Very Insightful!

Rating: 8/10 (8 February 2019)

I have seen the film's trailer but couldn't watch it on big screen when it got released in India. I have watched earlier space films like Apollo 13, Gravity and Interstellar. After watching the trailer I hoped that this film will be something like Apollo 13, about the victory of human over nature and space. But after watching the First man, I must admit that I am pleasantly surprised.
This film reveals us the making of the man Neil Armstrong. What it takes to be the first man to walk on moon? How much preparation and sacrifice goes in making history? Also what happens to the family members of such historical figures? This film is touches all these aspects. And that is the USP of this film.
Technique and Craft-wise, it is quite competent on each front. Over all, It is a well made film coming from top director Damien Chazele.
