Jeffrey O Movie was extremely boring. Movie, if i can call it that, had the goal to show Neil had some weird psychological issues.. Probably because all the Apollo crew were forced to pretend they went to the moon and thus some couldn't cope with that lie well thus they were forever damaged goods. This movie doesnt deserve the high score it has here. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/10/25 Full Review Bernadette J That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind. The U.S.A. flag should have been included. Armstrong was representing the U.S.A. Republic and wasn't just about him, and our taxpayer money paid for this. U.S. citizens were glued to the floor model TVs. I was 8 years old and we had to watch this with Walter Cronkite hosting this historical phenomenon. Movie was too slow and too fragmented, close-ups were too much. I like Ryan Gosling which is why I gave 3 stars. Special effects, not impressed. Alien movie (1st movie w/Sigourney Weaver) special effects for space travel was absolutely excellent. This movie was empty and dry. Felt no chemistry with any of the actors. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/04/25 Full Review Benyamin M Damien Chazelle never misses with his movies. And It shows with First Man. This is a great movie with insane visual effects and cinematography. And will be Damien Chazelle's best looking movie. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/25 Full Review Kevin P My Grandma was in the same class as Neil Armstrong at Purdue University and she said that he was actually pretty charismatic and every girl had a crush on him. Now I’m sure the death of his daughter and teammates in addition to all the rigorous space training had a large effect on emotions, as many historical accounts talk about his more quiet/subdued side, but I feel like the movie could’ve played more into a transition/contrast of emotion from being more charismatic and open to slowly becoming more broken and emotionally guarded. It was also kind of odd how they sidelined Buzz Aldrin for a good chunk of the movie and gave Jan Armstrong (a woman from Illinois) a somewhat southern accent. But despite those gripes, I still really enjoyed the movie for how riveting the tension was, how fresh the realism was, and just how fantastic the cinematography was at really putting the audience in these astronauts’ shoes (or suit in this case). Neil Armstrong’s performance at times is greatly subtle with his guarded emotions, but often too robotic and emotionless during a good chunk of the movie. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/13/24 Full Review Stephen O Shows a sad side to Neil Armstrong that has never been depicted in film. He’s the first man - a man isolated, grieving, and trying to keep a strong front; unable to be vulnerable with his wife, kids, friends, or the media. It’s a triumph that he survived, yet a tragedy in that he’ll always be a man alone. The lack of dialogue conveys his lack of interpersonal connection, while the turbulent sound effects and music score communicate his own inner turmoil. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/13/24 Full Review Brad M This is not a sci-fi it's a drama. The story was very good and gosling was exceptional. Def. Worth watching.
