4 November 2007: Bristol Cinema - In the Shadow of the Moon
Between 1968 and 1972, we all looked to the skies with hope as the Americans voyaged to the moon - 12 men walking on it. Stunning original NASA footage and riveting first-hand testimony make for an inspiring reflection of those wondrous times.
'Without a single frame of CGI or simulation, the filmmakers compiled astounding, never-before seen footage with inserts of intimate confessions by some of the remaining Apollo crew members who took part in the nine moon landings. "Shadow" shows just part of how the work of 400,000 scientists and engineers came together to make President Kennedy's dream of putting a man on the moon by the end of the decade, a reality.'
'The truly great thing about this film is that these images, which so many of us are used to seeing on a small television screen, are shown on a big screen. Only on a big screen can one see and feel the depth of the journey that was Apollo. The film has the ability to take images seen many times and bring context and emotion to them. In particular, the footage and still images of the Earth as taken by the astronauts is awe-inspiring. In fact, seeing the famous Earth-rise image from Apollo 8 brought me to tears.'
'To be frank, In The Shadow Of The Moon is an amazing piece of work. Not since For All Mankind has a film of any size, shape, or form captured the spirit of Apollo. This is a film about a dream, the men who lived it, and its legacy not only for them but for us as well. '
'A great cinematic achievement, this documentary resonates with gorgeous visuals and stimulates through candid interviews with the only people in the world that have ever actually been to where we all have dreamt of going; and though we probably won't ever get to go ourselves, we've never been closer than with 'In the Shadow of the Moon.'
'the contagious sense of excitement, discovery and sheer fun in
attempting the unknown is vividly conveyed. To watch the astronauts gleefully testing their lunar equipment like kids at Christmas or drawing plans for "their" section of the spacecraft on huge sheets of graph paper is a reminder that these guys were both "best of the rest" aviators and top-drawer scientists, working in an era when the computer power available to them was probably less than that of the average three year old mobile phone.'
