The Last Man on the Moon

Tales of remarkable men in extraordinary times.

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.

Cernan is an interesting guy -- interesting in himself and interesting as a type.

The filmmakers, attempting to jazz up their material, get in the way a lot.

The film traces Cernan's career trajectory, going back to his days in San Diego as a hot-shot naval aviator, blending terrific archival footage with contemporary perspectives to quietly poetic effect.

You already know the history told in "The Last Man on the Moon," but this story just never grows old.

Funny, thoughtful and self-aware, [Gene Cernan] is a wonderful raconteur with a fabulous turn of phrase.

Awe-inspiring, insightful docu spotlights American astronaut

It seems everything you remember from The Right Stuff was true. The Apollo astronauts worked hard, studied hard, and played hard.

A biographical tale that captures more than just the story.

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.
