About this movie

Oscar®-winning** director Damien Chazelle and star Ryan Gosling reteam for the riveting story behind the first manned mission to the moon, focusing on Neil Armstrong and the decade leading to the historic Apollo 11 flight. A visceral and intimate account told from Armstrong’s perspective,, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost—on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues and the nation itself—of one of the most dangerous missions in history.

Ryan Gosling's acting shines. The film's climax is one of the best scenes of 2018. There's far too much shaky camera for a drama, though.

It was tense!! Beautiful, fantastic and tense. Probably too much with some fiction but still. Actors play real!

I loved the scenes in planes and rockets. But shaky camera during scenes when it was not necessary was making me feel sick. Crazy. but worth to see!
