Review of For All Mankind (1989) by Jeff D — 16 Jul 2009

For All Mankind is a textbook example of the importance of editing in documentary features. This brisk movie could have been merely a series of NASA highlights but director Al Reinert shapes the pre-existing footage into something brand new and a must see.

For All Mankind is a 20-year-old film about a 40-year-old event that will remain watchable for the rest of time.
