Gosling portrays the Neil Armstrong we heard about (and the Buzz Aldrin we heard about). Only Hollywood stretch: There wasn't really a deep crater to cross just before the landing, but it conveys the genuine hair's-breadth fuel situation because of impossible landing terrain.

The kerfuffle about America not getting enough credit is total BS. The film captures the spirit of the people of Apollo beautifully. And yes, those people really were overwhelmingly white guys in their 20s to early 40s and their wives. True to the time.

I thought it was very good but noticed everyone in the theater was old enough to remember the Apollo program.
-
We were at a Sunday evening showing in an Imax theatre & there were 3 other people there. Sad. Though we had excellent seats.

why were the control surfaces in Gemini or Apollo machines grimy? were they original machines and at this point are soiled?
-
Good question. They weren't original vehicles, that's for sure. Maybe several days into a mission they got that way? The end of Gemini flights were said to be conducted in a 100% urine atmosphere.

What’s a urine atmosphere like? Asking for an acquaintance

One thing I loved about this movie was it portrayed the absolute silence that is on the moon. That might sound obvious but something often overlooked. The scene where he is descending his boot to place into the lunar soil is one of the most fascinating things I've seen on film.

The political objection appears not to be the actual content (no flag-planting would have gone unnoticed as unimportant to the mission or dramatic narrative) but to director and actor virtue-signaling to alert that it was intentionally un-patriotic (my words).

Surprised at the negative review in Weekly Standard.

Although it was technically accurate, as someone who doesn't care for Steampunk, the "mechanicalness" of the the tech was off-putting...(I realize that's my problem).
-
You didn’t like the movie because the Apollo command and descent vehicles looked in no way like the bridge set of star trek: the next generation? What a knob.
