Exciting Film!

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2017)

The story is easy to get invested in. Love that it's based on real life figures. The racism is sometimes subtle and other times blatant, and the tension is brilliantly depicted.
At heart, the story is about forgetting socially constructed segregation to come together and to do something beyond all humans, to send a human being into space.
The three main actresses do an amazing job.
I especially love Janelle Monae's character. She's just really memorable.
And Taraji is amazing in all her scenes. One scene in particular stands out and pretty much slapped me in the face with her emotions so kudos to her for that! I'm actually gonna go back and re-watch that scene in particular.
Kevin Costner's character was also one of my favorites. He was awesome to watch.
I would watch this film again.
It's about space, women, and race.
Also a good life lesson about technology and how being the one to know how to handle new tech puts you at an advantage in the workforce.
10/10.
