Rating: 6/10 (4 November 2018)

Yes, another flight to the moon movie! But unlike all other true stories and science fiction before it, this film focuses on the life of Neil Armstrong giving a glimpse into the individual he was. This film is set apart because we now know more about him and his family including the deeper look into his wife, cheers to Claire Foy who gave a great performance. Knowing this new information, Armstrong was not the most spectacular person to get along with and his wife especially, must have been extremely patient and loving to put up with him.
The film gave more insight into the Gemini mission and what the astronauts had to withstand during their time in space. I thought the movie overdid the "puke" cam and at times I had to look away from the screen because I didn't feel well from the unsteady picture. Also, the film was overly slow in places. If the slowness was removed it would have shortened the film time a bit which would have been nice.
Overall, a nice insight into Armstrong and family. Glad I did not see in iMax or maybe I would have had to walk out due to the home movie unsteady nature of filming. Otherwise enjoyable!
