Ryan plays Neil, a married father who grows up to live his lifelong dream of being an astronaut. He's married to Janet (Claire Foy), a quiet yet powerful woman who teeters between supporting her husband's dream and arguing Neil's constant work ethic.
This movie isn't about special effects although they look SO FLAWLESS. It's a human story about the emotional toll the Armstrongs faced. The poster perfectly conveys this. Ryan as Neil is in his space helmet. The dome is part face mask part Earth. YES!
The supporting cast was great too. Corey Stoll as Buzz Aldrin. And Jason Clarke played Ed White, the first man to walk in space on June 3, 1965.
Five stars out of five. If Bradley Cooper didn't make A Star Is Born, Ryan would win for this movie. Ryan and Claire will get Oscar nods though...well deserved.
