The true story of how the Parkes Radio Telescope was used to relay the live television of man's first steps on the moon, during the Apollo 11 mission in 1969.

L.A. Weekly by F. X. Feeney

Surprisingly moving -- prompting lumps in the throat over what was, after all, a historic moment of the most luminous hope.

TV Guide Magazine by Ken Fox

The cast is wonderful, the soundtrack features a well-chosen array of bouncy period pop tunes, and Graeme Wood's cinematography makes the most of the stately beauty of the dish itself.

83

Portland Oregonian by Kim Morgan

Appropriate music, lovely cinematography and stellar performances by both a subtly moving Neill and a likable, barrel-chested super-American Warburton.

88

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert

It placed second for the People's Choice Award at the 2000 Toronto Film Festival--after "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." That's about right.

75

USA Today by Susan Wloszczyna

Dramatically moving and good-naturedly humorous, it transmits a sharp picture of humanity that inspires both awe and laughter.
