First Man (Damien Chazelle, October 12, 2018) Movie • Page 4

La La Land is great but most of the criticisms against it were valid, or at least understandable

 

This I can understand.

 

basically the same trailer but they took out all the dialogue lol

 

It just dawned on me that if this came out 9 months later it would be the 50th anniversary

 

Seeing this in 15 minutes, bummed my screening isn't doing on one of their IMAX(ish) screens

 

I really hope Chazelle can three-peat with this, Whiplash and La La Land are some of my favorite films.

 

I’m curious to see what more people think. Some of my friends who rate La La Land as a masterpiece/one of the best of 2016 thought it was a disappointment, but I think it’s easily his best film.

 

gotta have two before to hit a three-peat ayooo

 

Just as good as I hoped. High quality stuff. Astrauanauts are crazy people.

 

This did not disappoint

 

This was great. Loved how claustrophobic and rickety it felt. Outside of it being about another guy who pursued his obsession to a crazy degree, I would never guess this was directed by Chazelle.

 

Ya this was great. There's some energy to the directing/cinematography for the earthbound stuff, but the flight sequences are where this movie really shines. Incredible stuff. I also really liked the score that kicked in for the final act.

 

The score is fantastic as expected from Justin. “Docking waltz” and “the Armstrongs” in particular.

 

How jaw dropping are those IMAX sequences though

 

When they got to the moon and the screen opened up - Hot damn.

 

This had some great stuff and some okay stuff. Everything on the moon was pretty great though.

 

this was one of the most claustrophobic films ive ever seen. that mid movie take off sequence is so well done

 

Do I see this in Dolby or Imax?

 

Sounds like this isn't doing too well

 

something felt off for the first half hour or so for me but it took off (hee hee) after that.

visually astounding and great preformances all around.

chazelle for life.

 

I was surprised at the box office numbers. I know this isn’t supposed to be a popcorn space flick but I thought it would be stronger. Maybe it’ll have long legs.

 

Everyone I know who has seen this thought it was meh at best so now I’m conflicted on whether or not I see it

 

This could’ve been a run of the mill, Apollo 13–esque, feel good movie. Which would’ve been fine and mostly forgettable.

But instead it was a real exploration of a family, particularly Neil, dealing with a tragedy.

Executed brilliantly I might add.

Astounding.

 

They’re plebs
