He was considered a brilliant engineer by his peers, and he was rightfully selected to be the commander of Apollo 11.

This was not true of Armstrong who got his pilots license at the age of 17. The complaint was that civilian pilots by virtue of their engineering training were too mechanical and not true flyers. The movie also glosses over the misplaced disdain military pilots had for their civilian counterparts. Claire Foy as the wife was ok but she also had a degree of coldness about her.

Apollo 13 did a far better job of recounting the terror of that flight. The movie also had a hard time capturing just how terrifying some of the events were. The astronauts were all household names but you wouldn't know it from this movie. The main characters all suffer from superficial once overs. A miniseries would have allowed for more in-depth probing of how Armstrong became the man he was. During these missions thousands of images were taken, most of them with the Hasselblad EDC. One of the missions Apollo 13 failed and they had to return. During the next 3 years 6 missions to the moon was made and a total of 12 astronauts walked on the moon. The movie covers three of his serious incidents while flying, and he had at least three more, that could have been covered in a miniseries. On July 20 ( July 21 GMT ) 1969 the first man stepped on the moon. This is unfortunate since Armstrong led a very charmed life as a fighter pilot, test pilot, and astronaut. The movie focuses mainly on his family relationships, and the landing on the moon is somewhat secondary, therefore the movie lacks a lot of drama. He is portrayed as a colorless technocrat, who is somewhat cold to his family.

I saw this movie at a sneak preview, and I had high expectations given the hype, but sadly, this was no 'The Right Stuff.' The problem may lie in the main character on which the movie is based, Neil Armstrong.
