Is this the Hollywood version that omits the flag?

No, that was “First Man,” a feature film. This is a documentary.

Good...As I’d flat out refuse to see that version. Thanks.

Very interested in seeing this. I worked that mission at the Manned Spacecraft Center.

Project Apollo was the high water mark for the United States, and Apollo 11 was the apex for sure.
Hope this documentary does justice to what an incredible man Neil Armstrong was and how he acted under intense pressure when taking controls of the LEM to land on the moon.
Could anyone match the skills and poise under pressure like Armstrong? Not according to Buzz Aldrin.

It feels good to get that American greatness feeling. The moon landing was a month after my birth.

Wow- cool job, really. I was watching it (11yrs old) and was so excited. I wanted to go to space too! Till I was old enough to plan a career, when I found out poor vision and too short were insurmountable obstacles...

Id flat out refuse to see that version. YMMV, but I saw it and would gladly see it again. There are TONS of AMERICAN flags in the movie. The lunar surface scene was mainly about Armstrong personally, so IMHO the flag was not glaringly missing. Seems to me just a way to attack the movie.
I highly recommend it... the beginning X15 scene was worth admission all by itself.

Watched First Man this week. How can hollyweird ruin a movie with an amazing story? Well they did with First Man.
I kept waiting for something exciting. Nope. The wife was made into a sterile bitch angry at the world.
Because I grew up during the Apollo missions, I knew the story. A few good rocket video shots and then the skulking actor portraying the astronaut. It was beyond lame. Wish I could get back the time wasted watching it.

The lunar surface scene was mainly about Armstrong personally Good point. I remember thinking when I saw it that they gave the lunar landing short shrift. Thinking about it. however, you realize the movie was about Armstrong himself, how he got there and not so much about any one event.
I wish they had done a little more on his post-Apollo 11 career, though, which was equally phenomenal, in my opinion.
