If you want to hear someone saying "I'm feeling great" in Russian a hundred and fifty thousand times, this is the film for you. For everyone else: You should avoid it.
My god! It's not often that someone manages to take a really interesting subject and make it into a snooze fest. There was a real opportunity here. I love the space race, and I would've loved to see a documentary that finally did justice to the Russian part of it. But no. Instead you get an hour and a half of NASA stock footage, with Russian radio recordings as "voice-over"... With subtitles.
Need I go on?
