What if the United States hadn't pulled the plug on Apollo, as Apple's For All Mankind imagined? Built from 2,500 hours of restored archival footage, director Avi Belkin masterfully constructs a riveting thriller around the fateful Apollo 13 mission. Unfolding through the intimate perspective of astronaut Jim Lovell and his family, and executive produced by Tom Hanks, the film tracks his lunar dreams to that distressing message: "Houston, we've had a problem." Driven by a stark, chilling sci-fi score that pulsates from the vacuum of the cosmos to a frantic Mission Control, a united planet holds its breath as geopolitical divisions briefly recede—a fragile unity the real Apollo program wouldn't outlive. A country fractured by Vietnam, social unrest, anti-science sentiment, and mounting costs shuttered America's lunar program soon after Odyssey's splashdown. Half a century on, a new Space Race of global powers and private titans has turned our eyes back to the Moon, leaving us to ponder: What if we'd never stopped? -Michelle Svenson
