Review

I have seen all the movies, and this one stands apart… What it does is allow these amazing men to tell there story in their own words – and tell it in a way that really hasn’t been told before. This is a story about dreams; about their dreams, but it is also a story about Jeff’s dream to share this story. –Miles O’Brien, CNN

These fine men accomplished something extraordinary and this film serves to remind us of the stagnant nature of the U.S. If anything, these personas have been chiseled in stone in the years since their big adventure. There’s John Young’s comical bluntness, the still-excitable and bubbly Alan Bean, drawling Charlie Duke recalling his jumping horseplay on the lunar surface and the dangerous tumble he took because of it. And Aldrin lives up to his nickname “Doctor Rendezvous.”…new details about the work and the adventure emerge, but you should see it for yourself. –Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

With tales to tell, they do with gravity and candor in The Wonder of it All , a remarkable oral-history of the Apollo program…better then the recent In the Shadow of the Moon (2007). –Bruce Westbrook, Houston Chronicle
