What a dreary mess

Rating: 2/10 (13 September 2019)

If you want a dreary portrayal of one of the most interesting periods in history, great. But the NASA astronauts, officials, spouses and staff were not mopey hangdog mutes who lived without decent lighting. All other accounts of this period offer a much fuller and less bleak picture. How did the filmmakers make a film about a great victory for mankind into something so dark, depressing and sad?
