Asks the question 'what drives a person to excel?', and answers it in a fascistic way.

Looks, sounds great & beautifully performed. However what this film is really about is grief, fatherhood, commitment & the human condition itself. This isn’t a film just about humankind's technological achievements, & it’s certainly not a film about whose flag was first. It’s a powerful reflection on what we achieve & at what cost. Gosling expertly portrays an ultimately ordinary man, grief-stricken, restrained by the emotional conservatism of the era, but still achieving greatness.

"First Man" takes some liberties with history, it makes early space flight seem like it was conducted with rickety equipment liable to fall apart at any moment, and it does so to great effect. It's the first movie I've seen to truly display how utterly insane a man must be to want to be a passenger in a metal cylinder hurling into an empty vacuum at 24,000 miles per hour, and how terrifying that thought is. But the issue from this movie doesn't come from space, it comes from uninteresting drama.

Saw this at the right moment for this to completely gut me. That said, I totally did not expect to be this emotionally engaged in a story that otherwise has been best retold by a parody in The Onion. Gosling and Foy are incredible, but we knew that going in. The production excels at driving how insane this venture was.

The actual space sequences are really, really amazing. But the movie seems to hardly care about space exploration at all. Instead, Armstrong's entire NASA involvement is treated as little more than a plot device to develop the family drama. It's just disappointing because Chazelle demonstrated a technical mastery that could have been built into a masterpiece entry in the space movie canon.

Most of my score is for the space/rocket/aeronautics sequences, which mix terror and artistry into something that at its best is downright (intentionally) nauseating. Everything outside of those scenes was as dull as dishwater. I could flip on my TV now and find 90s sitcom reruns more dramatically compelling than the household drama in this film. So overall I can respect some scenes but dunno what film douchebags on my Twitter feed crying “masterpiece!” a few months back were on about.

If you ever found yourself wondering what was going on in the homes of the astronauts while watching The Right Stuff, than you clearly didn’t enjoy watching The Right Stuff as much as I did. Bafflingly mixes Apollo 13 with Rabbit Hole.

Underwhelming, but pleasant enough. When the central character is as interior as this, I really need to see something in the filmmaking that holds the whole thing together. I'm not sure it's there. And the story is a pretty straightforward underdog piece, though its quiet works to mask the scent. Despite these sort of negative comments, Chazelle wrung a few nice moments out of this, particularly in its regular use of subjective (and limited) perspective.

A little too solemn and austere, but Chazelle manages to bring a procedural and cinematic form (the 16mm-like camera is great) to the greatest endeavor of human kind -- we stay almost all the time inside the spacecrafts and barely see the darkness out there. Landing shots are beautiful. But Chazelle still can't quite direct human relations -- the family melodrama seems inert despite Claire Foy's enormous efforts to approach the material with humanity and grace.

It's an amazingly well-made film, but it is hindered by the fact that it's a well-known story. Knowing what happens does take a little away from the storytelling and this, I think, was the film's ultimate undoing. Having said that, the rest of the film is great; the cast is in top form and they do try to add emotional touches to the story, with some success. Damien Chazelle feels a little restricted though and he might be better suited to creating his own stories.

Damien Chazelle stretches into new territory with this intensely personal depiction of the space race as seen through the lens of Neil Armstrong's experience, deftly switching between credible relationship drama, moving character moments and intensely suspenseful action sequences. Cinematography and sound design are superb, very immersive and often claustrophobic. The few moments in which the perspective shifts outward are breathtaking.

Found parts to be very boring and other parts to be very good. Second half better than first. Super space scenes. What killed it for me though was, in addition to the roll scenes, the shaky camera throughout, I think trying to make it look "1960ish." Got super dizzy watching this.

There is a good story in this film, but the filmmakers could not find it. They were too busy trying to make this film perfect for Oscar night. The film is poorly edited to the point that we get to know none of the characters and we don't really care about anything that is happening onscreen. The events in this film are important, but the director is too busy shaking the camera to really care. I HATED this film and consider it one of the worst films of 2018.

Fine movie, just really slow and felt like it could have just been a documentary. I wish it had spent more time in space and had some special effects. They didn't go to space til the end of the movie.

Technically impressive, but with an overly long run time and less informative than I would’ve liked. Seeing more of the general public’s reactions before and after would’ve been interesting. I loved Chazelle’s Whiplash and I hoped that this would be on par with that. Ultimately I got more or less what I expected.
