| Taraji P. Henson |
I liked this movie a lot. It is my hope for this year's Best Picture Oscar, but I don't think the Academy is ready to reward it that way. (See La La Land review.)
It is a compelling story about the space race in the 1960's that, for the most part, moves along well (it seems to falter when personal background stories are being told).
The casting is superb and the acting is excellent: Taraji P. Henson (Benjamin Button) and Janelle Monae (new to me) dominate their scenes and, along with Octavia Spencer (The Help), are the focal points who drive the movie. Jim Parsons (Big Bang Theory) surprised me with his range, while Kevin Costner (McFarland USA) played his more recent 'congenial' persona.
I highly recommend this and look forward to seeing it again.
