Ad Astra

The film's geography takes us on a cross-solar system journey, but the real trajectory is deep into the human experience - finding meaning in life and coming to grips with being left behind.

This was terrible. Dialogue consisted mostly of Pitts mind. Just boring to me and I was anxious to watch it. What a let down.

It's never a good sign when a realistic-feeling sci-fi set in the solar system has Mars, Jupiter, Saturn etc. all lined up in a neat row as the hero in his spaceship heads outward.

Bland character, bland daddy-issue plot element, irksome science stuff (messages from Mars to Neptune take longer than a couple minutes to send and receive), and several grander themes that never really take shape.

It looks good though. Score was pretty tense.

I cant believe how pointless this movie was.

Really bad end climax.

Ruth Negga's character had the most promise, but they did nothing with her. Donald Sutherland was pointless. Liv Tyler was extra pointless.

Everything that got introduced was left at the introduction. Nothing mattered, there was no emotion.

This movie was Kevin Sorbo-level of disappointed.

Was torn here, did enjoy parts, though a lot of it did seem pointless by the end. Not sure I'll watch this again, even though a second viewing could sort some shit out.

eg ***spoiler ahead*** Pitt's dad was hanging around trying to fix the ship as it was causing damage to the Earth right, then he commits suicide when they're about to fix the problem via self destruct mode. Why not just blow yourself,the ship and the problem up long ago old man.

I also watched this late night and was very tired, so I found my mind wandering too many a time.

Didn't his dad actually find or discover life elsewhere and wanted to share it with his son, who he somehow knew would come? I very well could be way, way off though.

I loved it even with its flaws

The visuals of Neptune are some of the best sci-fi Visuals Of planets I’ve seen since Interstellar.

^x2

I loved the movie. Not as good as interstellar but it’s a runner up.

I watched this and enjoyed most of it.

I'll admit that I was tired as f#ck and started falling asleep during the end, so I'll have to go back and watch it again more closely, BUT...

Spoiler:
Rabid space monkey!
Are you kidding me?! That was one of the greatest things I've ever seen in a movie... possibly largely because it was so unexpected! 😂

I also really liked the

Spoiler:
moon pirate chase sequence!
Some nice sequences in this bad boy, but like I said, I'm going to have to watch the ending a little more closely...

I'm a little surprised it got decent reviews with all the voice over they used. I always heard that was a no-no in filmmaking. Some of it even bothered me a little.

There was a shot of Jupiter that was stunning. jawdrop
