Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo Reviews
Austin Chronicle
Josh Kupecki
Mission Control is an absorbing doc that entertains and informs throughout.
Hollywood Reporter
John DeFore
Really, seeing these likable oldsters talk at length is just about the entire point of this picture.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
This is the usual mix of talking heads and archival footage, but Fairhead also inserts detailed CGI sequences that vividly illustrate the technical issues unfolding.
Los Angeles Times
Michael Rechtshaffen
A well-crafted, revealing British documentary reuniting the surviving team members entrusted with safely taking astronauts to the moon and back.
Variety
Joe Leydon
An engrossing behind-the-scenes look at the flight controllers and support crews that helped America win the space race.
Pauline Center for Media Studies
Hosea Rupprecht
This documentary, by director David Fairhead, celebrates the men of mission control, the heart of NASA.
Third Coast Review
Steven Prokopy
There are five or six former mission control personnel interviewed for the film... Each one becomes a unique and distinct character in this story, and keeps the material from getting too technical or dry.
Decider
Jade Budowski
Combining archival footage, interviews, and stunning VFX recreations, the film chronicles the hard work of the men who worked in Mission Control, the lives of astronauts they sent to space, and their efforts to save the crew of Apollo 13.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
While it never really takes off, this documentary makes a worthwhile effort to pay tribute to those behind the scenes of the Apollo space missions and their lasting impact on the American space program.
Film Journal International
Frank Lovece
Hits a piece of the spaceflight story that many other documentaries have only grazed.
