Overall, I would give the movie a B
Not as good as The Right Stuff, Apollo 13 or From the Earth to the Moon
The main reason is that it was from Neil Armstrong’s point of view. Armstrong was not that entertaining (Aldrin is), most of the movie, he sulks and his interactions with other Astronauts were not very compelling
The scene where he says goodby to his sons and they ask if he is coming back and the scene on the moon where he performs a very personal act were very touching
