One of the greatest film’s ever made. Seeing it on the IMAX big screen was very powerful, moving, amazing

People born in the last few decades think that film was low-definition with bad color and lots of smudges and noise back in the 1960s and 1970s. That's because the footage has been poorly preserved, poorly transferred, and was transferred into low-definition to conserve bandwidth at the start of the internet age. Those of us alive at the time well remember that all 70mm footage was hi definition by today's standards, with pristine color and sharpness. It's great to see some of it the way it used to appear.

Literally done by hand and with slide rules. I think the most difficult thing about it is sending the astronauts off in the first place, knowing there is a considerable risk that they won't come back home. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I think I can see that in Deke Slayton. Like a general sending his best soldiers into the deadliest battle.

The command module was the part of the spacecraft that endured the hellish 25,000 mph reentry through the earth's atmosphere to safely splashdown in the ocean. I remember that neighbor of mine, that North American Aviation team member, worked extremely long, grueling hours throughout the Apollo space program.

Guenter has spent the past couple of weeks telling me what a great fisherman he is, and how he regularly plucks giant trout from the ocean. In return, I have located the smallest trout to be found in these parts, a minnow really, and have had it, uncured, nailed to a plaque and inscribed GUENTER'S TROPHY TROUT.

If the human race lasts a million years to come, he will forever be remembered as The First. And as such, by definition, none can ever replace him.

Saying that this 'movie' gives me goosebumps is an understatement.

A documentary that had almost no dialogue, no pieces to camera, no narrator. And yet this film made the Space Race era and the people of that time feel more close and alive and human than I’ve ever felt. This film took the time to not only show all the footage of the crawler, rocket, flight control, and astronauts; but also the spectators and normal people. I’m only 23 years old. The 60s were a completely different time politically and technologically. On paper and when I look at photographs, that time feels so distant to me. But this stunningly crisp footage made those people feel real. They seem not at all so different from us today in their emotions and mannerisms. You could almost be fooled it was footage shot much later for a shuttle launch or other modern launch.

Hands down the greatest moment in human history. We may very well set foot on other terrestial bodies in the near future, but this was the first and with technology ancient to what we have today. The audacity of a nation to take on such a task reminds us of what wondrous things we are capable of. The shere courage exemplified by these three highly trained men is the stuff of legends. The world will never again be as united as when it was during that time.

Think for a moment of all that happened in the 1960s. It was a decade of superlatives, and the Apollo 11 mission was the crescendo.

The best Apollo film ever made. Period.

To think that the men who built the F1 engines are no longer around thus preventing them from being built in modernity is amazing to me.

I feel, and again, only MY FEELING, which I do not expect to have bearing on your feelings, that, when all of us, not simply the best of us, become one with the bombastic game changing potential of Humanity, we will win every single challenge. Every single engagement. My MO is not to deride God, its to remind all of Humanity that WE ARE GOD! We need not show fielty to any deity any longer, because YOUand me, and all those who see a future beyond worship will be ultimately blessed, in the wondrous and absolute discovery that Man makes possible by simply being. In my optics, god has no place. YOU DO AND I DO. Giving credence to fictional dogma serves only to usurp our own greatness. A greatness which you deserve to extoll.

@The505Guys You accomplished all of that. Believing otherwise takes from your own self-determination and fortitude. Its not fair to any Human being to be so self-destructive and so beyond his own glory, that he must surely give credit to another force, because surely he could not achieve this under his own power...

I'm blown away with how good they got this footage to look. They obviously did some digital remastering to make it look this good, but they've definitely done a great job. If I didn't know this film was 100% real footage, I would've thought some of those scenes were original and actually filmed with actors and such.

@Blob B lots of this is 70mm, which has more detail in its film than a modern 4K camera

Meines Erachtens die beste Dokumentation über Apollo 11. Toll und ganz hervorragend gelungene Aufbereitung des alten Filmmaterials. Erstaunlicherweise bietet die Blu-ray die etwas bessere Bildqualität. Fast schon ein Pflichtkauf.

This documentary is fantastic! Let us not forget what it took to accomplish this amazing mission, I look forward to the nexts strides in human space flight and exploration.

How the footage held up this well is beyond me. It looks like it was just shot this year

Same as Star Wars. Original Star Wars is only a decade younger, still it is available on 4K BluRay. "How the footage held up this well is beyond me"

65 mm film stored in National Archives vault. Its resolution is equivalent to 18k, all they had to do is scan it which they did in max 16k they developed a purpose built scanner just for that, fixed some smudges and rest of the footage in the documentary is lower quality but digitally enhanced.

@@FrankyPi it's not 18k dumbass. This is 70mm 5 perf. At most it may have 8k resolution but that's still pushing it a little. There's some footage here that's 70mm 10 perf. So close to 12k resolution but you don't see the full frame because they cropped it. IMAX footage is 70mm 15 perf. So still a little higher than 12k but not quite 16k. The ones who say 18k don't know what theyre talking about.

@@FrankyPi probably for the 10 perf 70mm film. You either scan in 8k or 16k. You cannot really scan in between. So they wanted to get everything they could out of the 10 perf footage.

Thanks, I love this stuff.

This must only ever be watched in DD 5.1. The Saturn V launch was amazing. My whole house shook 😊

This is a really great documentary everyone should see.

The best way for me to put this accomplishment into perspective is by going outside at night, holding my thumb up arm's length away, and overlapping the moon. It really shows how far away the moon is.

As a seven year old at the time, I was enthralled. Today, I still get the excited and somewhat teary at Apollo.

Thomas Pickering Thomas, unfortunately it is you that, through you frequent posts, has demonstrated your complete lack of understanding of the Apollo programme. There is a mountain of material that will help you better understand, not least this very film you are commenting on. From what I’ve seen, your claims of wrongdoing are simply built on your personal misunderstanding and in many cases incredulity.

Thomas Pickering And yet despite your rhetoric not one single piece of substantiated evidence that proves the Apollo programme was a cover up. I’ve got to say, it’s one pretty impressive space agency to have managed to prevent any leaks for almost 60 years particularly when you consider the decision was made to make the Apollo programme accessible to the public, unlike the Soviets that chose to maintain secrecy around their programme. When you find actual evidence of a hoax please let us know.

@Thomas Pickering "You are the type of person I am at war with for those who still believe the Apollo lie" - at war with? Really. Rather dramatic. "I am beyond anything you can try to do to persuade me of the authenticity of either NASA or Apollo" - thank you for confirming that you are unable to consider the issue objectively. "I know what your job is" - I would suggest you haven't the faintest idea as to what my job is. "I have plenty of actual evidence of a hoax" - but yet fails to present any of it. "but I will never share it with you." - surely if your goal is to "defund NASA" then you need to share your evidence. Perhaps you don't have any evidence to share. "This is my last response to you." - not a problem. However, I will continue to challenge your unsubstantiated and poorly researched claims.

Martin C : Well argued. Well, I've just watched the DVD of Apollo 11 and can say that it's lost none of its impact and emotion. The sight and sound of a Saturn V take off always elicits tears of pride in me. And I'm not even American. Great job one and all.

AMAZING no other words

Saw this on an OMNIMAX theater. The sound and quality was incredible. I was being vibrated by the sound! OMNIMAX makes it intense.

My dad worked on the Gemini and Apollo programs and knew many of the astronauts. He would bring home the camera footage shot by the astronauts with hand held and chest mounted units. Some of the films have never been shown to the general public, probably because to be honest they were a bit boring. Some that were shown were edited too, because they would have been difficult to delicately narrate such as the shit-en mitten floating out of the Gemini 4 capsule during the first American space walk. I also got to go with him to see and sit on the first moon buggy before it was sterilized and sent to NASA.

People need such events Just to assure them, that they can achive almost everything. I Just hope we will return to The Moon in this century.

raw footage. raw emotions. intense is an understatement.

Bummed I missed the chance to see this in IMAX. Hope it comes 'round again!

I like very much the speech of Michael Collins. 4:36

He was a very interesting guy and quite a story teller with a good sense of humor. Of all the Apollo astronauts, I would have loved to have met him, one of about 4 or 5 out of them all.

MAGNIFICENT

Outstanding!

The best way they can inspire people in this nation and around the world is to display this experience in the best AV possible, and do it live. I don't want to hear voices garbled. I want to see smooth video, and there is no better excuse to have an 8K captured visual performance than this one. Inspire us the way we need to be.

Starke Aufnahmen.. Mega Fantastisch
