Apollo 11

This incredible documentary makes use of old 65mm film that was found in pristine condition and scanned to 4k. It's absolutely amazing. The 60s come through in amazing resolution, and the work of NASA's cameramen and of Armstrong and Aldrin gives views that we've never seen before of the first manned mission to the moon.

Holy SMOKES!!!! Buy this NOW!!!!! The 4K disc will play fine in the United States. The included Blu-ray with bonus materials will not, but you can get a "region free" Blu-ray player that will allow you access to the bonus materials. Whether you view the bonus materials or not, this is ABSOLUTELY worth seeing. Footage you've never seen before. You'll be VERY glad you added this to your library.

Great that they presented high resolution film discovered in 2018 for the first time and with well matched music and narration.

Sooo much unknown detail and data with superb footage. Sadly they omitted some things though like this: When Apollo 11’s Eagle lunar module landed on the moon’s Sea of Tranquility on July 20, 1969, the space travelers took time to recover from their flight before stepping onto the moon’s surface. Astronaut Buzz Aldrin had received permission to bring bread and wine so he could take Communion. After reading Scripture, he tasted the first foods ever consumed on the moon. Later, he wrote: “I poured the wine into the chalice our church had given me. In the one-sixth gravity of the moon the wine curled slowly and gracefully up the side of the cup.” As Aldrin enjoyed this celestial Communion, his actions proclaimed his belief in Christ’s sacrifice on the cross and the guarantee of His second coming.

If you have a 4k setup and are into space/aerospace, I highly suggest getting this! The UHD is done very well.

Just buy it. A significant moment in human history and the clearest, cleanest footage of this kind.

Amazing retrospect of a country facing tough challenges and doing great things. Certainly worth having as a reminder of how America used to be.

The 4K disc will play on a 4K blue ray player in the US these are region free. The blue ray disc would not play on my older blue ray player. Luckily I recently purchased a 4K player for our new 4K TV. The blu ray disc is of no use to me.

Apollo 11 is a 2019 documentary based on the rocket flight of the same name. Anyone familiar with history knows that this flight was the first to feature a moon landing, an amazing accomplishment for humankind. The film was directed, edited and produced by director Todd Douglas Miller. The film is ninety three minutes long and consists solely of real archival footage from the Apollo 11 flight. This film throws out every standard set by previous documentaries and features absolutely no narration or interviews. None whatsoever. It is quite literally the story of the three legendary astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Neil Armstrong on their trip to and from the moon using cleaned up footage and some rare never before seen 70mm film. To say that Apollo 11 is an absolute treat on the eyes is an understatement. To see all this footage (which we've all seen many times) in such high quality made me speechless. The detail makes the film look quite surreal, like you're not actually watching real launch footage. This is because of the clarity of the whole thing. Most of the footage looks like it could have been shot at a landing in the digital era. The amount of detail on the pad, the tower and the rocket itself is impressive and brings everything forward in time. My favourite part of the film is lift off. The colourful and beauty behind the powerful explosion looks immense. But also the tension in the group landing on Earth and mission control waiting to hear if they had made it. Utterly fantastic. The pacing of the movie is something I was extremely impressed with. I'm a fan of space movies and Apollo 13 is a big favourite of mine. I was surprised that the film flowed very much like that piece of fiction. The build up to launch, shooting up to orbit, flying around and landing on the moon to the trip home. It all went by VERY quickly and I didn't realise how much time had past until the three astronauts were ready to head back home. The lack of narrator really lets the visual element pop. It tells a story perfectly and is a great example of why modern cinema's desire to tell the plot at every given opportunity just isn't required here or in any other movie. It even made me feel nervous as we waited for the astronauts to touch down in the sea. I knew what happened, I've seen it many times but the way the film drags you in, it made you forget you were watching something you've already seen dozens of times before. As someone who has always enjoyed watching archival space launch footage and always took the time to watch the shuttles go up, I appreciate the effort that has went into this film. It clearly had a lot of love put into it and should be archived itself. It's a beautiful documentary that is a testament to what these three men and all the amazing people involved achieved. If you're a spaceman at heart like myself, this is a must buy.

Se siete appassioanti della conquista della Luna qui trovate il film/documentario perfetto. Un lavoro di restauro straordinario a livello di immagine e suoni. Viene ripercorsa l'intera missione Apollo 11 attraverso filmati e conversazioni radio originali dell'epoca, a partire dalle fasi precedenti al lancio fino al ritorno sulla Terra. Qui e là vengono aggiunti dei brani davvero bellissimi, senza però essere invasivi: lo spazio per le voci e i silenzi c'è tutto. L'effetto grana ogni tanto è davvero evidente ma non me la sento di lamentarmi in quanto sono pur sempre riprese di fine anni '60. Non ci sono purtroppo i sottotitoli in italiano, cosa che obiettivamente può togliere un po' di gusto in alcune conversazioni. Da acquistare a occhi chiusi! Emozioni assicurate dato che ad ogni visione riesco pure a commuovermi. In fondo è "solo" la più grande impresa dell'uomo!

Auf der Amazon App nach "Apollo 11" gesucht und diese gefunden und bestellt. Erst bei der Lieferung war klar: dies ist nicht von Amazon sondern von einem anderen Anbieter, dieser Film enthält nicht die deutsche Version sondern ist ein Import. Dies ist schon wiederholt vorgekommen und ich habe langsam keine Lust mehr darauf. Suche mir einen anderen Anbieter.

Very nice

L’avevo visto alla NASA a Orlando e finalmente l’ho ritrovato! Che dire davvero davvero bello!!! Sia a livello di immagine, le immagini restaurate sono FANTASTICHE, sia i dialoghi originali. L’unica pecca è che mancano i sottotitoli in italiano e per chi non conosce l’inglese non è il massimo
