Fly me to the moon

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2018)

What the movie does do is to give you the feeling of what it really felt like inside the space craft, where every hour was life-threatening and the outcome was always perilous. Director Damien Chazelle's emphasis on realism and Ryan Gosling's amazing performance fly us to the moon. It doesn't matter that we know how Armstrong's missions ended, you will still find yourself wondering if the crew survives. The cinematography gives you a taste of both confined spaces and the vastness of space in a very intimate way. It is a breathtaking character study that reminds us exactly why we still love to watch movies. And the truth is that "First Man" is so amazing technically that it demands viewing on a big screen. nikisreviews.gr
