The Best Film of 2018

Rating: 9/10 (20 December 2018)

This is the best film not just of the year, but one of the best of the 21st century. Let's be clear from the start: This is not a film about Apollo 11. This is a film about Neil Armstrong, his personal life, and the events leading up to and including the Apollo 11 mission. This is an emotional, action-filled and incredibly dramatic retelling of one of the greatest feats man has ever accomplished. The acting is brilliant, especially from Gosling and Foy (Stoll is also very good as Aldrin), it is beautifully shot, the score is great, and the flying sequences are excellent. Anyone who doesn't like this film is either an idiot (who on earth cares that they didn't show the flag being put down-my God, America is still a great country without the shot of the flag being put in having to be shown!), or just plain stupid looking just for action. This is a great film.
