  Ron Howard's epic masterpiece is presented well in this beautifully mastered DVD. Brilliantly clear with amazing sound, viewing it is like watching it in the theater, as I did in 1995, when the realistic surround sound kept you on the edge of your seat, your heart pounding. Television news footage featured throughout took me back to 1970, when I witnessed the events live, unable to leave the living room. Feeling the hair rise on the back of your neck reminds you of those same emotions of fear for the astronauts' lives, as well as awe for the technical teams whose ingenuity brought them home safely to earth. James Horner's powerful original score underlines brilliant direction by Howard. It was a collaboration of two masters bringing their best to their art.
  Bonus material gives insight into the intricacies of the task of being faithful to the original events, with interviews with the original teams carefully interspersed with Howard's cast footage.
  I highly recommend this exceptional film - it is a faithful representation of one of the most harrowing events in the Apollo program.
