Review of First Man (2018) by Alfatrimuh — 12 Oct 2018
The Good:
1. Original score, I would watch the film once again for the music alone.
2. Technical aspects (such camera movement and visual effect), using first person view was a good choice for such 'thrilling-biographical' movie like this, it's too shaky for me though.
3. Tense build-up, second half of the film was the best.
Moderate:
1. Acting, nothing so special about the acting from both leading cast, but still a solid performance.
2. Story-telling/plot, the film was very long, but there's no much dialog, also the timeline moving way too fast compared with its slow-pace.
The Bad: Overlong and Slow-paced (especially first half through). I think 120-125 minutes was enough for this.
Conclusion: Easily becoming my top 3 Space-Drama film, alongside Interstellar and Gravity.
