Movie Reviews

The Seattle Times - 9/10 by Soren AndersenWhat the movie makes clear is that that deeply spiritual moment represented a triumph of management.
Decider - 8/10 by Jade BudowskiCombining archival footage, interviews, and stunning VFX recreations, the film chronicles the hard work of the men who worked in Mission Control, the lives of astronauts they sent to space, and their efforts to save the crew of Apollo 13.
Variety - 8/10 by Joe LeydonThe film benefits greatly from its ability to review events from the viewpoints of the men on the ground in Houston.
Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Michael RechtshaffenMission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo is a well-crafted, revealing British documentary.
Chicago Reader - 7/10 by J. R. JonesThis is the usual mix of talking heads and archival footage, but Fairhead also inserts detailed CGI sequences that vividly illustrate the technical issues unfolding.
The Hollywood Reporter - 6/10 by John DeForeSeeing these likable oldsters talk at length is just about the entire point of this picture, which isn't nearly as good at guiding us through history or explaining technical minutiae as it is at relating to their well-earned sense of pride.
User Review - 10/10 by Rebecca OAn excellent film. I saw this film at SXSW and it was amazing. It shows the story that we never get to hear about the men behind the most important moment in space exploration thus far. It is a very well done documentary featuring original archived footage and audio of the missions and mission control, outlining the history of the Apollo program. It's informative, funny, and powerful. As a major space nerd, I found this film a wonderful rendition of the well-known program invented in a new light. To anyone interested in NASA's history, I would recommend this film.
User Review - 10/10 by Chris BSuperb film. Great story of flight controllers who had life and death decisions to make every flight in space. So happy to see their stories told before they are not around.
User Review - 10/10 by Sharon BI am so glad I was able to view a special presentation of this incredible film!! Growing up in the Apollo era, I was always intrigued by the men on the ground wearing headsets and staring into small tv screens, who broke into applause and hugged each other at the moment they knew the mission was successful. This film tells the story of these "Unsung Heros", mostly in their own words, and with lots of photos of them at work in that special room we know as Mission Control. It shows how they reacted to failure as well as success, and how failure served to strengthen the inherent integrity each brought to this crucial part of manned space flight. It shows how they figured out how to do their jobs in this new era of space exploration, and how important teamwork was to their endeavor. It illustrates how individual dedication works to to make the sum greater than its parts. Mission Control was, and is, a crucial part of all space flight! I am grateful to have this documentary of the special individuals that gave so much of themselves to assure the success of the Apollo Special Program!!
User Review - 10/10 by Andres VHighly recommend. America really was great. The achievements those men made with what they had at the time is astounding. They truly had the right stuff.
