Watch the new documentary "Apollo 11" — it's all that and more.

It's got some great footage, but it's really not. In intersperses shots of mission control with footage of what's going on in the mission itself in such a way that it's hard to get a good idea of what's going on in mission control.

I was disappointed that in a 90 minute documentary they didn't show the three stages of the rocket launching in anything like real-time. It only took around 10 minutes until they were in Earth orbit[1].

Instead the 1st stage launch is shown in pretty much real-time, so you get a good feel for how long the 1st stage took. Then they show stage separation of the 2nd stage immediately followed by the separation of the 3rd stage around a minute later (in reality it took 6-7 minutes). You never see the 2nd stage light or do any work.

Any links or pointers to where it can be found? There are just a _few_ Apollo 11 documentaries coming out this year it seems...

It's light on storytelling and heavy on fly on the wall presentation. The footage is pretty great. You spend a lot of time in mission control.
