good movie for a family to watch. Powerful meaning

It's difficult to comprehend that the story of all these women has been suppressed for so many years. I'm a longtime fan of the Apollo space missions, but not once -- not even in Tom Hanks' "Earth to the Moon" series -- did any of these women get a mention. Amazing performances by the entire cast. And one of the most impressive and surprising things to see is all the computing that used to be done by human beings. I'm not a math person, so it might be more impressive to me, but ... wow. Already own this film as well. My only regret is that I have no grandchildren to share this film with.

Went to the movies to see this to see this movie you really brought back a lot of memories I remember the launch like it was yesterday and it's part of my history it was really interesting to know all the stuff that was behind it we only saw the launch and how it went was just amazing we never get to see the people that are actually behind all of the work and I thought the neat thing at the end of the movie they actually showed you the actual women that the movie was about and after many years they finally got credit for their fantastic work I could just watch it over and over again is that good a movie

This is an inspiring, intelligently made, well acted beautiful movie. It does not matter the race, gender, or time period. This is a movie about doing your best, doing what is right, doing what you know you need to do in spite of all the outside hate and confusion that surrounds you. More people need to be like these women. As you watch this movie you realize that you want to have met these people and know your life is just a little bit lacking because you didn't. Jus watch this movie.t

This is based on real life and the women in this movie are INCREDIBLE. Not only do they focus on the intelligence and savvy of these ladies, but they bring out their personal struggles in a time when women weren't thought of a science leaders, and probably even less for black ladies. I LOVED watching them become the heroes of the space agency, even though it wasn't widely recognized. This movie will lift your spirits and you will want to watch it again.

A well done, wonderfully acted and directed film. I originally saw it in the theater when it came out. It is an inspiring and uplifting movie. It is an intelligent film that addresses racial and gender inequality & stereotypes that, sadly still have some overtones today. I had known about Katherine Johnson's contribution to the Space program before seeing the film ,, but it was interesting to also learn about the other ladies' contributions. This is a film for everyone.

Like how they portrayed the story and im a fan of the actresses so its worth the watch

Presentation/Availability: Product was well packaged with no broken/opened box. There were many available at the store. Performance: If you love dramas and especially when they are based on true events, then this movie is for you. I loved this movie at the theaters and decided to buy it for the extra features that are included. Powerful story. Customer service: Very good customer service. I was greeted by an employee as soon as I walked through the door.

This isn't 's a chick flick. It's an shameful but realistic look back at the way our culture at the time treated black women in the country. There were and still are places in this country where black women can't show us just how brilliant there are. I was very glad to see even back in this period of history that some gave black women a chance to impact history. Truly women of color had to insert themselves sometimes at risk to themselves or their family. Clearly these women were able to assist in history making events. I love the way the movie brought us along as part of their journey. The movie showed us how some were offended by just the thought of working with black people in general. It also showed how they were treated as low level office help. I loved how these women were able to show NASA that skin color doesn't make these women less able to contribute to the complex more than mindless jobs beneath there abilities. I really enjoyed this movie.

My wife and I first saw this in the theatre. I am a history geek and a Middle School history teacher - I had never heard this story! I bought the DVD when it came out and showed it to my kids at home. My 17 year old son was not interested in watching it, but we insisted that everyone's going to sit and watch it and, by golly, you'll like it! He loved it! Buy it and show it to your family. A good, clean movie with a story that must be told.

I saw both LaLa Land and the movie that won (so unimpressed I cannot remember the name). Hidden Figures is a lot better than either. The story of three AA ladies who help get the early space program going. The press never reported on the real life accomplishments of these three ladies, so the movies have to bring the story to us. Two of the three were vital to the success of the early space program, the third just has a fine story to tell.

I really enjoyed this movie and have watched it several times. This movie is important time in history and it is a good example of 3 women who stood strong. They worked hard and earned respect from everyone around them. It is a good example for our time to use as an example of how to earn respect from people. Do not miss seeing the behind the scenes and extras it is well worth the time. I highly recommend this movie.

I had no idea these stunning women existed. I am very glad I now know.

This is a story about the people in the trenches who helped calculate the orbits for the space program at NASA while overcoming racism and sexism at the same time. These women were brilliant at a time when black women didn't do math (or full time jobs!). The acting was excellent and there was a mix of old footage to supplement the new to give a well rounded look at what went on during the time of the launches.

I usually don't go to movies based on fact. After all I figure I know the ending. This is one that I had not heard of. I saw it at the movies and couldn't wait for the DVD to become available. The movie holds your interest and you learn about individuals that you know about and those you didn't. I highly recommend this movie not only for the performances but the fact it shows that girls/women can do amazing things.

Based on real events, this is a poignant period film that follows the American space program, and the "hidden" black women who worked for NASA. It displays racial tensions that were prevalent during these times, but it only scratched the surface of what very qualified black Americans had to endure. They proved themselves invaluable and earned the respect of many. A must see film to add to your collection.

This is an outstanding movie suitable for a wide viewing audience. Its portrayal black discrimination in the work place and in educational settings is educational and uplifting as a black female math wiz rises to the top in performing calculations that launch the first manned space flight in US History for NASA. The obstacles faced and conquored by a pool of female black mathematicians is moving.

I saw this movie at the theater and I loved it. It was very inspiring to see how people who faced adversity in the work place, met the challenges to help the United States and the beginnings of the Space Program. These hidden heroes have taught us to fight for what is right. Excellent job the Hidden Figures of not only Black women, but also White women who made a big contribution to our space program.

This is a good movie, although a true one. Really enjoyed.

Really great movie and I would recommend it to anyone
