Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I just saw this movie in theaters and was very impressed. The visual effects were so phenomenal that I felt that I was experiencing the X-15 flight, Gemini and Apollo with Neil Armstrong. I also think the film effectively portrays the challenges that Neil Armstrong (and his wife Janet) faced at home. I feel I must emphasize that the film made me proud to be an American and made me proud of the historic American achievement of being the first to walk on the moon. Despite what you may have heard, the film shows many scenes with the American flag including many other forms of American symbology, which is one of many things I admire about the film. In particular, the film indeed shows the American Flag on the moon. The movie, however, did not show the actual planting of the American flag on the moon, which is understandably mentioned by many intellectually honest critics whom have seen the movie. Sure, it would have been ideal if the flag planting was clearly depicted in the movie. Nonetheless, I don’t think this setback should overshadow the many other patriotic scenes well depicted in the film, not to mention the other great aspects of the film. I look forward to buying the movie as soon as it becomes available.
