What a ride!

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2018)

Loved this movie. From the nail-biting opening test flight sequence to the triumphant denouement, I was enthralled. While I imagine some artistic license was taken with a few of the Apollo mission's back room details, the movie provided an absorbing insight into why it was so important (spoiler alert - to get one up on the Russians); and how the focus and commitment of the astronauts affected their families. The film was long but felt short. The photography was breathtaking. The flight sequences tense and believable. Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy were amazing together.
Go see this and get a different slant on an event that changed the world.
