From the Earth to the Moon (2005, DVD)

This is a great series, very entertaining. Plus you can sneak some education in on your kid without them even knowing it. My 9 yr old loves it. We have the set on video and just had to replace it on dvd.

Very well made. If you have a lot of space interests, and like the history in mankinds greatest quest, you will like this whole series. From my knowledge of the moon missions, each episode is very accurate. I took it on vacation and watched one dvd each night. Any history buff will enjoy this.

fantastic HBO series concerning the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo missions of the 60's and 70's. I already owned this set, but purchased and extra to give to my father. Breaks down the entire goings on of NASA during this time with an all star cast, and hosted by Tom Hanks. Should be required viewing for School Systems.

It is a great DVD set at a great price. The family watches it over and over again. Such a proud period of time for all Americans.

Okay, I have to be honest here, I bought this DVD box set for my brother-in-law as a birthday present. My sister reports that this is the best gift he received this year. All reviews that I have read for this product have placed phenomenal praise upon this HBO production.

I'm told that "From the Earth to the Moon" is a great introduction to the space race and that my brother-in-law and his family enjoyed every minute of it. Therefore, it's well worth adding to your collection.

Excellent depiction of the Apollo program. A classic and well worth having. I would recommend it to everyone.

This is typical Tom Hanks, Great stuff. Not true to facts but close enough. I should be manditory viewing for every student be for they graduate from High School.

exactly as described, perfect condition, shipping was timely and packaging was sufficient to arrive safely

at 12 hours long you would think that there a lot of 'filler' in here but there isn't..........Excellent from start to finish---can be appreciated by anyone.......there is something here for everyone

I work at the Kennedy Space Center, and after watching this I notice more about the history of the space program, that in the past I just overlooked. I would recommend this program to anybody that has any interest at all, in either the history of the space program, or the few great men that gave so much for the future of everyone.

It was a good series about the moon and the atomspere. There was really nothing to dislike about it as long as you like that kind of information. Because it is a Tom Hanks movie and I am a collector of his work.

I had seen this on TV years ago and recently saw one episode on a commercial channel and loved it! Can't stand commercials though, (even with TIVO), so decided to buy and it is worth every penny. I plan to watch it again with my 8-year old granddaughter. Bet she will like it too since it is ageless and timeless.

Has some great performances, seems to play it straight with the facts of the time, and captures the adventure and danger of space pioneers.

A great series of the Human Goal of reaching the Moon, but who cares now that we have Brittney, Paris Hilton, Anna Nicole Smith, and the Lohans to follow. I loved this series very educational!!!!

Just writing for clarification. Tom Hanks did NOT win an Oscar playing Jim Lovell. He won two Best Actor Oscars, however, for "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump." Mr. Hanks was GREAT as Jim Lovell, but I don't even think he was nominated for "Apollo 13." -- Schlaje

The DVDs of Tom Hank's"From the Earth to the Moon" is fantastic!!!!!!!!
it gives a new view to the effort to land a man on the Moon!
I am glad I did not pass this collection up !!!

This is an excellent miniseries - it has great actors, but it also stays true to the historical records of the Apollo missions. There is drama, there is comedy, and it is all true. Every episode of the series is great, but my personal favorites are from missions usually not focused upon: Apollo 9, Apollo 12, and Apollo 14. There is also a great episode that is about the wives of the astronauts.

I bought a set for my home last year and bought another set to give to my father-in-law for Christmas this year. Worth every penny!

I have yet to receive it almost one month later. Currently being reviewed by Paypal. I would definitely avoid the seller in the future. Hopefully I will get my $41 back His email address is jtaylor155@cox.net

I remember when this miniseries was released on HBO, and I was riveted. The acting is superb as is the direction. It shows a time of inspiration, of hope, of enthusiasm. It shows how thousands of brilliant, dedicated, and patriotic scientists and pilots who labored tirelesssly for nine years to make JFK`s fsmous deadline, some of whom gave their lives for this great cause. It is heartwarming to such effort and technology applied to something besides war. I cherish every moment of this great series.

Great set of DVD's. Very well made and true to history, brings to light things that happened in the Space Program that public was not made aware of at the time.

This is one of the finest pieces of movie making that I've ever seen. It chronicles the US Space program from the early days of the first manned expeditions to the walk on the moon. The acting and direction is suberb. The music is also incredible, it fills you with emotion which helps bring you into the movie. You will laugh and you will cry watching this movie, it brings out so many emotions. There are 12 parts in this movie each directed by a different director, like Tom Hanks, Sally Field, Frank Marshall, and more. I personally have seen this movie 6 times and could sit and watch it another 6 times. It originally was broadcast on HBO as a mini-series and won the Golden Globe for Best Mini Series and an Emmy for Outstanding Mini Series. This is a MUST SEE movie for anyone who is interested in space exploration and superb movie making. After renting this movie 5 times to watch it, I finally broke down and bought a copy of it.

I got this for my husband and he absolutely loves it!!! Lots of extras from the previous release. I am so pleased. Thanks so much.
