Composed of actual NASA footage of the missions and astronaut interviews, the documentary offers the viewpoint of the individuals who braved the remarkable journey to the moon and back.

      • Aug 04, 2013
        The Apollo missions were one of the most important events of the 20th Century. This is not your typical documentary, and it is a necessary one to watch if you're interested in the Apollo missions. This is a near flawless attempt at telling the complete story of the Moon Landings. I say that this is a different documentary because instead of featuring interviews, it is narrated by the astronauts who participated in the missions. The film is terrific and engaging, but it does leave a lot to be desired, mainly due in part to its short run time. For a subject such as this one, a more in depth documentary should have been made. In other words, a two hour film would have been enough. For All Mankind is nonetheless a worthwhile film to watch and it's quite spectacular in terms of footage and narrated accounts of the astronauts who were there. This is an important documentary and you get to witness a part of history as we revisit this historical mission. Although not perfect, For All Mankind is a near perfect attempt at crafting a documentary on these missions that changed the face of humanity forever. Beautifully shot and narrated, this is an insightful documentary that is only limited by a short run time. I really loved the film, and it is a worthwhile viewing for viewers interested in the missions to the moon. This is nonetheless one of the best documentaries that I have seen and it is a fine document recounting this mission, and it is a delight from start to finish. With beautiful imagery, For All Mankind is a fine and near perfect film that should delight viewers of all ages.

        I?ve heard a lot of good things about this Doc, but I?ve avoided it for a really long time simply because I feel like I?ve seen more than enough about the moon landing for one lifetime. I still feel that way after seeing it, but I can appreciate the strong filmmaking behind this. The movie combines footage from all the Apollo missions and edits it to look like one lone mission. That?s a really interesting format, and it?s done in a really artful way. There?s very little voice over and no talking heads, just original footage and audio made into a collage with some wistful Brian Eno music to hold it all together. It?s sort of like Koyaanisqatsi in space.

        A fascinating documentary. No annoying voice overs from an outsider, instead great narration from the astronauts and the actual radio transmissions.
