It was really annoying from the start that all the actors didn't seem to speak clearly and that made it harder to follow than it already was anyway.
I also advise that if you want to see this movie you read the Wikipedia article on Armstrong or the Gemini / Apollo missions first. I went into the movie with a vague understanding, but felt left way behind because they don't explain much in the movie. I didn't know the timeline of the Gemini and Apollo missions and they don't bother to explain, so I was left wondering where in the timeline they were and how many more missions there were to come before the Apollo 11.
They use the shaky camera style a lot, which is okay since many parts of the movies are taking place in rockets or other fast and unsteady vehicles, but during the personal scenes there are also some weirdly fast cut scenes that didn't seem to serve a purpose. In addition, I also think they either used old camera equipment or some sort of filter to give the movie a vintage appeal. That is interesting in an artsy way, but for the viewing pleasure it was more bothering. The sequence on the moon was quite beautifully executed and the highlight of the movie, though.
