's an engrossing story and it's fun to see how it played out from beginning to end (fun enough that's it's worth watching both this and Apollo 11, which covers the same territory).

The only thing I didn't care for was the gimmicky transitions. Sometimes when flicking through scenes one hears the sound of a TV getting staticky, other times film footage will run out to the marked-up end. I don't see the point in any of that; it just annoyed me. But that's a small thing.

Best re-telling of the Apollo 11 mission so far

Almost a docudrama.

I've watched all the recent space documentaries and film celebrating the 50 anniversary of landing on the moon. I'm just old enough to remember it. Of all the programs this is the best and I include Apollo 11 that I watched at the cinema. By re-recording the mission conversations it comes over a lot clearer.

Despite knowing the ending it is really tense.

Almost like being there

The moon landings remain a remarkable chapter in the human story, when mankind threw incredible resources, ingenuity and courage into a venture into a place from which there was no prospect of rescue should that commitment prove to be inadequate. Audio recordings exist from most of the first succesful mission, and also film from that trip; by splicing in some dramatic reconstruction of the astronauts themselves (mostly immobile in their tiny spaceship) this film gets its audience as close as is possible to having actually been there themselves. And pointless as some say the voyage was, there's no getting away from the fact that even in fascimile, it still feels awesome. We may never get to Mars; but a few men stood on the moon, and that's pretty cool.

Perfect Weaving of Archival 1969 with 2018 Technology

I bought the "Apollo 11" documentary that appeared in limited release in (few) theaters in the spring of 2019. I didn't think anything could surpass it but ultimately was disappointed at its brief running-time. "8 Days: To the Moon and Back" accomplishes what I was looking for. This documentary offers details about the moon landing with only the mildest interjection of "acting." I ask some other reviewer to correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe ALL the dialogue is actual real-time dialogue between NASA and Armstrong, Aldrin, and Collins. The soundtrack is superb. The "what can possibly go wrong" moments will have you on the edge of your seat, as if you don't know the outcome. This is the documentary to watch. I call it a documentary and realize some may call it a docu-drama. I'd give it eleven stars if I could.

At about 1 hour in the documentary Armstrong and Aldrin are taking photographs on the moon. The typical sound of a camera's shutter and film transport is heard. This is impossible in a vacuum.
