Crafted from a newly discovered trove of 65mm footage, and more than 11,000 hours of uncatalogued audio recordings, Apollo 11 takes us straight to the heart of NASA's most celebrated mission-the one that first put men on the moon, and forever made Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin into household names. Immersed in the perspectives of the astronauts, the team in Mission Control, and the millions of spectators on the ground, we vividly experience those momentous days and hours in 1969 when humankind took a giant leap into the future. Extras: Apollo 11, Crafting the Score Cue Walkthrough with Composer Matt Morton: Transearth Injection Discovering the 65mm Review: One Giant Leap For Bluray! - Apollo 11 is a 2019 documentary based on the rocket flight of the same name. Anyone familiar with history knows that this flight was the first to feature a moon landing, an amazing accomplishment for humankind. The film was directed, edited and produced by director Todd Douglas Miller. The film is ninety three minutes long and consists solely of real archival footage from the Apollo 11 flight. This film throws out every standard set by previous documentaries and features absolutely no narration or interviews. None whatsoever. It is quite literally the story of the three legendary astronauts Buzz Aldrin, Michael Collins and Neil Armstrong on their trip to and from the moon using cleaned up footage and some rare never before seen 70mm film. To say that Apollo 11 is an absolute treat on the eyes is an understatement. To see all this footage (which we've all seen many times) in such high quality made me speechless. The detail makes the film look quite surreal, like you're not actually watching real launch footage. This is because of the clarity of the whole thing. Most of the footage looks like it could have been shot at a landing in the digital era. The amount of detail on the pad, the tower and the rocket itself is impressive and brings everything forward in time. My favourite part of the film is lift off. The colourful and beauty behind the powerful explosion looks immense. But also the tension in the group landing on Earth and mission control waiting to hear if they had made it. Utterly fantastic. The pacing of the movie is something I was extremely impressed with. I'm a fan of space movies and Apollo 13 is a big favourite of mine. I was surprised that the film flowed very much like that piece of fiction. The build up to launch, shooting up to orbit, flying around and landing on the moon to the trip home. It all went by VERY quickly and I didn't realise how much time had past until the three astronauts were ready to head back home. The lack of narrator really lets the visual element pop. It tells a story perfectly and is a great example of why modern cinema's desire to tell the plot at every given opportunity just isn't required here or in any other movie. It even made me feel nervous as we waited for the astronauts to touch down in the sea. I knew what happened, I've seen it many times but the way the film drags you in, it made you forget you were watching something you've already seen dozens of times before. As someone who has always enjoyed watching archival space launch footage and always took the time to watch the shuttles go up, I appreciate the effort that has went into this film. It clearly had a lot of love put into it and should be archived itself. It's a beautiful documentary that is a testament to what these three men and all the amazing people involved achieved. If you're a spaceman at heart like myself, this is a must buy.

Seeing such a crisp rendition of the Apollo 11 launch (and preparatory footage) is astonishing after having seen only muddy and damaged prints in the past! As well as the stunning hi-res, there are extended lower resolution segments featuring footage captured in (oddly enough) lower resolution formats - this film isn’t all mega-high quality. A great surprise, however, was the simply wonderful effort that the film collators put in to link long-ignored NASA audio records with 16mm (etc) film sequences. So, movie material which was shot with no audio track has now been reproduced with the best possible sound quality. This adds immensely to the production! I found, however, the rostrum camera shots of still images and their framing with CGI spacecraft parts to be clumsy and a bit of a waste of effort. This is a minor complaint compared to the outrageous wide angle HD footage and to the uniquely good efforts on the sound recovery front. This film made my purchase of a 4K projector worthwhile! ## Frequently Bought Together - Apollo 11 [DVD] - Apollo 11 Moon Landing: 50th Anniversary Collection [DVD] [2019] - From the Earth to the Moon [Signature Edition Boxset] [DVD] [1998] [2006] --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/142517474-apollo-11-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/142517474-apollo-11-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
