Sign In. Ad Astra Hide Spoilers. Space travel as a vehicle for examining human relationships. TxMike 24 January My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. Frankly I had no idea what to expect. The story starts with Brad Pitt as Roy McBride, working on an International Space Antenna, so tall the commercial planes fly far below and workers have to wear space suits because of the lack of oxygen. Think 8 to 10 miles high. When an unexplained surge causes serious problems, Roy has to jump off and parachute to safety. Then the story turns to a suspicion that Roy's astronaut dad, Tommy Lee Jones as Cliff McBride, didn't die all those years ago but in fact is alive near Neptune and somehow is responsible for the dark matter surges that are harming Earth.

Most of the time, imdb ad astra, especially in the final act that too much of it was ridiculous and didn't make sense was a turn off. No personal flying drones yet? Hip Japanese Traveler uncredited.

Ad Astra is grand but, rather frustratingly, it's not great. The second half, however, slows to a maddeningly sluggish pace, and the film ultimate leaves you worn out and disengaged. Ad Astra. By Witney Seibold. James Gray's Ad Astra takes the perfectly decent premise of a fun, schlocky space adventure cheapie, then sits down next to it with a trowel full of thick, creamy, slow-moving profundity and starts smearing. Brad Pitt plays Roy, an astronaut in the near future who must travel to the bitter climes of Neptune to find his thought-lost father Cliff Tommy Lee Jones who may or may not have an antimatter widget that's threatening the fate of the solar system. Roy traverses increasingly hostile territory while contemplating what might have happened to his father's mind, and what might be happening to his own. On his journey, he will encounter a lot of his own Terrence Malick-like voiceover, an incredible score by Max Richter , some of the most amazing space photography in a film by Interstellar's Hoyte van Hoytema and an eventual near-insufferable tone of slow, bleak somberness that will leave audiences wanting to give Gray a chocolate cream and a pat on the back just to cheer him up. A sci-fi version of Heart of Darkness is a fine idea, and the ordinarily somnambulistic Gray allows himself to be awestruck and even a little playful through the first half of Ad Astra. Gray and his production designer Kevin Thompson have effectively constructed a lived-in near future where moon bases look like chintzy airports, where raygun-wielding moon gangs roam free across the lunar landscape in souped up moon buggies, and where therapy has devolved into a series of frequent office-mandated visits to corny meditation rooms replete with relaxing images of butterflies and dreamy Music from the Hearts of Space-style muzak.

I kept waiting for that scene to plug into the bigger picture of what was going on but it never did. X Jessica A. Bobby Nish Franklin Yoshida. Robert uncredited Lori Dorfman Not an action movie although many action scenes. Jim uncredited Eleanor Goodall Broadly speaking it is very much Hearts of Darkness or Apocalypse Now in its episodic journey up-river to the core. The dialog and Pitt voiceover monologues are very pedestrian blather about things that we are supposed to care about except that there is no context or world-building that might make it matter to an audience. Yet, I still feel that there are issues with space travel. Luis Richard Gomez Jim uncredited. United States China Brazil. When you get to Neptune, you park your rocket, and I mean park, on the opposite side of the rings so you have to go through the rings on the way down to loony pops and come back through the rings with a makeshift shield that you removed from the outside of the spacecraft with no tools while wearing a spacesuit.
