It's very low key, so much so a lot of people found it (very) boring. But I think that approach works. For one thing, apparently that's the sort of man Neil Armstrong was. More importantly, the backdrop of an ordinary man with an ordinary wife and an ordinary suburban home makes the lunar project look the more amazing by the contrast. I found my interest in the moon project, which died over 40 years ago, was rekindled. I was struck by Armstrong's remarks about it being more than pure science, but rather a whole new way of looking at things - the atmosphere is so gigantic on earth, but when you see it from space it's a tiny layer.
The director's deliberate decision to avoid showing the planting of the flag was a mistake, though.
