A D @CutdarthVader Apr 9 This film isn't your typical Space drama. It is much more than that. It gives an insight into this very complex man and his motivations for going to the moon! He was after all an extraordinary man but yet only a man with hidden feelings! He had a tremendous loss in his daughter's death and yet he used his grief into this massive achievement. This film is not an easy watch but I have done this review after watching the film for the 3rd time. It is a slow burn but once you get it, it just overwhelms you with emotion. It is a beautiful film and great acting throughout. His wife must have been a strong woman to deal with Neil and their pain and suffering in silence! I love this film and it truly is like no other film of this Genre. Well shot, directed and acted and conveyed to us the watcher! Please give a chance this won't disappoint.

The cinematography is truly beautiful, the cast delivers excellent performances, and this is Universal Pictures' best project of 2018.

It does not feel like the polished, award bait space drama you might expect. It feels raw and intimate and deeply personal. The family drama at the centre of it is everything. Ryan Gosling plays Neil Armstrong with this quiet restraint that could easily read as cold but actually just feels real, and the domestic weight of what these astronauts and their families carried comes through in every scene. The editing inside the ships is something else entirely. It is chaotic and claustrophobic and genuinely puts you in the headspace of what these men must have actually felt strapped into a metal capsule being launched into space. Claire Foy is exceptional throughout. Knew her from The Crown but this is a completely different register, and she absolutely delivers.

It was too dark and grim for my liking. I did respect the directing of the film, it get very real and raw which I appreciated. See more Bill B @billbird2111 Feb 26 I have watched this movie once. No desire to see it again. However, upon watching a clip on YouTube I was reminded just how depressing this movie really was. Forget about the flag planting. It would not have improved upon the sadness I felt when I saw this. The moon landing was a crowing achievement for America. It's too bad that this movie does not reflect upon that. I don't think Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin were brutally depressed when they landed and walked on the moon. Yet, this movie would have you believe that. This is one of the biggest problems with it, in my opinion. See more Read all reviews
