Director Damien Chazelle managed to create moments from NASAs history in such a way that it feels like you are there in the cockpit experiencing the same incredible feats performed by those pioneers of the space program.

Undoubtedly there are better movies about NASA and the early space program, but this one was the first to place me there so completely. If you have chance to watch, this is an experience movie. Make Sure you aren’t distracted. Watch on the biggest screen you can manage, and envelop yourself in sound.

    Oh yes, The Right Stuff is certainly the superior film and, while I am a fan of Gosling in general, it was a pretty weird take on the character/person.

      Ooh, now…while I will say The Right Stuff is a great film, I won’t say it’s the superior film. I’m not saying First Man was better either. What I will say (finally! 😁) is that they are two films covering very similar subject matter with two totally different approaches. The Right Stuff was a cowboy movie in comparison!
