Review of Apollo 11

Apollo 11 (I) (2019)
7/10
Soundtrack kills a beautiful experience

Warning: Spoilers
Trivia states: "The electronic music soundtrack was played entirely on instruments available in 1969." But it sure sounds like they're using a 2019 Korg Minilogue which mimics the 1969 analogue Moog. And it totally takes anyone who listened to any moog in 1969 watching today out of the picture when you hear the yes "too loud soundtrack." (as another reviewer stated)

This seemed like it was going to be a magnificent cinema verite at the beginning, using only real sounds of the time, but they creators fell into the old bugaboo fearing viewers would be bored when the space scenes had no real recorded sound. Then they dump in the bogue audio and you realize: I guess I'm too old for the intended audience.

Even fake rocket sounds would have been better... Or bleeps, bloops and a theremin...
