Went to see this on Saturday. Pretty long movie, but not a lot of wasted shots. Opens up some insight into how dangerous the moon mission was, and how it affected the lives of the astronauts, especially Neil Armstrong. The spacecrafts and tech look medieval.
Made my wife and I both want to see The Right Stuff after it was over. I enjoyed it but, unlike The Right Stuff, once was enough.

Yeah, we were disappointed in that as well. They show the flag in the background but that's it. The "first step" was kinda cool though, more details than you hear in the broadcast version. -

I saw a few reports on TV that the Producers and Director wanted the movie to be about HUMANS making it to the moon instead of AMERICA making it there.Most people just listen to music and watch movies. I EXPERIENCE them. -

Too many Hollywood productions want to diminish the impact The US had on the world. History is history. Some great, some not so great. Seems to me that the not so great gets glorified all the time in Hollywood.Basement: Polk SDA SRS 1.2tl's, Cary SLP-05 Pre with ultimate upgrade,McIntosh MCD301 CD/SACD player, Northstar Designs Excelsio DAC, Cambridge 851N streamer, McIntosh MC300 Amp, Silnote Morpheus Ref2, Series2 Digital Cables, Silnote Morpheus Ref2 Series2 XLR's, Furman 15PFi Power Conditioner, Pangea Power Cables, MIT Shotgun S3 IC's, MIT Shotgun S1 Bi-Wire speaker cables

I don't want to spoil anything, which is probably redundant since it's history, but the space race was definitely shown as part of the impetus for getting to the moon. -
It's history, space race and all. JFK challenged us to win it....and we did. He didn't challenge the world to make it there, he challenged us, and we rose to that challenge.
A proud achievement in American history, and should not be diminished....all I'm saying.HT SYSTEM-

I won't see it over the omission of the flag planting. I met Neil Armstrong and heard him speak at Purdue when my wife went to school there. He would have been angry as can be over this. Apollo 11 was to prove it could be done, and I believe he also saw it as a way to honor those lost in pursuit of getting there, including Command Pilot Virgil I. "Gus" Grissom, Senior Pilot Ed White, and Pilot Roger B. Chaffee, who were killed in the pad fire of Apollo 1. They were expected to be the primary crew for the moon landing.
The planting of the flag on the Moon, to Neil, would have been to honor the hundreds of thousands that got him there, and not a way to poke a finger in the eye of the rest of the world.The Gear...

That's true, but Hollywood seems to love putting down America's success at times. It was an American achievement, not a world achievement.

I had a good friend that designed the parachutes and pyro gear that brought back everything from Mercury, through Gemini and Apollo. His work even slowed the Space Shuttles and the X-15....

Yeah but shortly thereafter things would change. Interesting 3-part article on the ideological changes then, and what is prevalent today in Tinseltown.

That article was very informative! I read it all!
I liked the comments after the article too! Hollywood elites are idiots, blind and, backward thinkers!

I don't know where this Hollyweird get all their movie facts. I'm fed up with their PC agenda always trying to feed us false ideologies. Furthermore this whole going to the moon mumbo jumbo is fake as heck, after all everyone knows that the world is flat.
Yee haa! -

Ding ding ding. Guess what, the guys who made the movie made the movie THEY wanted to make. what a novel concept. All this bickering about they should have added this, they should have done that. If you want to watch it you will, if you don't want to watch it you won't. Simple as that.
So did Leni Riefenstahl
