A 100% Tomatometer winner, which I'd call a "pure" documentary: a compilation of footage (some previously unseen) of man's first lunar mission, and except for a few soundtrack notes ... nothing else. No narrator, no manipulating sound-image juxtaposition, no directorial point-of-view, nothing. And amazingly, it’s still engaging. Similar to last year's dramatized version, First Man, the fascinating historical moment is how they landed the lunar module seconds before exhausting fuel; but also similar to how between another 100% documentary, Man on Wire, and its counterpart, The Walk, I preferred the dramatized version, here again ... I’d go with First Man.
