Film review: Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood

But this movie isn’t really about a plucky little boy named Stan plucked out of school by NASA and trained to fly the first lunar module, which was accidentally built two sizes too small. It’s more about the filmmaker’s memories of those crazy years when it seemed that the world might be about to end due to pollution, overpopulation and war, and anything was possible.

Roughly half the film’s 98 minutes are given over to this kind of gentle nostalgia, together with a mild how-did-we-survive-this wonderment. This was an era when seatbelts were decidedly optional, drinking and driving was legal, and there was nothing more fun than playing in the dust of a DDT spraying truck.
