saw this movie this weekend with my wife, friend Marty and his wife who were here for a weekend of listening
The incredible untold true story of Katherine Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) & Mary Jackson (Janelle Monae)—brilliant African-American women working at NASA, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit. This stunning achievement galvanized the world and inspired generations to dream big.

This movie in one simple word is "terrific"
The acting is superb and the story which was completely based on fact was one which was completely unknown to the 4 of us. This film will leave you with an uplifting feeling as it was wonderful to watch. Not Best Picture by any shake of the imagination but worth the price of admission for reminiscing some very important American history at the dawn of the space age.
This is also the type of movie that one buys to put in their library. A real treasure and highly recommended. I even enjoyed Kevin Costner in his role however the three stars who shined were Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe. You won't be falling asleep nor will you checking your watch. It's that good
