Superb movie, the haters are wrong. : )

Rating: 10/10 (4 November 2018)

I just saw this movie tonight and it was enthralling. It really gives you, in addition to a great story, the sense of having been there with Neil Armstrong through the high-flying events of his life and the Apollo 11 mission to land on the moon. It's a really enjoyable movie. For reasons, quite invalid, there are a lot of people hating on it. People have been obsessing over the several scenes where there is shaking in the cockpit, which added verisimilitude cinematically. There is a line in another work - "People are focusing more on what they do wrong than what they do right!". Nothing was done wrong in this movie, and it was done right, but people are obsessing over certain things like - though the American flag is all over this movie, on the side of the Apollo 11 Saturn 5 Rocket, and 3 shots of it planted into the moon next to the lunar module, and dozens of people waving American flags - people are obsessing that the specific shot of it being put into the moon isn't in the movie. We all know how the flag got put in the moon! And the movie is elaborately explicit that this was an American mission. So, these peculiar, petty criticisms are irrational. It's the "One giant leap for . . . " moment we all are looking forward to. Why obsess over the flag planting, people? It's in the movie, anyhoo, right there. The movie really works well as an enjoyable, entertaining, exciting drama-biographic story of Neil Armstrong's path to going to the moon and his family/the people he worked with on the way at NASA. It's a great tribute to an American hero and also our nation's highest technological achievement. Go see it, if you like heroes or space or adventure, etc. Ignore the hate. This is a big movie, like Apollo 13 and deserves well to be seen on the big screen, where it is way way more fun, and I know my iPhone or tv would never do justice to the big scope of what you see here! : )
