“Oppy” is a salute to the best of what humans are capable when they unite in a common purpose to expand their knowledge of matters beyond the realm of the known. Read full review

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. Read full review

Once the two rovers landed, three weeks apart, problems that had never been confronted before in the history of humanity started to become routine occurrences. So did solving them, and the documentary is a warm and well-earned tribute to the brilliant scientists and engineers who did so. Read full review

If anything, Good Night Oppy could be nerdier, a little more in the weeds of the science that makes all of this possible. That’d prove a little less lightly entertaining, for some. But it’d also be true to what the movie is already about. Read full review

NASA aficionados and connoisseurs of space exploration are the groups most likely to get a kick out of Good Night Oppy, a warmly charming, if far from essential, documentary that takes a look back at the robotic Martian rover Opportunity. Read full review

While depicting a landmark moment in humanity’s efforts to understand our place in the universe, Good Night Oppy renders the rovers’ journeys with such oppressive sentimentality terms that it can be hard to feel the full weight of the awe and wonder the movie drops into your lap. Read full review

Recreated footage of the rovers flying to, landing on, and carefully exploring the red planet tend to be the most engrossing material in White’s scattershot documentary, which too often tries to humanize the rovers’ handlers by playing up their emotions instead of their accomplishments.

An entertaining and informative look at the work of the Opportunity rover on Mars. I liked that whole approach, but what did get on my nerves was the attempt at emotional manipulation towards the end when the rover stopped responding after a huge dust storm.

I liked that whole approach, but what did get on my nerves was the attempt at emotional manipulation towards the end when the rover stopped responding after a huge dust storm. Did they really want us to feel sad about a robot? That was a little weird.

Nonetheless, if you have Prime Video, go see it.… Expand

O documentário tenta a todo instante, com uma trilha sonora melodramática, humanizar a relação com os robôs que vão explorar o território de Marte, coisa que um "Wall-E" consegue fazer com tamanha facilidade.

Deste modo, sobram frases de efeito e até mesmo uma selfie que o robô teve que fazer vira motivo de comoção, como se não fosse também para registrar o momento histórico de desbravamento.
Sobre Marte? Bem, tem nuvem de poeira e "possivelmente" teve água.… Expand
