It hasn't touched the brilliance of the movie... but I'm enjoying it so far. I haven't visited the movie in so long, I can't recall some of the major differences outside of not including Chuck Yeager in the new one. It seems to be dwelling more on the personal lives/relationships of the astronauts and is taking it's time getting to the important space stuff...

I think the production values have been top notch and the acting has been great. Will be interested to see how it wraps up...
