Ad Astra is a space movie. It tries to depict what could be the future advancement of humanity and technology.
It is a James Gray movie led by Brad Pitt that does not deserve to be seen more than twice. The second watch being a stretch. In all my life, I don't remember taking three days to finish a movie. I saw Justice League, End Game, The Godfather I and II, etc in one sitting, but not Ad Astra. While some might argue that the pace is perfect, I counter, asking, "To what end?"
The colouring, visual effects, and cinematography are really decent. It makes going through the movie bearable. The drama isn't over the top. It feels very human, but it's sad that these and the two hour narration couldn't save this movie.
Ad Astra is ✨mid✨ and I will not speak of its poor end or the physics behind Roy sieving through incredibly fast rocks at Neptune.
Ad Astra is a space movie revolving around Roy McBride and unresolved daddy issues that somehow eats badly into his life. Notwithstanding, he's required to get to Neptune and stop a surge that could end human life. Brad Pitt delivers a stellar performance on what cold feels and sounds like with the material he's provided.
I will now begin my hate.
The music composition is one of the worst space movie compositions as it lacks originality and observable niche. It's a striving, lacking Hans Zimmer.
The characters are a waste and lack depth. Even our main man, Roy McBride. We are presented with how-this-one-take-relate characters and compelled to accept the presentation. Reminds me of a country.
