The Last Man on the Moon Reviews
The Last Man on the Moon covers a lot of ground.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 20, 2019
You know the history of the Apollo missions, but if a man who's been on the moon is telling you the story, you listen.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 4, 2019
[The Last Man on the Moon] is humbling, poignant, hard-hitting, and emotionally charged, on top of being aesthetically rich and visually beautiful.

Beyond the history, stunning archive footage and talking heads, the film gets deep into Cernan's mind to reveal the sacrifices the Apollo guys - and their families - made to ensure they had the right stuff.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 2, 2017
Funny, thoughtful and self-aware, [Gene Cernan] is a wonderful raconteur with a fabulous turn of phrase.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 7, 2016
Awe-inspiring, insightful docu spotlights American astronaut
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 12, 2016
It seems everything you remember from The Right Stuff was true. The Apollo astronauts worked hard, studied hard, and played hard.
| Original Score: 4/5 | May 18, 2016
A biographical tale that captures more than just the story.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 10, 2016
Mark Craig's film is all the more affecting for weaving such achingly personal testimony into what is a thoroughly absorbing account of the last great era of human endeavour.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 8, 2016
A terrific documentary directed by Mark Craig and executive-produced by Sir Jackie Stewart, among others.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 7, 2016
The Last Man on the Moon is a compelling, artful and fantastically straight-faced documentary portrait of the now 82-year-old Eugene Cernan.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 7, 2016
Craig's film deals with the fallout of the era - and how the returning heroes kept their feet on the ground - but he can't help but get swept up in the romance of the effort.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2016
Shines a light on a charismatic, courageous - some might say foolhardy - thrill-seeker.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 7, 2016
Given the wealth of footage available, you can't really go wrong with docs on the Apollo era - and yet amongst all that, Cernan is compellingly frank about the human costs of spaceflight.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 7, 2016
An instant classic not to be missed.
| Original Score: 10/10 | Apr 6, 2016
Tales of remarkable men in extraordinary times.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2016
Cernan is a wise, warm presence, and the specifics of his story are extraordinary enough to withstand the somewhat hackneyed treatment.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 4, 2016
Thanks to its expert blend of home movies, newsreels, NASA footage and extensive recollections by Cernan, his family and fellow astronauts, this ranks among our very best space documentaries.
| Original Score: 4 of 5 | Mar 23, 2016
Cernan knows how to spin a great yarn, and if you do zone out for a moment, he can quickly reel you back in with the time he nearly died on his Gemini 9 mission or the surprisingly fierce politics behind his being chosen for the Apollo 10 crew.

This is the documentary the man deserves.
