A visceral and intimate account told from Armstrong's perspective, based on the book by James R. Hansen, the film explores the triumphs and the cost—on Armstrong, his family, his colleagues and the nation itself—of one of the most dangerous missions in history. Review: One of the best and most awe-inspiring films in many years. - Absolutely phenomenal filmmaking combined with the tale of one of mankind's most epic achievements makes "First Man" one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. On a pure technical level alone, it is a remarkable effort. Superior production values including editing, production design, sound mixing & editing, music, and photo-realistic Oscar-winning visual effects combine to immerse us into the excitement and risks of 1960's space travel and propel this biopic to classic status. "First Man" features a stellar cast led by another very fine, understated performance from Ryan Gosling as the titular astronaut. Gosling gives us a Neil Armstrong who is always fascinating to watch, regardless of whether he's flying an experimental spacecraft or listening to a lecture. Claire Foy is equally compelling in what could have been a much more formulaic role such as Kathleen Quinlan in "Apollo 13". Similarly, the rest of the ensemble- especially Kyle Chandler, Jason Clarke, Corey Stoll, and Lukas Haas- effectively play their historical characters as "real people" and never seem to be acting like, well, actors. They disappear into their roles and do not show off in ways most lesser actors would. There are a surprisingly fair amount of detractors for this film, so I can't say as confidently as I should be able to that everyone and their mother's uncle needs to see it. The "flag/ patriotism controversy" was nothing short of moronic. I have seen critics from far-right and far-left perspectives tear this movie apart; hilariously and ironically, these two radical opposites seemed to work together in putting a dent in this film's performance, and may well have succeeded: while reviews were largely stellar for "First Man", it fell short of box office analysts' forecasts and was unable to recoup its relatively modest budget theatrically. This all echoes the odd fate of 1983's "The Right Stuff"; it too was a well-reviewed, Oscar-winning film about NASA's early days, and it too was ignored by audiences in its initial release. *How* you watch this is vital for your appreciation of it. I recommend not watching this on anything less than a 40" TV and Blu-Ray; I saw it on a 50" on 4K UHD and was blown away by many sequences. I can't imagine watching it on a laptop or on DVD. While the documentary-style naturally prohibits "First Man" from being a definitively beautiful-looking film, the added details from 4K including ample film grain in the non-IMAX footage immerse us even further into the experience. The film may take minor liberties with history (especially for Hollywood), yet due to strong performances, documentary-style filmmaking, and impeccable production values, "First Man" is a stunning achievement. Last but far from least, the score by Justin Hurwitz is one of the best original scores I have ever heard, and that's a lot of praise coming from a soundtrack aficionado; it is a sin this was not nominated by the Oscars in favor of far more unoriginal music.

Although this movie was good, it contains many inaccuracies. Some may have been to shorten the movie, but I can't accept that, since there is so much bragging in the "bonus features" about its accuracy. -- When the first Gemini-Agena docking occurred, it was extremely difficult due to the speed/orbit radius change that Armstrong explained to his wife earlier in the movie. Ground control had ordered Armstrong to quit trying as they were nearly out of fuel, but he disobeyed and made one last attempt. A more complex story is that after Armstrong realized that docking was complex, he made many "attempts" to primarily "explore" the handling methods. When NASA told him to stop, he wanted to finally apply the lessons of his research. This "learn what the heck is going on here" tactic made him stand out among other astronauts. -- When Armstrong had to take manual control of the moon lander, it was due to the complete failure of the onboard computer. It failed because there was far too much data for it to process. It's a major statement of how lame computers were at the time. (My watch has far more computational power than they had.) -- When Armstrong crashed the practice lander on Earth, it was not done in a field of dried grain, which would've been set ablaze and burned Neil every bit as dead as the Apollo One astronauts. -- When Armstrong waited for his first interview for the Gemini program, he told another candidate that he was a civilian. That was true, but earlier he was a Naval & Naval Reserve aviator from 1949 to 1960. After that, he was a civilian test pilot for NASA. He flew over 200 different types of aircraft, including jets, rockets, helicopters, and gliders, making him a virtuoso of the entire "flying machine" technology, a bragging right that the movie could have mentioned. -- There are other "errors" that could have made the movie more interesting, but it was already 141 minutes long. -- What I liked best is the insight into his charm, or lack of it, and the clear depiction of what a jerk Neil could be with his wife. I consider this a side effect of his combat and test-pilot experience. I've known many former combat pilots (I was an Air Force officer), and I knew one former test pilot, who explained that people like him are crazy to begin with, they live with an expectation of death, become crazier, and are hard to live with. The movie should have emphasized this, and Neil would not have been shown as a “bad man” at home… as much. AND… the movie Did show the loss of his second child. There is damage to the body, mind, and soul of any parent who’s gone through that. I’ve never experienced it, but I feel I understand the pain he was in. What I disliked most about this movie is the trend in Hollywood of casting actors who look NOTHING like the actual people. Perhaps the producers insisted on a Known Actor, but it seriously caused me to downgrade this movie by Two Stars. They came closer to a look-alike for Janet Armstrong because she didn’t have to be a famous actor. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co/products/84285860-first-man-dvd](https://www.desertcart.co/products/84285860-first-man-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Colombia* *Store origin: CO* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
