First Man (Chazelle/Gosling/Foy/Chandler/Clarke/Bernthal) trailer

[MartyMcFly]

There's some tonight here separate of the early alamo one

There are a few around here too but those filled up quick. Missed out on them. But Alamo also has a QandA with the cast and crew

I made it

A bit of a slow start, which had me worried. But once it gets rolling, it's pretty good. All the training and actual space scenes are great. They are super intense and you truly get a sense of how crazy and dangerous those missions really are. I feel it did a better job at portraying that than any of these types of movies. Gave me real anxiety at times.

The music. oh my god just fukking beautiful. Immediately looked up who did it after the movie. The cinematography was great too. Just some beautiful fukking filmmaking. Chazelle was born for this shyt.

Probably my least favorite of his last 3 movies and not sure it's one i'd revisit often, but definitely worth the watch for the space scenes and score alone.

I am seeing it tonight, kinda surprised when I found out it wasn't sold out yet yesterday. I guess this movie isn't on people's radar that much around these parts.

Now that i've had a few days to sit with it i will say the family stiff is kinda boring but the space shyt was good

It's not one i have thought about a lot like whiplash or la la land though

Just got back from it and all I can say is that it's a fine film and that's about it. When I saw Spielberg pop up as Executive Producer in the end credits a lot fell into place for me because this definitely feels like one of the recent years Spielberg "true story" films (Bridge Of Spies, The Post) that are exceptionally well made from a technical standpoint but provide a rather by-the-numbers, stick to the facts drama that provides little cinematic value.

The cast is great and the space scenes excellent, and that's all the reason you should see it. The score overall was great too although the main "tune" painfully exposes Justin Hurwitz' limitations as one can hear every shade of his La La Land score in it.

I gotta admit this one really kinda evaporated from my brain already. I didn't catch the Spielberg credit, but that makes some sense. I hope Chazelle stays away from Stephen to get his modern geriatric stench off him.

come at me modern spielberg stans :tarantino:

Seeing this this weekend with my dad

Haven't thoroughly enjoyed a Spielberg flick since 98.

So this sounds like it has some great moments but as a whole it's kind of just a good movie and that's it? I was planning to see it but maybe I'll wait.

 

[the next guy]

Will see this this weekend.

The movie was boring tbh. Like it was a decent movie but it was just a snooze. Without the score this movie would be borderline garbage honestly. Neil Armstrong must've been the most stoic person who ever lived. His wife should have left him for being a robot. Not Goslings best work imo

After growing up on Apollo 13... I don't see the point of seeing a film that doesn't exceed Apollo 13.

 

[Jermio]

Chazelle and Gosling killed it. Piff. Way better than La La Land and Whiplash. I don't know what the haters are talking about.
