Solid film.

Rating: 8/10 (18 October 2018)

This movie was very interesting to me as I knew very little about the moon landing and Neil Armstrong's life prior to this. I found the performances great especially from Claire foy and Ryan. Could he potential Oscars but I think he a star is born leads beat them sadly I think. The cinematography was brilliant especially in the space scenes. One issue I have with this film, although not really, is that the quality was not great and a bit fuzzy, I recognise this was for affect and to get the 60s feel more, and in some aspects i liked it. But I kinda wanted a very clear picture at times. In addition to this, I feel some sequences and things were dragged out a little too long, and could have been shortened. I felt the movie was a bit too long. I also like how this is not just some pushing of agenda, telling us this is all true. Although I do believe it is all true and man did walk on the moon, it doesn't really rely on that and need you to believe it. It's just a nice story (with the small chance it's not true) of a man and a portion of his life that led to him making history. This is a great film for all ages, although one use of the F word, and some darker themes about death etc but I think this is suitable for young teens and that and teach them about such a huge milestone in human history, although not their typical action/superhero movie i still believe they'll find it interesting as I did. Recommend this highly
