	Author	Review
United States	Caryn James The New York Times	"Oddly, its realism works better than its imagination (...) It fails to generate the sense of wonder its creators take for granted (...) Hanks brings clarity and freshness to the episodes"	NEU
United States	Ray Richmond Variety	"An extraordinary piece of filmmaking that compellingly captures the passion and vision of exec producer/co-writer/co-director/actor Tom Hanks (...) The spirit and vitality of 'From the Earth' (...) make for a true TV event"	POS
United States	Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly	"[It lends] history an irresistible allure (...) Its virtues are real (...) There is something exhilarating about this miniseries’ bright-eyed idealism"	POS
United States	Chris Kaltenbach Baltimore Sun	"'From the Earth to the Moon' is nothing if not commendable (...) But the miniseries never seems to get below that surface, never moves beyond the obvious"	NEU
United States	Time	"Worthy and well crafted, but dull (...) [It] induces a state of cognitive dissonance. The acting is first-rate; the details look right; still, the overall effect is boredom."	NEU
