There are a lot theories put forth while film historians, professors, Kubrick worshippers, etc. try and explain lots of wild hidden meaning, fan theories and even the infamous how Kubrick filmed the "fake" moon landing (Danny's Apollo 11 sweater).
Some of the commentary is pretty out there, but some is actually almost believable.
If nothing else, you get to watch Kubirck film montages the entire time and what could be better than that?

Sadly, it gets burdened down by way too much Earth melodrama, and it drags the movie down. I was desperately waiting for the launch of Apollo 11, it took nearly two hours to get there.
Ryan Gosling did well playing Armstrong, I think. Yeah, he was remote, but in general, that's kind of how engineers are in real life. I really liked Corey Stoll's brazen Aldrin, he was a nice contrast to the stoic Armstrong.

Jennifer writing is so easy to get lost in whether your reading her Young Adult, New Adult or General fiction she has the ability to capture the reader better than most authors I've ever read.
The Titan Series is the Sequal to Jennifer Covanant series. If you haven't yet read Covanant please read it especially if you love Greek mythology. Covanant follows a very empowered amazing female lead called Alexandra Andros where as The Return follows Seth.
Seth is an extremely complex and amazing character if you have read the Covanant series you know Seth started out as a egoticial hard man Apolloyon who through the series change due to Alexs influence.
The Return Seth no longer has Alex as his conscious and guide. Seth has to repent for his mid deeds from the covanant series and it doesn't help he suddenly has feeling for his new charge. I love this book a lot not as much as the original Covanant series but it still amazing all the same plus Seth and Apollo arguments egos and bitch fighting can keep me amused for days.

Astronaut Jim Lovell's famous understatement, here presented by Tom Hanks, in a film that documents (I was going to say dramatises, but let's face it: it's already dramatic enough) the trials and tribulations of the Astronauts of the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission, and of the members of Houston's mission control who worked around the clock to get them home safely again following the explosion that crippled their ship.
Yes, we may all know how it ends, but this is still a very good movie with stellar performances by all involved!
