It received a near-perfect 99% Rotten Tomatoes score.
Prime Video just added 19 big movies to its library, which you can read about right here.
But if you need more film options tonight, here are the flicks airing on TV this evening.
Apollo 11 – Sky Showcase – 9pm
Our pick for tonight is this 2019 documentary focusing on the 1969 Apollo 11 mission, the first spaceflight from which men walked on the Moon.
Notable for its lack of feature narration or interviews and for consisting solely of archival footage – including 70mm film previously unreleased to the public – Apollo 11 earned a near-perfect 99% score on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics praising it for its “awe-inspiring” imagery.
You can watch a trailer for the documentary below.
