Director Damien Chazelle managed to create moments from NASAs history in such a way that it feels like you are there in the cockpit experiencing the same incredible feats performed by those pioneers of the space program.

Undoubtedly there are better movies about NASA and the early space program, but this one was the first to place me there so completely. If you have chance to watch, this is an experience movie. Make Sure you aren’t distracted. Watch on the biggest screen you can manage, and envelop yourself in sound.

    Oooooh I’m dying to see this one! SciFi is absolutely my cup of tea, specifically “realistic” sci fi like The Martian or Ad Astra. Does it compare in any way to those two?

      Most definitely, but in a more historical sense, of course. As long as you have the right immersion it really feels like you are being sent up with them in 60s tech. In a certain sort of way, I have never experienced anything like it.
