Oooooh I'm dying to see this one! SciFi is absolutely my cup of tea, specifically "realistic" sci fi like The Martian or Ad Astra. Does it compare in any way to those two?

Most definitely, but in a more historical sense, of course. As long as you have the right immersion it really feels like you are being sent up with them in 60s tech. In a certain sort of way, I have never experienced anything like it.
Now I'm definitely going to go and see it :D
Sorry I'm so late to the party but...
I definitely agree that First Man, quoting you, "create(s) moments from NASAs history in such a way that it feels like you are there in the cockpit". Another thing I found interesting was how dry the film was: Gosling's Armstrong was so timid, almost verging on the autistic; the only "dramatic" performance in the entire film was that of Claire Foy and even she was subdued. This definitely wasn't The Right Stuff! 😁
Watch on the biggest screen you can manage, and envelop yourself in sound.
I'd say this for all cinema really, but I couldn't agree more in this case. Nice summation!
Oh yes, The Right Stuff is certainly the superior film and, while I am a fan of Gosling in general, it was a pretty weird take on the character/person.
Ooh, now…while I will say The Right Stuff is a great film, I won't say it's the superior film. I'm not saying First Man was better either. What I will say (finally! 😁) is that they are two films covering very similar subject matter with two totally different approaches. The Right Stuff was a cowboy movie in comparison!
