Very Watchable Movie - Shame about the rushed ending

Rating: 7/10 (14 October 2018)

First Man held my attention from start to finish - always a good sign - but the final scenes from leaving the moon to isolation periods were rushed, and hugely disappointing - putting two men on the moon was one thing - getting them back quite another - a missed opportunity to make the film an all around great watch.
One might instead want to argue that the movie was about Neil Armstrong the person. This makes for a difficult topic because reports have it that Armstrong was chosen to be first man on the moon because of his introversion and lacking in external ego which makes for a challenging script - but raises interesting questions - the choice of Buzz Aldrin as partner was influenced by Neil Armstrong
Jim Lovell - why was this - what was their relationship? The movie places more focus on the Apollo 1 astronaughts and Mrs Armstrong so we never really get to find out much about the relationships across the three folk riding Apollo 11 - shame.
