Dilyana T @Dilyana 2h Clearly, the over-exploited theme of the first man on the Moon recreated again has to bring a new perspective and the documentary is not its main focus. The first question I asked myself was why Ryan Gosling? It makes me think Neil Armstrong's personality was the director's contribution to the topic. But is it possible that Neil Armstrong had that prince-like blue-eyed, carefree look of Barbie’s partner? Could he be that pathetic, unemotional, self-centered quasi astronaut who can only screen-capture with his eyes the Moon, Earth, and his own footprints in the moon sand, and recite a line he had written in advance?

All the fear & unknown anticipation is felt as you are placed in the rocket along side Armstrong. The score, sound editing, & cinematography shows everything in its isolated reality. Gosling’s subdued performance speaks volumes through his quiet journey through stress & grief in emotional ways. Yet it’s a one trick pony with a single tone that can be a bit stagnant & slow.

Other than being the 1st to step foot on the moon, who cares about his boring personal life? See more Steve J @Steve2112 Oct 1 Ruined opportunity to show the greatest adventure of all time. You make a movie with a personal focus when the subject matter isn’t high concept. You don’t take the most important achievement of humanity and strip away all the important elements that made it happen to focus on one person’s sad struggle. I’m pissed that another Apollo 11 will probably not be made in my lifetime because this boring piece of crap was made instead. See more Chris F @thechrisfigaro Sep 21 This could’ve been great if it focused on the mission and public perception of the moon landing instead of dragging through family drama. The film feels depressing. It tries to paint Neil as a family man, but knowing he was emotionally distant, divorced, and remarried quickly, that angle rings hollow and even despicable. Using his daughter’s death for forced emotional weight only made me dislike him more. That’s no excuse to be “emotionally distant” from your wife for two decades. Overall, not a bad film, but definitely flawed. See more Read all reviews
