Curiously intimate study of a deeply stoic character.

Rating: 8/10 (8 June 2020)

Phenomenal, starkly realistic depiction of the events leading up to the Apollo 11 moon landing and the historic trip itself. Really gets into the characters and personalities of the astronauts and families, especially of course protagonist Neil Armstrong. Unlike "Apollo 13" which is great, this movie really puts you there, from the opening sequence of an Armstrong supersonic test flight out of the atmosphere.
