>he literally has to let his father go
It was as hamfisted as the 'baggage' in Darjeeling Express.
this film was true cinema. james gray is in the truest sense an artist. i dont expect a member of the consumer masses to appreciate a film like this.
>uhh I have no emotions because my dad is missing x1000 for 3 hours
It would’ve been better if they didn’t have any voiceover narration. It pops in and out throughout the movie and only exists to explain the plot again for casual viewers on their phones. That narration was so fricking annoying because we’d watch a scene and then he’d explain the importance of that scene/whatever he was thinking and then he’d go into a psych eval where he explains the importance of that scene/whatever he was thinking. They marketed it as the next 2001 Space Odyssey but put barely any effort and then added that stupid narration after test audiences complained about stupid shit like how they were on their phones the whole time. Out of all the films in 2019, this was the worst, worse than Episode 9.
>violently kills 3 fellow austronauts
>gets to live a happy rich life with liv tyler
>ive never been so violently filtered in my life
heh...you inferiors never cease to entertain me
I remember reading that they added the monkey scene because test audiences were checking out before anything happened
there's space movies with zero violence and interpersonal drama, that are far more exciting than this, it's just a bad movie
filtered by space monkeys, moon pirates and explosion surfing
i remember the first time i saw this movie the bulb in the theater wasnt working so i got a free ticket
Out of the three big modern astronaut movies (Interstellar, Ad Astra, The Martian), this was my least favourite which is disappointing considering Brad Pitt is my favourite actor.
don't get me started on interstellar, nolan is a huge fricking homosexual who cut out the "interstellar" part of the film in favor of his pseudophilosophical feminist garbage
>I
>PUT A BOMB
>IN THE ROBOT
You forgot Gravity. It was arguably better than any of them.
I haven't seen it but it looked pretty fricking stupid to me
>called gravity
>gets everything about space wrong
This is a bad opinion.
Ad Astra is a great movie. Its funny to see people self filter because they can’t sit and watch something without keeping their hands busy on a phone or something.
Moon
Europa Project
see BBC's "Voyage to the Planets" for basically a much better version of this movie
or The Europa Report
europa report fell down because of the ayys at the end
they weren't green men in flying saucers though
filming LED light strips in a bucket of water isn't much better
maybe if they got the million dollar budgets and james gray got the shoestrings, but the world isn't fair
Films like this aren't science fiction, they're boring relationship dramas that they try to spice up with science fiction images.
The theme is: don't knock yourself out about your abandonment issues.
The rest of the story was a metaphor about trying really hard to connect with your abandonment parent.
It's not a SF movie.
Hollywood almost never makes science fiction film, it makes allegories. So, you go through a worm hole, etc and end up in your kid's bedroom.
I can't watch this stuff.
Going into space or whatever just to get insight into your dad, is genetic. You could replace "space" with "jungle" and it's the same story.
It is definitely science fiction. It’s a mystery thriller adventure movie. You got the theme mixed up with the plot bud.
>It is definitely science fiction.
It's a sci fi mystery box with a hallmark movie for guys inside. And it's a pretty bad surprise when the setup is "space station orbiting Neptune looking for alien signals goes dark".
The premise was seemingly comfy enough that I stuck through it to see where it was going, and I regret that choice. Such a fricking moronic bait & switch.
Wait people thought ad astra was too slow?
Please never watch anything beyond marvel and mission impossible films
The need to add the narrator to explain every hamfisted metaphor in the movie was a bit much
The movie was not for everyone, sure. I enjoyed it.
Max Richter’s soundtrack to ad astra was phenomenal
it's not for anyone
even the movie it's trying to be is completely barren
it's not a good daddy issues film either
I liked it when Ad Astra fought the monkey. Get that monkey, Ad!
Charlie don't surf!
so there are no aliens so his father tries to destroy earth
wut
I think he said it was the mutineers that did it
Could have unironically made a whole movie about the Mad Max life on the moon.
>nasa moon cars
yeah no the moon car was made to be as tiny and lightweight as humanly possible to be able to launch it with the lunar module for a reasonable cost
if you can build all that shit like lunar colonies and spaceships and giant crater sized antennae then you can build large armored vehicles, in fact much larger than anything you could build on earth
but instead they just use the generic "nasafop" look to give it the veneer of hard sci if
