Good script. Important history. A number of hair-raising scenes. Captured my attention right to the end. In the book version, Norman Mailer says that the 20th century was about "the itch to accelerate, the metaphysical direction unknown." The Moon Landing represents the culmination of that "acceleration". The movie, by focusing on Neil's personal life and sorrow and giving a strong role to his wife, Jan, inadvertently shows us the way into the future, the "metaphysical direction" of the 21st century. We humans in the present are in the process of bringing feminine values back into balance with the masculine, both within ourselves and in the outer world. Today, boys are encouraged to express their feelings; girls are taught that their voices deserve to be heard; we are all learning that it is O.K.. to take time out to grieve, and so, the world keeps on evolving. 5 stars!

I was minus five years old when the first moonlanding occurred. This movie made me feel as if I went back in time and celebrated it with the rest of the world.

I was really looking forward to this but the film was lackluster in my opinion. More of a historical piece.

Rather slow

Being a history buff ,I loved this film. Neil Armstrong was probably one of the most famous men in the world after the moon landing .He was also a very humble and private person too. This movie captured this very well .The movie is filmed in POV so the audience gets the feeling of being there. Very well done.

These 5 stars I'm giving it isn't enough for it. Its been a long time that I've been to a movie that I don't even move in my seat....I even forgot that I had popcorn. This movie captured my attention from the very first minute and I would go see this one multiple times.

I was sad to see the end of the movie....I wanted them to go into what happened after the moon landing.

Globalist propaganda garbage. Don’t waste your time.

The movie shows you up close how exhilarating yet terrifying it must have been to be an astronaut, from the X15 rocket plane to the Apollo capsule. This movie held my attention throughout.

I remember the moon landing and how it galvanized people across the globe. For a short time we became one humanity, celebrating wildly, and in awe of our new connection to the universe. And we were able to see that from afar, our breathlessly beautiful planet was fragile and had no boundaries. This movie was different than I expected, but I honor its portrayal of a brave and very human Neil Armstrong. And I honor all those who worked alongside him to create the greatest adventure of human kind to date. From their efforts we can and must create a new story, one that once again brings us into planetary oneness, in celebration, as responsible caretakers of our home planet so that we may survive into the future. The time is now, the clock is ticking.
