The film uses exquisite cinematography to portray the crowning achievement of the space race — Armstrong becoming the first human to walk on the moon on July 20, 1969. Directed by Damien Chazelle, who won an Academy Award for his direction of &ldquo;La La Land,&rdquo; the film navigates a fine line among the triumphs and tragedies of the Gemini and Apollo missions, while also telling the story of the home lives of the astronauts and their families. The dynamics in this human drama cannot be solely explained by physics.</p> https://www.earthmagazine.org/article/geomedia-film-glimpse-geology-star-trek-beyond/ Thu, 28 Jul 2016 18:55:57 -0400 https://www.earthmagazine.org/article/geomedia-film-glimpse-geology-star-trek-beyond/ <p><em>[Spoiler Alert: This review reveals key plot points of the movie.]</em></p> <figure class="earth-figure"> <img src="https://www.americangeosciences.org/static/earth/geomedia-film-glimpse-geology-star-trek-beyond/STB_Teaser_Clouds_1-Sht.jpg" alt="&#39;Star Trek Beyond&#39; is the third installment of the latest series of &#39;Star Trek&#39; movies.
