First Man Ratings & Reviews
- Noah Austin BrooksJune 27, 2025"First Man," directed by Damien Chazelle in 2018, is an unforgettable cinematic masterpiece that truly stands out as one of the greatest films ever made.
- Plexxor the Pretty GoodJune 4, 2025This story surrounds a man's struggle to be present, through unbearable loss, for himself and the ones he loves. Burying himself in his work, where fear of death was a huge distraction for everyone else- was his escape from his own reality and true greatest fear. This film is absolutely terror inducing. The astronauts, the flights, (the crazy horrifying noises during the flights!), the families, the guilt of being an astronaut and risking the lifelong pain you will almost certainly put your family through when you don't survive it all. What a movie! Editing/timing was fantastic.
- RyezooFebruary 14, 20252nd viewing takeaways. Loved the score even more. Every single flight sequence was still incredibly terrifying. I also connected and understood more of where Neil Armstrong as coming from during this viewing. I did feel pacing in the back half to be a little bit more noticeable this time. I think I did enjoy this movie a little more, with no watching with no exceptions.
- ChrisDecember 29, 2024I really wanted to like this. I was so looking forward to it. Cinematography was awesome. Loved the kind of first person claustrophobic feel in the launch shots. Sound and score were spectacular. All that said. I know everything I read about Armstrong says he was a very humble and quite person, but they made him seem angry and bitter. I never once felt he really wanted to go to the moon and In a movie that is about the first person to ever go, that seems important. Maybe it’s just my dislike for Ryan Gosling talking.
