Movie Reviews of Man In Space: U.S. Air Force Manned Space Projects
Movie Review: Man In Space - what could have been...
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great 'doco' DVD for space buffs. It has archive footage from USAF promotional films where the film stock has survived in fairly good condition. The scenes introducing the Dynasoar and Blue Gemini Astronauts are classics of 60's military kitsch, but the footage of project Man High and Joe Kittinger are just awesome.
Includes some audio commentary to 'fill in' for the silent footage, a nice touch and the comentater is obviously 'one of us' with a love of all things from the 60's USA space program.
If you are a space buff then this will be a classic in your collection - if you are just curious then it may take up too much valuable shelf space...
