Review of Apollo 11

I went to Eden Court to see Apollo 11, a documentary-film of the lunar landing that happened 50 years ago this Saturday.

The film followed the mission from launch (50 years two days ago) to the landing with unreleased recordings of the mission.  The screen included the countdowns to certain parts of the mission (such as how much fuel Neil Armstrong had left in the Lunar Landing Module as he descended onto the Moon) and there was a few funny moments, such as Buzz Aldrin saying that he'll leave the door slightly open so he and Neil wouldn't get "locked out", a few of in the audience chuckled at the joke.

The screen looked at multiple shots that happened at the same moment together, allowing us as the audience to take in what was happening else where.

At the end during the credits, the names of the people who worked on Apollo 11 were listed so the number 11 was shown.

Neil Armstrong, the man who landed an eagle so he took take that small step for man, one giant leap for mankind died in 2012.  

I hope that you will come, see and enjoy at Eden Court.
