Raw, inspiring and timely look at Mans greatest achievement

Rating: 9/10 (15 December 2018)

I was really captured by this movie. In this modern age of futuristic and technologically advanced space companies starting to take centre stage, we have forgotten the crude but effective machines that got us to the moon in the 1960's. I found the descent to the moon to be one of the most dramatic and emotionally charged movie sequences I have experienced. I couldn't help but be completely awestruck by this depiction of one of the greatest moments in human history. The character study of Neil Armstrong prior to this helps put you in the tension of the moment. This may be as close as we will ever get to knowing what might have been running through his head as he landed on the moon. First Man is a "warts and all" depiction of the mission to land men on the moon. Imperfect human beings using crude technology to get to the moon, and then back home to Earth. We did this......Wow!
