Took my 20 year-old son to watch it at Broughton Cineworld last night on the IMAX screen.
Interesting watch and wonderfully shot. Sound on take-off was great. My lad thought it was great.
He did have the temerity to point out afterwards the primary demographic of the audience.....I.e only a handful under 50 years old.....

It's a pity how quickly things go out of the public mind. At 42 years old I was born a few years after the Apollo programme finished, and grew up with the Shuttle, Mir, ISS, and unmanned probes such as Voyager. However, I am still in awe of pretty much every aspect of the whole Apollo programme - what an astonishing achievement on so many levels, and from a human perspective what incredible images and stories it's given us. I don't want to make this thread political, but equally I worry at the moment that the evils of extreme nationalism and wall building are out of the public mind now; WWII, the Berlin Wall etc all seem to be fading from memory, and even perhaps the Gulf War. People have such short memories!Interesting watch and wonderfully shot. Sound on take-off was great. My lad thought it was great.

Saw it last night as well, absolutely magnificent.
The only slight wrinkle I have was how they cut the landing sequence down so heavily, I would've liked to have seen a little more of the engine light and orientation sequence. But that's a very, very minor quibble with a tremendous effort. Will definitely buy when it's out on disk.
