Movie Reviews of The Dish
Movie Review: Wonderful film celebrates role of engineers and scientists
Summary: 5 Stars
This true story captures the tribulations of running at the edge of science when a remote radio antenna crew in Australia find themselves playing a critical role in the first moon landing.The films gentle humour and family themes will be enjoyed by any audience. However, anyone who has struggled behind the stage with complex technology in support of great public commitments will have a special appreciation for the scientists and engineers at the Parks Radio Telescope.
In the background, all the excitement of the Apollo mission to the moon is relived in a way that I found true to my original experience.
This is a truly enjoyable film.
Movie Review: Terrific for all nations
Summary: 5 Stars
I was flying at 30,000 feet on Iceland Air when I saw this movie. At the time I had never heard of it. My husband works with radars so I thought I'll watch it. [....] As an American I still found lots to love about this picture. I am almost 40, but remember very little in detail about my 7th summer. I however share in the pride and worldwide anticipation that this film protrays. Any baby boomer should hear another side of this wonderful story of cooperation and accomplishment. My husband and his co-workers can't wait for the American DVD release.Movie Review: great movie

i am a graduate student studying astrophysics, and i see pretty much any space movie that comes out. i saw this with several colleagues from NASA Goddard, and we all agreed that this really was a fantastic movie. i don't know why it didn't get more acclaim in the US because it really is first rate. the acting is good. the character development is good. the camera work is good. the story line is good (and factual). i can't say enough good things about this movie. ranks right up there with the right stuff, Apollo 13, and contact.Movie Review: wonderful movie
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched this movie with my 6 and 9 year old sons, and we all enjoyed it. I'm disappointed to learn that it departed from the actual events in a variety of ways. However, it it was still fun to watch and had some serious ideas and a bit of the truth about real science and space missions. It's hard to find movies like that which are suitable for kids. I'd like to read the real story; a site which was critical of the movie recommends the following book: Tracking Apollo to the Moon by Hamish Lindsay.Movie Review: A spectacular small film!
Summary: 5 Stars
I watched the story of Apollo 11 in real time, in 1969, and this film brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it. Don't let it's quiet approach deceive you though since this story has its base in NASA fact and you'll even see clips of the real old TV pictures. It answered for us the question of the delay in seeing Neil descend the stairs that night in July. The film is sprinkled with funny characters who stay true to the times and the hair styles! A wonderful "feel good" movie to watch anytime.
