Good Night Oppy

"A tale full of spirit and a celebration of scientific endeavour..."

"For large segments of its running time, Good Night Oppy is more than just a documentary; it’s an animated film as well — and a hugely entertaining one at that."

"Cute to a fault..."

"By the end of Good Night Oppy, Opportunity and Spirit have become no less lovable as characters than R2-D2 or Wall-E."

"Warmly charming, if far from essential..."

"The rovers and what they did are famous. The MER staffers are not. Their dedication and commitment to the mission are inspiring."

"Don’t be surprised if it turns a kid you know into a rocket obsessive, perhaps even a future space explorer."

"It’s a glossy advertisement for NASA and JPL... but it comes by its waves of emotion honestly."

"Verges into cloying territory..."

"Fascinating stuff."

"Warm and engaging..."

"The movie is practically a companion piece for the Matt Damon movie The Martian; they share a bright outlook, a problem solver’s delight at the labour of thinking through it all."

"Captivating..."

"The vulnerability and passion of the engineers are what makes this documentary special."
