10 2018 Movies That Could Score 100% On Rotten Tomatoes

4. First Man

Ryan Gosling La La Land
Summit Entertainment

Release Date: October 12

The Buzz: After scoring near-universal acclaim with his last two movies Whiplash (94%) and La La Land (92%), including a Best Director Oscar win for the latter, Damien Chazelle tackles the fascinating true story of NASA's successful attempt to put a man on the moon, centered around Neil Armstrong (Ryan Gosling) and Buzz Aldrin (Corey Stoll).

Though decidedly different from Chazelle's music-focused prior movies, the film nevertheless should provide the filmmaker with plenty of opportunities to demonstrate his stylistic panache and make the most of the eerie majesty of space.

In addition to Gosling and Stoll, the rest of the cast is absolutely stacked, with Claire Foy, Kyle Chandler, Jason Clarke, Jon Bernthal, Pablo Schreiber and Lukas Haas coming along for the ride. Expect many Oscar nominations and ludicrous critical acclaim across the board.
