Interesting But Slow

Rating: 6/10 (15 October 2018)

I saw "First Man", starring Ryan Gosling-La La Land, Lars and the Real Girl; Claire Foy-Vampire Academy, Season of the Witch; Jason Clarke-Winchester, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes and Corey Stoll-The Strain_tv, Salt.
This movie is based on Neil Armstrong's life and specifically, the years from 1961 through 1969. Neil was the first man to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969-that is what the title of the film is referring to, First Man. Ryan plays Neil, Claire is his wife, Jason is Ed White and Corey is Buzz Aldrin. The story covers the trials and errors in the process leading up to the monumental space mission, including some of the astronauts' personal family matters. It is a little slow in parts but it is an interesting story.
It's rated "PG-13" for peril and language and has a running time of 2 hours & 21 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD but it would be alright, as a rental.
