First Man

Not your typical space movie. This story is about Neil Armstrong and the experiences he dealt with leading up to the moon landing. It’s dark in tone but full of heart. Chazelle is one of the directors working in Hollywood, and this is something I highly recommend. 8.5/10

9/10
Powerful movie. Damien Chazelle and Justin Hurwitz simply do not miss. The story and the soundtrack were phenomenal in their own rights. Gosling was good, but Claire Foy stole the show in my opinion. Her performance left me floored. Highly recommend to anyone

A look into the humble and engineer-centric mind and life of Neil Armstrong. This is a movie about Neil’s hardships through his participation of the space race, and not a film about the space race itself. Both Gosling and Foy do excellent jobs as Neil and Janet Armstrong.

Slooowwwwww

so. unbelievably. slow.

Did not realize that it is a movie pretty much 85% about dealing with grief. I was (dumbly) expecting more of a hidden figures vibe?

Great sound design and visuals. More of a show don’t tell movie focus by on Neil Armstrong as a person and his hardships with the space race more of a background. Good not great a bit slow.
