Countdown (1967)
Interesting late 60's film about space travel
17 July 2006 - 2 out of 4 users found this review helpful.
The film is interesting although very TV-movieish in many ways (editing, melodramatic score, zooms and pans) but it had some good points nonetheless.
Many of the scenes involving characters in conflict were very realistic-people talked over each other, facial expressions, sarcasm, etc. The scene between Ross and Gus was exceptionally well done and very interesting since we had Ross trying to do his job for the government and Gus showing concern about the human element of the project.
The training simulations were cool and it seemed many were filmed at NASA or at least recreated in an authentic fashion.
This a good movie for Saturday or Sunday afternoon...give it a try and enjoy the acting, script, and low-key TV style film-making.
