First Man

If you like drama this is the film to see. Special effects winner yet no action. This is a PG-13 film because children will fall asleep at this 2 hour plus film. Yet I thought Ryan Gosling would be nominated.

It's a shame that "First Man" is the perfect title for this film --which concentrates on the human side of sending Neil Armstrong to the moon -- because when it was released to theaters I assumed it was about cavemen or something. Instead, it's a lovely immersive story that captures the awe and beauty of sending humankind into space. Great script, great cast, and awe-inspiring special effects that never upstage the characters. good stuff.

The movie is non-fictional, real life hardly ever is as exciting onscreen as it is experiencing if in person. But this was still gripping as a “space enthusiast” I’m glad it in my collection. Also I bought used and shipped a new one. So ��

Armstrong has always been kind of a hero to me, and I guess you want to believe your heroes are perfect. This movie shows that he was outstanding in his career, but could've been a better father and husband. But sometimes I wonder how accurate movies like this are.

"Apollo 11" showed how risky manned space flight was and is; even more so than "Apollo 13" Apollo 11 follows the life of Neal Armstrong and his wife and family. Neal Armstrong is portrayed as intelligent and determined. The risks and cost, in lives, and the impact on the astronauts and their families, of learning to fly to the moon is depicted. Excellent movie.

While the mythos of extraordinary human accomplishment is important as an ideal to aspire to, we are still only human and require a reminding.I consider this telling an honest attempt at honest representation of the humanity which is in us and necessary in our quest to realize more.

Terrific movie. It made me feel like I was in those rockets, experiencing first hand the barely contained shaking, the engines screaming like demons from hell, the terror and exhilaration of always pushing the technological envelope to the edge of disaster. The cerebral sections conveyed Armstrong’s laser like focus on the mission, which came with a high cost to his personal life. Just an excellent film from beginning to end. Thank you President Kennedy for reaching for something beyond yourself and giving an immeasurable gift to humanity.

Darker than I expected. I was entertained. It's a movie, not every one needs to be exactly perfect or change your life. This movie was well made and I don't feel cheated by spending the time watching it. I would have given it five stars if they would have put the camera on a damn tripod or if it came with free Dramamine.

Having just graduated high school in 1969, I well remember both the Gemini missions and the Apollo missions. There certainly was controversy, excitement, and anxieties during these space ventures, especially the "firsts." This movie, First Man, well captures those realities.The fact, that Neil Armstrong's sons have stated that James Hansens' historical nonfiction book, First Man, was the best portrayal of their father and mother, lends further credence to the authenticity and genuineness of this movie.

Love the movie ... My only issue was that the 4k visuals not as clear on some scenes some seemed kind of pixelated ... I do have an lg 4k SUHD TV ...PLUS AN LG 4K PLAYER..BOTH HAVE HDR.... I feel like the blue ray version looks possibly better
