Hidden Figures

Hidden Figures is the incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—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, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.

This was a very enjoyable and historically important movie.  It's not like you didn't know everything that was going to happen but you were still hanging on each development or hurdle that the characters had to face and you were hooked by all of them as well.  They also did a great job of balancing the seriousness of it all and doing that justice with spurts of sarcasm/humor.  That balance is what really carried the movie besides the great performances of all involved.

I would definitely recommend people checking this out.  It was very entertaining and did great justice to the importance of these women's achievements.
