There are a lot of comments about the movie being boring, and I agree that if you were looking for a space movie as exciting as Apollo 13, then this movie falls way short. However, if you are anticipating a factual, historically accurate portrayal of one of the most monumental moments in history, then this movie is for you.
I was able to walk away from this movie pleased. This movie gives a personal, in depth look into the first man to walk on the moon, about his life leading up to the lunar landing. It's raw, emotional, and doesn't use the usual Hollywood drama to make it more exciting. It would have been easy to recreate the lunar landing in a grandiose way for the audience, but much harder to portray the life of the most famous astronaut to ever live, and this film accomplished that.
