Outstanding! What a great tribute to the Apollo space program. A great use of 3D technology. I loved all of the star voices sitting in for the Apollo astronuats. I recognized some of them, not all of them. This movie - only about 45 minutes long - shows us past footage and new footage of what it was like to fly an Apollo mission to the moon. Including hypothetical worst case scenarios and what moon travel might be like in the future. For those who remember the Apollo missions, this will be a great reminder and tribute to those days of the late 60's & 70's. And for those who have no frame of reference, what a great way to learn about what it was like. The 3D effects are outstanding, not gimmicky. Please go see this movie and take your kids. I remember very little of the Apollo missions when they occurred, but this movie actually had me choked up at the end. I only wish it was longer...

The first act (set-up) bothered me. I know the intent is to get these two abandoned in the water, but I didn't buy the set-up created by the filmmakers. The couple's initial reaction of surfacing and finding no boat bothered me. I would be scared out of my wits. They weren't. But I'm not an experienced diver. The middle and last acts were nerve racking to watch. I watched this on a portable DVD player. I'm sure the effect of the movie would have been much more intense in a theater. The "Making Of"... segment in the Special Features on how this couple made the movie is just as fascinating as the movie itself. They have my admiration and respect...
