Could have been better

Rating: 5/10 (11 February 2019)

This well meaning but flawed movie is still interesting. The screenplay is hard to follow at times. This movie is for people who know a bit about the characters and events already. If you want a clear and thorough depiction of the moon landing watch the series From the Earth to the Moon. The camera work is shaky when it doesn't need to be.
This movie doesn't glamourize things. It shows the physical trauma during training and landing.
Ryan plays it strong and silent. A bit too expressionless. Claire Foy looks worried as his wife though she is written very assertive for that time. Also her hair style is so severe. Jason Clark as Ed White who was killed is miscast. Looks too evil.
The landing is well recreated and the best part of the movie.
