I adore this film. 💖

This movie has the scariest depiction of being an astronaut I’ve ever seen Doesn’t let you forget for a minute that you’re in a tin can strapped to an ICBM with a couple inches of steel between you and the vacuum of space

i think about the visual and auditory choices made in this sequence like, really often, lots

The movie focused on a character study of Neil Armstrong being personally and emotionally distant after having to cope with personal tragedy. Making it the story of a character who spent his time LITERALLY mooning around.

brilliant picture, where real people and events come across as science fiction.

communicates the feel of the raw power of space flight and the sense of danger better than anything else.

Saw at the cinema and loved it. Re-watched it at home a couple of months ago and I adored it. It's an absolute tragedy how such a masterpiece of film-making got overlooked due to meat-headed culture war bullshit. With the recent loss of Margaret Hamilton the 1202 alarm bit feels a bit poignant.

The visuals, the music, the shot composition. It's astounding. Every month or so, I have to dig my copy out and watch this scene. In the cinema, when you first see the lunar panorama and the music crashes in, it took my breath away.

The surround audio effects during re-entry are amazing!
