Ad Astra

souleffigy shared a tip "Same cinematographer as Interstellar and it shows. Great visuals and decent score. Too much narration is a fault of the film and it constantly treads a fine line of epic and slog. Brad Pitt is good and the supporting cast comes off as disposable since their main roles are literally plot points to move the narrative forward. All in all if you want a good sci-fi flick that reaches for a Nolan-esque feel then James Gray does no harm. It has an interesting premise, but leaves something to be desired. If you’ve seen The Lost City of Z then you more or less know what you’re in for. 7.2/10 (C-)"

predge shared a tip "Just finished this, and its up there with Interstellar. The space flight seems the most realistic in a movie I've seen yet. Decent plot, fantastic acting."

alexis_riley shared a tip "This was actually pretty good! I liked the plot and the acting was good, the only complaint that I have is that it was a tad bit too long. It’s over 2hrs long and at points seems to drag on pointlessly. 6.5/10"

sean_green_7753 shared a tip "4/5, I didn't really love this movie while I was watching it. I think the trailers were a rad misleading to the overall tone of the movie. Howevwr, it was well done and I enjoyed it more after watching and thinking about it."

taylor_sipos shared a tip "So the first hour in your like…I am bored. Then all of the sudden the poetic nature of the writing grabbed me and I said oh shoot this is cinema."

halfabee shared a tip "Very boring and basically boils down to daddy issues. Also, space baboons!?! While they're the most interesting thing in this movie, they don't make it worth it to watch."

dusan_brown shared a tip "I honestly have no words to describe what this movie means to me... it hit so many places in my heart and mind, leaving me speechless by the end. I saw this movie at a point in my life where I wasn’t sure how I was feeling all I knew was that I was in immense pain. This movie showed me or at least guided me to know my true feelings about myself and the world around. I applaud the filmmakers that made this project possible because without it I honestly don’t know what I would have done."

jared_sutton shared a tip "Not your typical sci-fi film, but actually a drama set against the backdrop of space. I recommend this piece not only for the aesthetic look of the film, but for the performance of Pitt, and all others in accompaniment. It also doesn’t hurt to hold a mirror to the current society we live in, and the warning it gives for future generations."

10th_Man shared a tip "I'm a sucker for an interesting space epic. This one can be a slow burn and the over all message that the film makers wanted to convey was kind of uncertain for me but there are alot of exciting moments, interesting ideas, and some decent effects. I will be returning to this one for sure."

shane_roberts shared a tip "Don't, I MEAN DO NOT watch the trailer. it is for a completely different movie. Google Ad Astra. This was so bizarre. **** was happening that had little or nothing to do with the story. The story was a hodgepodge of totally different styles, genres. Then they were chopped into bite sized pieces and thrown into a blender. Then it was extruded into a film can and left in the sun. If you are starved for sci fi give it a shot."

chris_voytek shared a tip "A personal, emotional journey as much as it is a space epic. Asks the question: does the possibility of what’s out there truly beat what we already have in each other? Interesting watch."
