because they would have to source from books and screenwriters can't accept that someone is better at writing stories than them - so instead we get metashitical garbage like ad astra
Ad Astra gets a pass because it doesn't aim to be scientifically accurate or anything.
It takes you on a surreal, dreamlike journey where the setting just happens to be our solar system.

I'd might take that bait if it wasn't painfully obvious how much it was inspired by 2001, and how much it WANTED to be a serious sci-fi movie. I might buy your argument if it was Life of Pi in space, or something.
I hate when I'm looking at the catalogue after I hit refresh and I'm like "Wow. Look at all the great threads right now." And then I enter and get excited to discuss kino and then I realize I was looking at everything on page 8, 9, and 10 after I refreshed.
Happens a few times a day.
What's annoying is that people don't want to like it. They find all sorts of reasons to shit on it when "space pirates" is possible and logical, the movie doesn't explain exactly why, so you can fill in the gaps with reasonable imagination.
The concept of the moon or Mars being "international waters" with potential for conflict with pirates is very reasonable and compelling. The issue is how everyone is driving around on 1970s-style rovers that provide zero protection, rather than enclosed vehicles like, you know, cars.

Weight v. Power. It's early still and cars didn't change all that much for a long time either.
I really wanted to love it. 2019 was going to be my year of kino. At least Brad Pitt didn't go Affleck-like all moapy afterwards. Anyway, I am a complete 95 IQ moron so i didn't understand how scientifically inaccurate I was even though the black hole riding scene in Interstellar made me go lawl. I do like it. At the very least it is a solid 6 (out of 10). What made me disappointed was that James Gray did the relationship drama climax bit so poorly. Isn't he supposed to be good at that? People had checked out by then and those who were watching went apeshit. All in all I felt sad.
I think it was supposed to be sad. I remember the feeling of hopelessness even if I don't remember many specifics of the movie other than the feels.
>Gray
He was doing official check-ins and self checks a la Blade Runner and he was stealth losing it.

This movie sucks.
Tommy Lee Jones is some misanthropic homosexual who wants to drift off into outer space and have his head explode because he can't find aliens that are more relatable to his goofy ass than normal humans are.
>who wants to drift off into outer space and have his head explode because he can't find aliens
Think this had more to do with how he was deranged and a mass murderer, who knew he would be sentenced to life in prison or worse if he was returned to earth
>THE ANSWERS WE SEEK ARE JUST OUTSIDE OUR REACH
Kek, even the tagline sounds like something a pretentous midwit who doesn't know he's midwit would come up with.
Can you be a pseud and like this movie though? It seems more like a "heady" movie for morons who don't know they're morons--like a teenager with down syndrome proudly showing his parents he can spell "cat." Pseuds usually have standards--this movie is more like if everything unlikeable/laughable about the dumb jock architype and the pretentious nerd architype somehow came together in a Roland Emmerich movie.
>It seems more like a "heady" movie for morons who don't know they're morons
That's what 'Marvel for pseuds' means. At least, that's exactly what I mean by it.
But Marvel knows what it is for the most part at least. The main thing that characterizes Ad Astra is its unearned pretensions--it's more like Independance Day for pseuds.
>The main thing that characterizes Ad Astra is its unearned pretensions
That's the main thing that characterizes a pseud, as well, that's the basis for my title. They think they are watching something heady, and it makes them feel smart, but they are too much of a pseud to realize it was just a Marvel movie.
>proto-Marvel
You sound so gay saying something like that. Frick off. Independence day is Kino.
Marvel is Raimi's spiderman but with quips every minute.
I loved Ad Astra. The ending monologue is incredibly based and relevant. Angry incels who don't have a relationship with their father could never relate to this film
Why can't they make good or even acceptable scifi movies?
All I want is 2001 with a little more plot. That's all.
Ironic shitposts are still shitposts

I literally just came up with a billion dollar idea, and some fricking israelite producer is going to steal it now. Frick.
Yeah and it'll be ugly gays and blacks in the cast and a completely shitty execution. Enjoy your future schadenfreude now.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, this movie is Marvel for pseuds.

Is Independence Day not proto-Marvel?

Hello, shitwit.

I only remember the pirates. The screams recording.
there was monke
kino aesthetics and the pirate scene looked cool, but that scene was also stupid, and the plot and science was kind of dumb.
Something you watch high and enjoy I guess.
Why do filtered people seethe so much. You got filtered, it's okay. You can still watch Spiderman No Way Home and play basketball etc.
This movie sucks, but frick this is one of the funniest posts I've read in a while.
