Talking insects aside, the film stays pretty faithful to the events of the Apollo mission, including some of the technical problems.

Those kids' movie moments aside, it's not bad. Fairly well. Talking insects aside, the film stays pretty faithful to the events of the Apollo mission, including some of the technical problems.
