Review of First Man (2018) by Champ S — 29 Oct 2018

I hated this movie. I was so unbelievably bored. I couldn't believe I was only an hour in when I checked the time. the movie focused on relationship drama. I just didn't care about anything that had to do with his wife and family, which was almost the entire movie.

I also thought some of it was poorly done. I get the reason for the shaking cam in the launch scenes, but it was really annoying. and there were a few questionable parts where it seemed to be done that way to be more theatrical at the expense of realism. I can't say for sure, but I think so.

It's difficult to be a space movie after interstellar. even the non-boring family parts, the parts in space weren't that impressive to me. it paled in comparison to the similar scenes in interstellar. and that was one small aspect of interstellar, which was filled with other amazing aspects. this movie had unimpressive space scenes with nothing else of value to me surrounding it (1 viewing).
