It's about time we went back.
I still have one quibble with First Man, but rest assured I will be re-watching it this weekend when I'm not in March Madness mode (or checking in on the current mission).
I love this particular scene so much. The dream-like quality to everything (fitting, with CMP Collins played by Lukas Haas, who was also in Inception), the gorgeous, softly driving music, intensity slowly building, and especially ~7 minutes in, when the LM is just a mote we see briefly before it drifts to the left, our attention focused on that vast, forbidding landscape and the gaping maw of a crater...
Godspeed, crew of Artemis II.
PS - Watching Integrity's proximity operations with the ICPS is not super exciting, but also super exciting. NASA's showing the docking target on their stream, and it looks not unlike what you see on the CSM at ~4:50. The cockpit controls are DRAMATICALLY different, of course.
