Well it must have some good money behind it to snag that actor as the lead role. He's not cheap since his dancy dance movie.
Relax folks, it's entertainment for the masses...
I understand criticizing movies for technical inaccuracies, but what do you think they're going to do... not show Gemini 8?

Sure they'll pump up the suspense and drama but it's not like all these things didn't happen and weren't all part of someone's amazing life leading up to a nation's amazing accomplishment.
According to inside source, the launch of Saturn V in first trailer clip is a Apollo 8, the first manned spacecraft to orbited the Moon and is Pad 39'A s first launch mission.
I don't think First Man (the movie) was anywhere near getting the psychological aspects right. Wildly inventing the very reason for Armstrong to go to the Moon was just.... weird.
