First man, damn that was a good movie. A real classic cinephile treat. Damn well acted, shot, directed, sound direction, script etc. Just good stuff.
The topic seemed honestly very stale and uninteresting to me, but I gave it a chance because of a good MovieBob review and I'm glad I did. I'm not usually a fan of biopic or pics about realistic space travel, but I really liked both aspects in this. The flights seemed really fresh, and for the first time ever I really, really liked watching Ryan Gosling. Claire Foy as Armstrongs wife was equally good, and they really complimented each other to create an atmosphere of quiet depths.
Highly recommended, in theater. This film will lose half of its punch watched at home.
