Pocket Review: should have picked a focus, guys. It wasn't
_bad_, as such, but it wandered.
I followed it up with _Apollo 13_, which I have seen loads of times.
Now, because I am obsessive, I want to see more films based on
the various space programs. Any that people here would recommend?
An interesting old one, if you can manage to get hold of it, is called
"Countdown", released in 1968. It's entirely fictional, but is based on
a genuine hypothetical plan at the time to land on the Moon using a
Gemini mated with a LM descent stage.
