score 2/10
Every scene within this "film" was finely tuned, most likely by a focus group to trigger the desired uplifting emotional response. I left the movie theater with a uplifting feeling and then about five minutes later I realized that I was had tricked and duped. I was played for a sucker because I had drooled on cue just like Pavlov's dog.
I am positively sure in retrospect that events, people, fact, time, effort, and proportion were all distorted and sacrificed to produce propaganda.
When I dug a bit deeper to find out more about this story it came to light that the book on which this "movie" was based was sponsored by a major nonprofit corporation, the Alfred P. Sloan Fund for Research.
NASA, during the Mercury project, had thousands of talented employees who will ever remain "invisible figures," to them this movie does an injustice.
The people I saw the movie with will never know that they were had by a propaganda piece.
