A film of visuals and determination with the power to land.

Rating: 7/10 (16 October 2018)

Space movies are okay, and this one was a historical biopic which had me in as I like history and people. It's well done from director Damien Chazelle for it's telling of the life and times of 1961 thru 1969 of one Neil Armstrong(in a pretty good performance from Ryan Gosling). As it goes right up to Armstrong's landing on the moon. The scenes and close takes of aircraft and space images rival that of "2001 A Space Odyssey".
Still the film is of inner mystery and life showing the cost and risk of space travel as it takes power, will, and determination to orbit a dangerous mission. Many scenes are intense and a struggle still the film is a journey of passion and desire. As the landing on the moon is the accomplishment and you the viewer feel some of the same joy that the central character feels after the landing which is a true accomplishment.
