It starts off with the music being too loud to hear people talking and the first 1:45 is basically an advert with celebrity comments who occasionally appear throughout the documentary. There is no real substance to this documentary, watch Apollo 11 (2019) instead which is spell binding or if you want more personal information then watch the excellent Neil Armstrong: First Man on the Moon (2012) where Neil's brother explains that his famous words were already prepared.

Not to bad, but it's been done before
Drat196429 March 2022
Not a bad documentary but showing how long ago this was, as we now are seeing the sons of some of the astronauts, rather than the astronauts themselves. The material has been covered in many other documentaries over the years, my favourite remains from the Earth to the Moon. Although did find the narration a little odd, it's Mark Strong, an English actor, for some reason doing an American accent. If they wanted an American accent there are any number of good Americans who could have done this or just have Strong do it in his own English accent, I just found Strong doing a fake accent distracting and annoying.
