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.

Just one more time I hear the word "Soviet", "Russia", "Iran" or "North Korea" in these American movies and I will have nothing to do with this American cinema anymore. Just kidding. But f*ck those movies though.

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.

I can't really fault this on any technical level, but my god what a dreary experience. It's just wall to wall sulking and moping- It's the moonlanding, people, not a fucking Simple Plan concert! Cheer the FUCK UP.

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.

Doesn't work in many respects. My biggest complaint is just how scattershot it is and how these little scenes don't add anything. I find it hard to believe that Armstrong's life, compressed down to 2 hours, could be so boring. Real life is not all neat and tidy, so why do they decide to add a special moment to make it seem that way? Buzz is the biggest jerk and nothing comes of it. It could have pushed the angle about the moon trip being a waste of money, instead it flounders with no message.

As far as anything interesting goes this is utterly bereft of content. It follows the same tired old biopic formula, Gosling's performance is muted, going on wooden, every scene is a cliche and there's no suspense because anyone interested enough in watching this is going to know how it all pans out. So unless you're a sound engineer or something there just isn't much reason to watch this dour, by the numbers damp squib of a movie. Oh, and the camerawork is really annoying.

First Man já valeria somente pela experiência sensorial absurdamente imersiva e impactante que ele é capaz de proporcionar, mas o filme não se limita a isso, sutilmente ele vai compondo um terceiro ato que ascende esses elementos previamente estabelecidos e ainda mostra seu verdadeiro potencial dramático de uma maneira poética, catártica e desoladora.

A small step backwards for Chazelle. While many of the cockpit scenes were successfully tense, I really hated the constant shaky-cam approach throughout and found it very distracting. To be honest, I also didn't buy Gosling as Armstrong but that might be DC's fault. I've read a bit about Neil Armstrong in accounts from those who knew him and they didn't describe the boringly somber man we get here. Sadly FM fails to ignite the engines of one of the most historical achievements of all time.

I don't know if I really liked the vibe in this movie. It was somewhat slow and sad for almost all of it. There's nothing wrong with that, It just didn't really go well with me. Although, all of the acting was really great. Ryan Reynolds was good, but honestly Claire Foy really stuck out for me. If you were to watch this film before any of her others, you'd never know she wasn't from America. All-in-all I really enjoyed this movie, and would definitely recommend it.

This movie was the most anticipated for me in the previous year. I am a huge fan of space movies and historic biographies and this movie was a historic space biography. The perfect combination for me. Unfortunately, came up a big disappointment, mainly because of the slow pace and the lack to provide a more "technical" background of Neil Armstrong although the runtime of 140 minutes. I don't know if I have to blame the book, the screenplay writer or the director for this.

Whiplash ve La La Land gibi iki müzikal film çekip hemen ardından bu kadar sade ve durağan bir Neil Armstrong biyografisine imza atan Damien Chazelle, First Man ile afallıyor ve izleyicide eli ayağı birbirine dolanmış yönetmenmiş gibi bir his bırakıyor.

An outlandishly well made mixture of human drama and technological prowess. It sides with historical accuracy most of the time, and still manages to be entertaining and aesthetically compelling. I don't know how Chazelle manages to be so good at his job.
