- Outstanding

Picture and sound are at times stunning. Obviously the flight footage can look dated, but that's only due to the technology used at the time.

This is the definitive space travel documentary. It has pace, drama, action, some very moving moments and takes you on a spellbinding journey through the Apollo missions from the crew and flight director, Gene Crantz's point of view.

I own Nasa's greatest missions: When we left the Earth and feel that the Shadow of the Moon is far superior and more paletable. It has much more of a human quality to it and draws you into the action. It has huge re-watch value and every second adds drama to the story.

I wish I was alive when the Apollo 11 launched. It gives me chills to watch this oustanding Blu Ray.

I can't believe, 40 years later on, we haven't been back to the Moon!

- Out of this world

If like me you are a fan of any sort in to the Apollo Program and all the great men who flew these missions back in the day then this is the ultimate film for you!! Superb clean visuals and sound of the missions and like it says on the box in the Astronauts own words (appart from Armstrong)they tell there story!! One of the best films ive seen on the subject, and to be fair this will leave you with a lump in your throat as you share there amazing adventure what they talk about they speak from the heart in detail! Its little things they talk about too that other films missed out add to this classic!! great extras too! Do yourself a favour and treat yourself to this you wont regret it, plus at this cheap price on Blu Ray you cant go wrong, Awesome!!

- Incredible

This blu ray boxset is incredible. Such an amazing story about those brave men who went up into space. The picture quality and sound are amazing - this is worth the price.

- 4:3 can be remasted in high definition too!

The interviews are done in 16x9, but the original film elements from the '60s and '70s are 4:3 as they should be. It amazes me that people think that this is somehow defeating the purpose of HD. Thankfully they present the archival film clips exactly as they were filmed, not cropped or stretched. Older film using the 4:3 aspect ratio can just as easily be remastered in high definition as widescreen films.

- going to the moon

I grow up with the apollo missions,i was 11 years when they landed on the moon,remember watching at 03:00 in the morning with my dad,this cd has now been on the tv since i purchased it. I find the team and human input into this mission was unequelled before or since,the background information and personal interviews are now about to pass into history,it give me the push to go on to join the air force in later life,i think i maybe one of many that lifed though this time that anything was possible,and the world for a time was united,if you want to see the best of human spirt and have a love of flying and would like to know how man 50 years after the first flight made this happen then i would get this,some parts are of the NASA video is from the time not great,but the rest has been upgraded
