First Man 2018

First off, from a technical perspective, this is a masterpiece. Everything that is shot in a ship looks phenomenal. The moon landing itself is breathtaking. See this in IMAX if possible. That being said, everything outside a ship is just ok. The acting is good overall but I’m not sure if it Oscar worthy. Claire Foy really gives the best performance. It feels a little too long. They used shaky cam a little too much. It makes sense on the ship scenes but it felt overused on the ground drama. It might be my least favorite Chazelle movie but this is still a great movie.

@nmahoney416 Camera shake: my number one complaint about this film, hands down. Haven't seen such excessive camera shake since the last Bourne film I watched (can't remember which; I found those kind of forgettable).
