5.0 out of 5 stars A great documentary, and a great book as well ! Nov 13 2007
Format:DVD
I thought that this documentary was a truly wonderful introduction to the Apollo moon landings, showing the human side of the experience and providing a great general overview of the achievements. I saw it on the movie screen, and I highly recommend it.

I also really liked the impressive book of the same title, by C. Burgess and F. French, that not only covers the early Apollo flights, but also delves into the preceding flights, and what the Russian rivals were up to at that time. In the book, I learned about the early lives and early flights of these astronauts, and what it was like to be in the moment of flying the missions. In the movie, I learned what these guys look like today, and how they feel reflecting back on their experiences. Both film and book were perfect for their medium, and great accompaniments to each other.

I highly recommend both book and movie, and suggest experiencing both!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Excitement of Apollo Once More Mar 22 2013
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
As an "Apollo Kid" I was glued to the grainy TV images of the moon landing and all of the Apollo missions before and after. Forty years later, watching "In the Shadow of the Moon", the wonderment of it all is recalled, and it is just as good today as it was back then. The Apollo astronauts recount their stories and reflect on the program, now, in a very personal way. This is not really about the moon landings, but about the hearts and souls of the brave men who flew these missions. Their personal stories mixed with much reflective humor makes for the most amazing story that you can't tear yourself away from. It is a bit unfortunate that Neil Armstrong didn't participate in this landmark film, but all of the other guys make up for it. This was, and remains, an amazing adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars captivant, magique! Oct 10 2008
Format:DVD
Tout le documentaire est en anglais, mais on perdrait tellement à doubler les voix de ses astronautes, racontant en 2007 l'aventure d'Appolo, porter l'homme sur la lune! Ces astronautes ont le visage marqué par leur expérience: ils sont très beaux. Moi qui suis née juste un an avant la mission Appolo 8, je n'en avais rien vu, sinon quelques images, en noir et blanc. J'ai été bouleversée de les voir en couleur! Et oui, les films étaient déjà en couleur à cette époque , mais nos télévisions ne pouvaient nous donner que du noir et blanc.
Le documentaire est très bien fait, il y a beaucoup d'archives filmées, entrecoupées par les porpos des astronautes interwievés en 2007. J'ai particulièrement aimé les derniers commentaires de chacun d'eux à la fin du film. Que de sagesse ce merveilleux voyage leur a apporté, et qu'il serait bon que tous les hommes entendent leurs témoignages!
Gene Cernan dit entre autre: (ceci est ma traduction)"La Terre est conçue avec trop de spécificités, trop de logique,elle est trop belle pour être apparue par accident. Il faut qu'il y ait quelqu'un plus grand que vous, plus grand que moi, et je le dis dans un sens spirituel, non pas religieux. Il faut qu'il y ait un Créateur de l'Univers, qui est au-dessus des religions que nous nous sommes fabriqués nous-mêmes durant nos vies..."
Un film documentaire à voir absolument!
