Unwatchable due to cinematography

Rating: 1/10 (20 October 2018)

I've never had such visceral dislike for a movie before.
Entire film ran on one giant amateurish gimmick: over-the-top shaky cam coupled with extreme facial close-ups. This was so pointlessly nausea-inducing throughout that I regret not walking out at multiple points. Hoping for a climatic ending, or for even one poignant frame of the 'pale blue dot', was a mistake: neither happens.
They were going for a character study, I get it. But the narrative was so emotionally tone-deaf that it robs the characters of redeemable (or even human) qualities. We feel neither connection nor empathy to root for them. Even in their worst, most vulnerable moments, it just feels exploitative and invasive.
The only achievement here is how the filmmakers took a subject as awe-inspiring and majestic as spaceflight and managed to churn it into melodrama.
Forego 2.5 hours of discomfort and read Apollo Program's Wikipedia page instead.
