Good for kids?: Older kids, yes Director Richard Linklater returns to his beloved rotoscoping animation format for this sweet nostalgia trip back to 1969. Inspired by his own childhood in Houston in the 1960s, "Apollo 10½: A Space Age Childhood" pairs a showy framing device about a kid astronaut with a slice-of-life look at suburbia on the edge of the Space Race.
Good for kids?: Yes This heartwarming 2016 drama turned a long-overdue spotlight on some of the most important figures of the space race: Three brilliant Black women whose determination, intelligence and skill made it possible for us to put a man on the moon. Taraji P. Henson plays the trailblazing Katherine Johnson, a gifted mathematician working for NASA whose experiences with prejudice can’t stop her from changing the world.
Good for kids?: No Like Sam Rockwell? Well, there’s a lot of him in "Moon," a compelling sci-fi mystery in which Rockwell plays Sam Bell, an employee of a space corporation in a near-future timeline.He’s stuck alone on the moon with only an obsequious robot for company, working a three-year shift that’s almost at an end. And he seems to be going a bit stir-crazy so that final day can’t come soon enough.
Good for kids: yes This acclaimed 2019 documentary is jaw-dropping in its simplicity – no narration, no interviews, no cheesy recreations. The archival footage is all you get, but when it’s archival footage of the Apollo 11 mission, what more do you need?
