First Man Ratings & Reviews
- Zbigniew Czachor2d agoThis movie felt like a prequel to "Apollo 13". There are things in this movie that were mentioned in "Apollo 13".
- vbcamaNovember 19, 2025A must see. Not just a film, [e]motion picture!
- neuroparadoxSeptember 2, 2025Chazelle really nails how claustrophobic and terrifying it would have been inside those machines, trying to do something that had only been science fiction up to that point. M-O-O-N, that spells moon 🚀🌚
- Ted MaloneAugust 31, 2025Have to say this was not at all what I expected. They only half-told the story, and really left you wondering what point they were trying to make. If the goal was portraying the journey that Neil took from the Navy to Civilian test pilot to NASA to becoming the commander of Apollo 11, they pretty much failed at every level.
- 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.
- 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.
