This movie make you feel proud to be an American. The special effects are so realistic i cracked a tear hear and there. This movie is a very roller coaster experience. I can’t remember the last time I felt so much suspense from a movie, definitely not for the short of breath. Kicks the Martian’s butt.

I love this movie! The story of Neil Armstrong, the man the first step on moon! All over the world watched on TV live. When I was 6 years old I also watch it. This is a very good movie! You should watch it also!!!

Watch for 4K screenshots at a later date. First Man was primarily shot on film, much of it 16mm, and finished at 2K. This upscaled UHD with Dolby Vision color grading offers a slightly solidified, more prominently filmic presentation compared to the Blu-ray, which is excellent. The image is a little more inherently soft than some films. The UHD does not magically make any scenes sharper, per se, but it does create a finer filmic presentation, with more natural grain and slightly greater clarity to the base elements. The UHD's benefits are evident from the opening sequences, with Armstrong punching a jet through Earth's atmosphere and into space. The picture is nothing short of beautiful, appearing, it would seem, about as close to filmmaker vision and source integrity as possible. Nevertheless, image clarity and raw textural intimacies are not greatly improved over the Blu-ray here, or elsewhere. Scene and still comparisons do not show significant boosts to either, but the UHD does find a mild uptick in object definition and detail and it handles grain a little better, presenting a firmer, more organic field than the Blu-ray, though even here the differences are less dramatic than they are on many other UHD releases. The Dolby Vision color grading offers a modest stabilization and improvement, yielding superior, brighter, and more stable and accurate whites, including NASA lab coats, white dress shirts in mission control, fluorescent lighting, and text on the screen. A shot at the 40:26 mark is a good example, where also some of the colder steely blues and grays present with subtle improvements to saturation and color density. There's a mild improvement to flesh tone presentation and a mild improvement to black level depth. Those in search of a picture that is a major departure from the Blu-ray will not find it. The UHD's improvements are subtle, but arguably critical, in elevating the filmed elements to a slightly higher plane where modestly improved textures, image clarity, grain refinement, and color accuracy can make a small difference in isolation but a more pronounced improvement in total. First Man 4K Blu-ray, Audio Quality The Dolby Atmos track engages immediately during a test flight sequence. Exceptional detailing encircles the listener in the sonic form of rattles, rumbles, the pilot's heavy breathing, and engine hum underneath it all. It's a chaotic cacophony that gives way to momentary peace when the test plane reaches the space above the Earth's atmosphere, only to regain an intensity as the plane finally makes a return to Earth. It really encapsulates the entire track. Big, pronounced, detailed, discrete, and harmoniously jumbled sounds draw the listener into space capsules and training modules with strikingly efficient, loud, and balanced intensity. As Gemini 8 prepares for launch, the creaks and moans creep in from all over the stage, effortlessly transporting the listener into the pre-launch capsule, while take-off and ascent offer a revelatory sense of rise, depth, heft, and movement as the ship approaches and crosses the atmosphere. Overhead channels are generally folded in rather than used for individually discrete effects, helping to create a more thoroughly convincing sound design which is critical to shaping several of the movie's most dramatically intense scenes. Light atmospheric supports gently envelop the listener in a few scenes, dialogue clarity and positioning are seamless, and musical fidelity, front and surround spacing, and balanced low end depth are also track hallmarks but nothing comes close to the several reference quality scenes involving upward or downward thrust and rattle. This is a demonstration-worthy soundtrack from Dolby and Universal.

The best way for me to describe First Man without getting into the long of it: What Darren Aronofsky did with wrestling and The Wrestler is VERY similar to what Damien Chazel did with space-travel and First Man. Now, the long of it... If you’re familiar with Damien Chazel’s since his introduction to the film world with Whiplash, and sophomore effort La La Land, then you know he’s a director with great flair and style. For his 3rd outing we see the auteur filmmaker take a director-for-hire project in adapting the Neil Armstrong biography of the same name. And with this biopic, we see Chazel tackling a script not of his own making for the first time. And this is where most will find flaws in the film, especially viewers looking for an Apollo 13-like endeavor through the mission in an almost documentary style - or for anyone simply looking for an adventure to the moon. Instead, the film focuses on the character of Neil Armstrong, and plays heavily out like a character study that’s looking to observe the psyche of a hardened and determined man. Chazel puts all his strengths to work in turning the film into a strong, brooding stare into the dark void of outer-space. While the film may focus mainly on the man and his mind, there is a heavy emphasis on the mission at hand, and when we do get to venture into the darkness, it’s treated with a Nolan-esque reality in immersive filmmaking, ensuring the viewers is drenched in the intensity. The story also shows us glimpses into some key players in the 60’s space race, and scenarios that effected the Apollo mission to the moon. With these sort of stories, we often know the end, especially when diving into matters of reality - nonetheless First Man encapsulates entirety throughout its finally. Splicing scenes filmed from the mission by NASA with Chazel’s footage, the ending is truly awe-inspiring. This film may not be the trip to the moon most audiences want, but it’s still quite an intelligent spectacle, showing us an American hero that is both flawed and incredibly driven, as well as taking a moment to observe the small details of life on a mission to the moon. Often dark in tone and mind, we see the hardships of one individual among the three involved, the film is also tender and beautiful. I’m sure the big screen will eventually see a feature film that takes us to the moon, much like Ron Howard did with the Apollo 13 disaster, though for now it’s good to see a film willing to immerse itself in the human side of space travel. Definitely not perfect, especially in some of the story elements, First Man is absolutely worth viewing if you’re into raw and realistic human dramas, rather than big spectacle space stories. For those looking to get into the Apollo 11 trip to the moon in all its glory, check out the new documentary Apollo 11 that just came out - simply amazing, and hard to beat in terms of telling the story as vividly as possible.

Watching "First Man" for the first time was a roller coaster. As a father who's lost a child, the story was personally relatable. Add to the that the sheer drama and risks these courageous people went through to realize the country's ambition of putting a man on the moon. As a child, I was a huge fan of the "Apollo 13" film, and from there I developed a deep appreciation for America's space exploration, especially the Apollo mission. I mean, the Saturn V rocket is a remarkable achievement in science and technology. What "First Man" does is it straps the audience into the passenger seat and takes us on a very exhilarating human experience of being the first, being the one to push the envelope to reach higher. This film was masterfully done. I was very skeptical about the video quality of the film because it was primarily shot on 16mm film. While it helped give the film a raw and authentic feel to the time period, 16mm film simply does not produce the same quality video as 35mm. That made the IMAX-shot sequence of landing on the moon all the more incredible! IMAX shots look incredible on standard Blu-ray, but 4K takes it to another level. The color contrast of the blackness of space is amplified on the UHD format, and the attention the filmmakers gave to the details really pop. Even with the majority of the film shot on 16mm, I still say that 4K is the way to go with this film.
