For those who look for a well produced, faithful, moving telling of
the Apollo program, this series is a masterpiece. Michael Kamen's
poignant music, Tom Hanks' exacting production standards,
outstanding performances from a range of excellent actors and
special effects that leave one wondering what it would have looked
like on a movie screen ---- all make this series a must-see. And for
those concerned that this series might have gross overlap with
other films made about this time period (The Right Stuff, Apollo
13), you will be pleased to see that the series carefully and
deliberately tells the tales not already well told in these two films.
Again, this is a subtle example of Hanks' production values.
But let's say you don't care about all that. Then, get ready to learn.
Get ready to see the complex conundrum that was the Apollo
program unfold in much the way the principal players probably
saw it. Get ready for a balance between humour and intelligence.
Get ready for exposition that does not drag like exposition tends to
do. Get ready to cry at times, and if you're lucky enough to
remember those days, get ready for a wave of nostalgia.
People who rave about this series usually do so not because they
are blinded by their own interest in the subject and are glad
someone did the tale justice. Usually, they marvel at how
someone managed to capture so much and keep the quality so
high. And I believe you will, too.
