Stunning, moving biopic with a couple of quirks

Rating: 8/10 (12 October 2018)

I have to say overall the movie was very moving and feels like a real love letter to a seminal character in what would have to be considered the most amazing thing we have ever done as a species.
The acting was reserved and powerfully moving. The story focuses on the real human element but without missing on the visceral experience of the build up to the moon landing and the landing itself.
There were a couple of quirks, namely that Gemini is and always has been pronounced Gem-in-eye not Gem-in-ee and it feels really strange every time that pronounce it incorrectly. That probably wont annoy most people but, well, it kind of irritated me. Also oddly the camera work was not stable through most of the film. It may have been a stylistic choice I am not sure but that seemed kind of odd.
Even so those are pretty minor gripes in an otherwise excellent movie, well worth your time to watch.
