Lately the documentaries/mini-drama series has become a genre that I enjoy a lot because they allow me to see different events directly without any deviations or changes in the story from elements that only seek to make it more "entertaining", yes, I am one of those people who like to see the facts told as realistically as possible so they can better connect with the plot and the characters, However, many times it is a complicated thing to connect with well-known stories that have been exploited hundreds of times in different movies and series, in fact, I almost never do it, but this time I have done it in a wonderful way with a film that takes the theme of the first trip to the Moon to a totally incredible level.

However, this film stands out for the new material that it incorporates into its plot, an unpublished material that had been kept hidden by those who participated in the first Lunar trip and that has now been used to give more strength to a really fascinating story.

Apollo 11 is a film that takes the theme of the first moon landing to a totally different territory through dynamic sequences created from the inclusion of new material, a material that lets us see some of the most important and entertaining moments that marked one of the most important events in the history of humanity. It is really fascinating to see how all this new graphic video material gives a more intense and real touch to the different testimonies and recreations that were used to develop this film.

Skeptics will surely say that this new material was also fabricated, but believe me, it is difficult to reproduce something so genuine and that conveys so much emotion and realism. In this film, all the material is amazing because it lets us explore things that we didn't know before about the first trip to the Moon, things that had never been told before and that were kept hidden for years. This is without a doubt a film that reminds me a lot of Gravity and Interstellar because of the amazing rhythm it manages to build through a spatial premise where there are not many surprising or super exciting moments, here the exciting thing is the whole set, the whole trip, all the preparation; basically here we see how different pieces well placed give life to a wonderful plot.

Technically this is a perfect movie, everything is developed to come alive by itself, nothing is forced and on the contrary, we find that the different testimonies and scenes are created in a personal way to give that more attractive touch to something that has already been exploited too many times. This is a very entertaining movie to watch, a movie that feels like a great musical concert where we know which song is going to sound but even so we want to hear for how wonderful it is, everything looks wonderful with a dynamic plot and visual that stands out in every minute that passes. #
