Bill B @billbird2111 4d I have watched this movie once. No desire to see it again. However, upon watching a clip on YouTube I was reminded just how depressing this movie really was. Forget about the flag planting. It would not have improved upon the sadness I felt when I saw this. The moon landing was a crowing achievement for America. It's too bad that this movie does not reflect upon that. I don't think Neil Armstrong or Buzz Aldrin were brutally depressed when they landed and walked on the moon. Yet, this movie would have you believe that. This is one of the biggest problems with it, in my opinion. See more Dilyana T @Dilyana Feb 17 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 Read all reviews
