A disappointment

Rating: 5/10 (2 February 2019)

Although First Man showed a unique perspective on the character of Neil Armstrong, it lacked something. It was obvious that scenes in the various space vehicles were designed to be from the pilot's point of view, coupling them with more traditional outside scenes would have made it more interesting to watch. Many viewers who watch this to relive the glamorous photography and technological wonders of the Gemini and Apollo space programs will be disappointed. I did learn things about the life of Neil Armstrong that I did not know before assuming this is an accurate representation. The musical score also did not seem to fit the film. At times it sounds more like an old 1950s Sci-Fy movie and leaves one feeling more depressed about the incredible achievements being made.Glad I did not spend the high price of actually going to a theater.
