Screenplay ruined this movie

Rating: 3/10 (19 October 2018)

This movie has two stories. However, they are not aligned or merged into one. The storyline to the moon is paper thin. In the movie, Armstrong was just be there but provided no participation. There is no story line for all supporting actors. They just like a walking full size paper cut dolls. Their lines did nothing to the story. You cannot remember who they are and what they had done with Armstrong and this story line occupy 3/4 of the story in the movie.
The second story is the love story between Mr. and Mrs. Armstrong. There are issues between these two persons who they love each other. The director put a lot close up on Gosling and Foy to express the tension between them. However, the story did not give them the room to express or carry the story. We all know that they bear the pain from the lose child but they never converse or transform. The story also did not tell us the impact to two remaining kids from their tension. The family has no dynamic among them. They are just 4 people living under one roof. What a shame.
