The movie isn't really about accurate biographical portrail of Neil Armstrong during the Appollo program. But rather, it gives you some sense of what it must have been like for Neil Armstrong and others to prepare for what was essentially a suicide mission. As an audience we get to feel the emotional turnmoil that was brewing inside Neil Armstrong during this period of his life, knowing full well that you could die at any moment (even during the training) yet having the courage go on.
Most of the criticisms I have read of the movie are, really, symptomatic of the society we live in at the moment, where people wants to be spoon fed positivity, spoon fed happiness, spoon fed fun and not wanting to ever face up to the struggles that are present in life.
Despite it's slow pace it's gripping from the start to the finish. It's a wonderful movie for those who doesn't mind getting involved emotionally and doesn't mind that there aren't jokes or action sequences at every other minute.
