Now that the dust has settled, what did we think of this?

Amusement park ride trash. Shockingly bad film. Great acting. What a waste.

Kino movie with kino soundtrack. All the spaceflight scenes were absolute kino.

Predictably it was pretty great. Now I want more but I guess they've already done the biggest stories. There won't be a Skylab movie, ASTP more probable but not much.

Best film of 2018

You know when you step back from the microcosm of identity politics and petty unimportant arguments about bullshit issues, and you just take a look at the bigger picture for a while, you see that the United States of America is pretty fucking amazing.

I give it a "meh" as a space enthusiast.

whitey on da moon

OP here. Get out of my thread.

The Right Stuff was better

pretty good I guess, assuming we really did go to the moon.

AYO WHY DEY ON DA MOON WHEN I STILL GOT NO MONEY FO MY PROGRAMS

Well said

I’m not much into fiction.

Do you really think he cared about his dead daughter all that much? Seemed like they played it up a lot.

It had a great screenplay.

He certainly did, it was something his friends knew about but were afraid to ask and they were shocked every time he mentioned her.

>shows him throwing his daughter's bracelet into the crater

I'm not a father and even I know this is a fucking stupid question.

This movie change the relationships between the men a little. Small things that made the audience view the astronauts in a different way. For example Edward White, because he was Armstrong's "classmate" and met a tragic end was perfect for his best friend in the movie. In reality he was a lifelong friend of Jim McDivitt (here on the right next to White) who's still alive. Aldrin, who's a bit out of character for most of the movie, also was really good friends with White.

Apollo 11 documentary was a superior telling of the same story
Apollo 13 was a superior depiction of the space race era in general
First Man was just Oscar bait and wank fodder for A24 fanboys

Great film. Spiderverse, The Favourite, First Man and An Elephant sitting still were best films of 2018

We won

i thought it was shaneequaniasha jose hernadez the third who actually sent the usa into space?

Pretty much. Most of the world was literally shitting in the street or in buckets and we were walking on other space bodies

It's like Damien took an Ambien when he made this movie. Shame really considering the beautiful moments and score. The film didn't earn them and as an effect they were less powerful.

grats you're better than some african village

>>looking into it
NASA

I agree with this user

Pretty good overall. Excellent music and the space scenes were 10/10. Too much shaky cam and the family stuff felt really tacked on and heartless, for the most part (though the scene when he talks to the kids about going to the moon was pretty good). Shame people got so butthurt over non-issues like the flag thing.

How was Aldrin out of character, out of curiosity? I've heard he could be boastful and a bit rough around the edges in that he liked (and likes) to talk a lot and can rub people the wrong way. He certainly wasn't friends with Neil which was clear in the movie.

t. ADHD faggot

It's not that hard. The moon is very close in the grand scheme of things

I wondered that as well. Was Neil an autist?

Imagine being the guy who had to stay up in the command module and not having the opportunity to step on the moon after successfully making that trip

>Now that the dust has settled
What dust? Nobody gave a shit

>Was Neil an autist?
Yes. He was known to be a quiet, stoic, introverted sort of person. Goose was the perfect casting choice.

Michael Collins and the Infinite Sadness was my movie idea, about the man who came so close and was still so far. The man history forgot.

ive been on a space kick lately (Apollo and gemini missions) as well as STS-1 and the early shuttle flights.
Will I like first man? is in a vein like Apollo 13?

>all those now dead pads
>the LC-39 shuttle pads in the distance
so good

It's historically accurate. Any time I can see big rockets and 1960s space shit in a movie I'm in. But in tone it's the total opposite to Apollo 13.

sounds good, i'll try to get it on 4k.
ive been back to building models lately and one of the sets ive got is this which has been pretty fun

Went in knowing the fx and score would be great. It was. I couldnt believe how touching the story and script were. When he drops the bracelet into the crater was a powerful scene because it felt like the entire journey built to that moment and it completed a very compelling arc. Only faggot contrarians say this movie sucks.

Americans always say this, but they're also the ones who cut their own space exploration budget to almost nonexistence so that they could spare more money to bomb those supposedly unimportant mudslimes. You don't get to brag about your space exploration when you literally don't do it anymore. Congress just executed the SLS because it was way over budget (the power of free market private contractors), so literally your only hope of even being able to send men to space is Musk, who's basically defrauding his investors to keep SpaceX afloat. You know what, you can brag all you want if you actually start doing shit. Perhaps divert 10% of that military budget to a good cause. You’d still be able to take on half the world with no backup, but you’d also be contributing to society in a way that isn’t fast food restaurants. Put men on Mars and I'll suck your cock. But right now, bragging about what you did 50 years ago just makes you look insecure. It's like a 32-year-old McDonalds employee bragging about how good he was at baseball when he was in college. Good for you, dude. Maybe you could've made it to the big leagues. But you didn't.

Neat

Good movie but a bit slow.

Dont watch it if you expect ADHD turbo-XXL afterburner having action.

More of a biographical movie than a "space" movie as many assumed.

You forgot to add "best sound editing since Sicario"

Aldrin was a highly intelligent and at times depressed introverted nerd with strong opinions. Buzz in the movie was alright during the Moon landing sequence.

>Aldrin was a highly intelligent and at times depressed introverted nerd
and yet he had a slender loyal wife

truly a different time

Attached: god damnit.jpg (970x474, 44K)

That doesn't really contradict the movie, he was clearly intelligent but as said, people have said he could be grating. We never saw him as a depressed, introverted nerd because the movie wasn't about him it was about Armstrong, another depressed, introverted nerd.

While I sympathize with your state if you think you're anywhere near Aldrin's level you are sadly deluded. Also he's had a string of marriages.

I think he divorced (again) just a couple years ago. Also he, like many other rich and famous old men, had problems with his family over the control of his estate but this matter is now resolved thankfully.

Neil should be grateful this junk didn't fly or he'd still be holding on to his daughter's bracelet.

Attached: Soviet-N1-Lunar-Rocket.jpg (477x614, 266K)

Neil probably didn't actually take his daughter's bracelet to the moon, that was an embellishment.

All that's known is that Neil spent a few minutes alone exploring the edge of the crater, and that -maybe- he took some personal item like that on the trip

t.woman

I rather think Whites death was the thing they played up. Astronauts were more rivals than friends to each other.

Most of them were friends (many were even friends with Soviet cosmonauts). It's much easier to find examples of rivalry. Aldrin and Cernan disliked each other but that changed later at least before Cernan's death in 2017. Shepard intimidated a lot of people even though all people from Mercury Seven liked each other there were tensions as well and when Shepard returned to the space program after a break for medical reasons his unprecedented (compared to some he felt like a rookie) influence and authoritarian character annoyed a lot of people. Apparently McDivitt refused to be his co-pilot but there are many versions of this story. But it's obvious that experience McDivitt wouldn't agree to be third in command (2nd in command was CMP who stayed in orbit) just to walk on the Moon.

just finished the book

They were friendly enough and in specific missions crews were selected to get along as much as possible since they'd be in such close quarters.

Read Micheal Collins' book. He was as close to a poet on Apollo 11 as if they had packed one in there. His biggest fear? Coming back from the Moon alone if the Neil and Buzz fucked up. He would be remembered as the guy who came back from the Moon landing alone.

Not gay but might suck his wiener.

Attached: Apollo-11-lift-off-008.jpg (460x276, 35K)

I will look it up, thanks. And that was a pretty legitimate fear, though you also can't deny that it would suck to be so close to the moon and not be able to step on it like the rest of your crew did even considering the danger of it.

>Not gay but might suck his wiener.
You have good taste. No homo

He wasn't even that sad that he didn't walk on the Moon. He was glad he did this job. The crew of Apollo 11 was never as tight as other crews because both Neil and Buzz were rather quiet and reserved. Collins was the only joker. He had a chance to walk on the Moon (probably on Apollo 14) but refused. He regretted it a little but he was fine with it. Unlike CMP of Apollo 12 Dick Gordon who never got over it.
I heard his book is interesting. This Summer they're finally gonna publish it here where I live. I already have Cunningham's All American Boys. Books written by astronauts always have the best anecdotes.

A quarter of the year behind us and we still haven't lost any new astronaut. Neat when you compare it to 2017 for example. Frank Borman aged 91 is still in good shape and laughing at political correctness. He's probably in The First Man somewhere but it's no Right Stuff so there was no focus on the New Nine.

just be an astronaut bro

this.
Step up your shit, America. You have the fucking resources and you had them a long time ago.

>Not mentioning From the Earth to the Moon mini-series

>A quarter of the year behind us and we still haven't lost any new astronaut.
When they're not laughing at political correctness I think most of them just want to die already.

Some of them are extremely lucid. Charlie Duke, incredibly nice, the youngest moonwalker, will be 84 this year. But you never know Gene Cernan looked great and died suddenly in January 2017. John Young also died in January, winter kills old people but now it's Spring.
Tom Stafford looks like a galapagos tortoise and sounds like one but is still kicking. Jim Lovell is second oldest after his commander Borman. Buzz is also among the oldest. In total 23 of the pre-shuttle era astronauts are still with ut.
As for the rest like two days ago one of the last Vostok cosmonauts passed away.
