Return to Space (2022) User Reviews

A lot about SpaceX that I didn't know

[Erik_Stone · 8/10 · 7 April 2022]

It's a well balanced documentary. I didn't know all the history, so for me, it was really informative an entertaining.

There is excitement, risk, history, great visual footage, and interviews with major players.

Fun to watch.

Brilliant documentary. A must watch.

[PaulMMXX · 8/10 · 10 April 2022]

Great insight on Space X.

Outstanding docu and great storytelling.

This documentary shows you the timeline of Space X and it's failures and success.

Elon is relentless and has changed the space industry with Space X.

Space X creates hope and overcomes challenges in this documentary about space travel.

A definite must watch if you enjoy space exploration.

I Want To Go To Space!

[MatiasLaurent · 8/10 · 11 April 2022]

If there's one message this documentary tells us, it's that they want the future of space exploration to continue with the coming generations - and I believe this is both a great documentary and era for the youth to delve deeper into it!

The nerve-racking, high-pulse and even tearful moments I felt through the series made me really connect with the emotions of the individuals involved in the development of these projects. I really wish I was part of the first rocket launches, or even had interest in them when they launched - memories for life I know I missed. However, this documentary captured the moments with brilliance! (Since I felt all of this!) For the next NASA/SpaceX launches I will make sure I witness them digitally or...in real life!!

Deeplay moved, yet at the same time, greatly encouraged

[MovieIQTest · 8 April 2022]

This is one of the BEST documentary movies that I've ever viewed so far. There were moments I suddenly realized I was holding my breath during those critical launching, docking, and then back to the earth, the blackout period, those processes were just so daunting and nervous breaking. What a journey of our space endeavor. I finally had the opportunity to share those moments with Elon Musk and those who worked together with him. What a great viewing experience, so unforgetable. Thanks to the production team who made this documentary seamlessly made, allowing us to energetically rekindle hopes during this darkest pandemic era as well as the atrocity that Russian's Putin has caused.

Next Stop, Moon and Mars

[Slarkshark · 7/10 · 24 April 2022]

I find the idea of going back to the moon and establishing colonies, then to Mars incredibly exciting for mankind. Honestly, it's about time. I'm just really glad we have someone like Musk who genuinely wants mankind to progress, and has the ambition and of course funds to do it. We have to keep moving. To remain static is death.

It was interesting to learn about SpaceX and it's history, but I was really hoping to learn more about their plans for the Moon and Mars. The documentary itself was nothing special and would probably be quite boring for someone who only has a slight interest in space.

Very excited for the things to come from Musk and his team at SpaceX.

Uplifting during difficult times

[pduckboyn · 9/10 · 21 April 2022]

Refreshing to see such dedication and progress in a world with its share of problems. Encouraging as as reminder of what private industry can and will do. Enlightening to get a little view of the larger than life Elon Musk. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Too long, but shows the thrill and agony of space exploration

[jonasleaparis · 6/10 · 8 April 2022]

Title says it all. Could've been 30 min shorter but interesting insight into modern space exploration / rocket launches and the personalities that undergo these missions.

Highly informative and interesting

[rbeckv · 9/10 · 8 April 2022]

I'm not a huge fan of documentaries but I actually watched this from beginning to end and it held my attention throughout. Somebody already said it - I knew part of the story but this really filled in a lot of the pieces about the space industry as a whole.

The film also gives decent insight into the character of Musk and his intentions regarding space travel. He shows genuine care about the mission and the people involved.

Highly recommend even if you hate Musk - still provides a great view of the mission of space travel over the past couple of decades.

Interesting, but not engaging

[camwasi · 6/10 · 15 August 2022]

Good documentary and I learnt a lot on the inner workings. But as someone who has read Elons book and follow some of the space news, there was nothing particularly surprising. Still entertaining to watch.

Masterpiece

[leusdonati · 9/10 · 7 April 2022]

As Jimmy Chin and Elizabeth Chai got us used to, here we have another great documentary that takes us through highs and lows of american space history, taking a deep look into the main characters themselves. Great edit, stunning shots and wrapping music. Must-watch for documentaries lovers.

Interesting yet baggy in the second hour, would still recommend

[F1-Phil · 7/10 · 18 May 2022]

What starts out as a compelling documentary about the USA re-acquiring the capability to send astronauts to the ISS with SpaceX seems to lose focus about halfway in and I found myself watching footage that had nothing at all to do with the subject at hand. That said I really enjoyed most of this program, but you could lose 30 minutes and the result would be an improvement.

Excellent documentary. Hands down!

[rva-raghav · 10/10 · 10 April 2022]

Mindblown by the visuals, the screenplay and the way it was narrated. It was engaging throughout that I never felt bored for a minute. Well worth the time spent.

Just an uncritical advertisement for SpaceX

[samsamuelstein · 1/10 · 21 April 2022]

This is just an uncritical advertisement for SpaceX. There's no investigative journalism, or a critical look at the industry. The producers just regurgitate the company's PR talking points. You could "learn" more by reading a SpaceX press kit.

Thank you.

[justin-devilliers · 10/10 · 18 April 2022]

This highlights the best of humanity through what have been some very difficult years. I watch EVERY single launch and it inspires and amazes me EVERY single time.

A must watch for aerospace and science enthusiasts

[devang-adhyaru · 10/10 · 12 April 2022]

Concise and entertaining documentary about trials, tribulations and successes of hardworking engineers at SpaceX led by Elon Musk. Real puts into perspective the gravity of responsibility all the team members carry behind the scene when the flight has people on board. The documentary filled in all the historic events that lead up to a low point in American space flight and subsequent policies to privatize important space programs. It's a well made documentary that hit the important things. Definitely inspiring stuff for space enthusiasts like me.

Astounding

[connor-55107 · 10/10 · 10 April 2022]

Amazing documentary that highlights the truth about spaceX's revolution of the space industry. Incredible description of how relentless Elon Musk is in the face of critics and naysayers.

The only entities to build, design and supply rockets to successfully send people to the ISS

Russia US China SpaceX

Wow.

Go For Launch

[shirlone · 10/10 · 16 April 2022]

This was an amazing documentary of the US/ Russia working together on the ISS. Very well put together. Informative and educational. I grew up watching the Apollo Missions and they were amazing. The astronauts putting everything on the line to going into space going to the moon- hopefully back to the moon and on to Mars. The earth looks so huge from space. It's a documentary definitely worth your while to watch.

Just propaganda for Elon Musk

[LucyKempers · 3/10 · 12 April 2022]

This is merely propaganda for Elon Musk and shareholders for SPCE.

Not interesting whatsoever. Good to watch if you are in the aero industry, otherwise don't waste your time.

Great for space

[aharmtti · 9/10 · 17 April 2022]

Found some great information about space x and NASA. Liked how it showed they had to work together to put people back in space,

Was very disappointed in Armstrong and the other astronaut that decided that private companies would be the death of space and would be a killing field of people.

Also found it a bit odd that several politicians thought the same death as Neil would follow private space companies. Glad Space X proved government puppets wrong on several ideas.

Good

[d-31550 · 9/10 · 25 April 2022]

I mean, i like it a lot, very Well made.

And i am by no means a flat earther, or just jumping on the Globe model either.

But please Can someone just please explain to me, like i am 5 years old, which camera is filming the ISS from the front when flying in space, and why are there no Damn stars out there? I cannot wrap my head around all this being a Lie, But when my own eyes cam see stars every Night on a clear sky, (sky is always clear in space) how come there are no stars ? And i Damn Well know that in order to film something, there has to be a camera, so how Can the ISS be filmed from 100 meters away when flying up there ?

Return to Space is Great

[avakay-98287 · 10/10 · 4 August 2022]

I have watched Return to Space twice. It is fascinating! Elon put his money toward this dream and has succeeded. Many geniuses work at Spacex to make this come true. This almost seemed like a futuristic space movie at times, but it is a real accomplishment. Thanks to Elon Musk and all Spacex employees! Well done!

Breathtaking!

[ashchan1111 · 10/10 · 4 May 2022]

Awestruck ! Its next to impossible to grow from 0 to something extraordinary when the idols you worshiped publicly sabotage you.

Elon Musk is revolutionizing humanity. If we cant support him, at least we should refrain from creating hurdles.

PR FOR SPACEX!!

[sriramthestranger · 3/10 · 23 April 2022]

May be Netflix and SPACEX had a multi year arrangement to air best footages. There is nothing concrete in this 2hr documentary rather than rants about test missions and launches. Not recommended!!

Make life multiplanetary

[hejsej-36296 · 10/10 · 12 April 2022]

Great documentary with insights into what we as humanity has been lacking on, to explore and perhaps one day that impossibility of living on an another planet might become the opposite.

Hard-Work can't be expressed, you will have to step in feel it.

[budheswartrailblazer · 10/10 · 7 April 2022]

I just watched the trailer now, and yeah its gonna be a hell lot of hard-work and dedication of ELON MUSK which will being showed in this movie. I am gonna watch this movie right now after commenting here. And for sure Elon Musk is an Alien! He is from the future. Believe That!
