A dreamy journey into the disquieting but promising unknown that balances somehow being cerebral but thrilling all at once in its best stretches. Definitely made me think a bit of both Apocalypse Now in its narrative structure and 2001 in its look and tone. I’m not the sure the ending fully resolved the mystery and promise of its early acts but it’s still a very interesting journey worth taking.

The drop in pacing near the end is not helping, as the rest is not really that fast either. Otherwise good.

This is a slow, dull space fable about (I think) the need for a guy to open up emotionally and deal with his daddy issues. Just because its slow Sci-Fi, you don't get extra Art points like you're making Solaris.

I really, really loved this movie, but it's definitely not for everyone. The slow burn is a brilliant conscious choice, but I can see that being a huge turn-off for anyone going into this expecting it to be bigger and more epic than it is. It's actually a very simple story, encased in a gorgeous presentation of outstanding visual and sound work. Think 2001: A Space Odyssey, rather than Gravity.

(rewatch) probably should have received more Among the Best of the Year/Deserves Oscar Consideration blotter, because I think it’s one of the 2019 movies that people will still be talking about in 20, 30 years. it does get a little draggy & ponderous when TLJ shows up, though.

Looks cool. Lots of jumping into space and grabbing handholds at the last minute. Agent K was a real dick at the end.

Pretty good science fiction. Not so much the idea but just the stories that happen along the way, kind of like several good Star Trek episodes in 1 movie. But the overall theme and ending didn't do much for me.

Too many space tropes for me: loneliness, human connection, explosions, technology gone wrong, lab animals, discovering missing people, using nukes to launch yourself, etc. Very good sound mixing. Space war with pirates was kind of silly. Score bumped up since I like space films. Fav scene: intro with everyone falling down.

Amazing. Beautiful visuals, great soundtrack, interesting characters and with a nice message. Good pacing and never predictable. I especially liked the flashbacks and voice overs and I appreciate the risks that the makers of this film took. Stands out from other space flicks like Gravity, The Martian and Sunshine. Highly recommended!

There are dozens of space movies, but this one is different. The focus is not on space itself, it's on the characters and their reflection on each other. While the space setting provides amazing scenes, Brad Pitt holds great monologues that are underlined by an atmospheric and fitting soundtrack. The movie also provides many new ideas like the car chase scene. What makes this movie truly special is the story between father and son. Both not able to let go. Chasing one while leaving another.

like any insufferably self-serious filmmaker with a growing budget, it’s inevitable that gray would look to kubrick just incase one white elephant (his beloved coppola) isn’t enough. of course, for all their egotism those guys usually had respect for their audience, a trait which eludes AD ASTRA as it carefully steers us through its totally-profound-and-not-hackneyed-at-all unifying metaphor with an endless barrage of laughable verbal, visual and narrative cues.

Maybe if I hated my dad I would have liked this movie. Some of the best CGI to ever exist in film and well staged shots in a movie with characters and a story that have little to get emotionally attached to. The movie moves forward in a quick, brisk pace; not spending time on reflection or caring about any sort of character growth or impact. Which is weird for a character study film. I wanted it to end way before the credits rolled

Nice meditative pace and lack of pointless "we have no story so let's do special effects" action. Unfortunately, the story and characters are barely developed.

Of course Gray would make Pitt's lonely but cold-hearted astronaut travel to Neptune to find his dad and ultimately place an atomic bomb on an old ship to destroy cosmic surges that menace life on Earth and also his daddy issues. This is it, the feeling you are watching the LAST SPACE movie: we're all we've got. Beautiful claustrophobic, wide-angled and closeup shots all over in Gray's experimental, existential (pessimistic or optimistic?) journey into ourselves through the emptiness out there.

Solid opening scene and acting. It’s got like three memorable scenes, but two of them require some suspension of disbelief. The plot, characters and pacing are all far from what I’d want. Someone said if you liked “2001” you’ll like this, but I though 2001 was a far better film that was ahead of its time. Ad Astra would’ve flopped and been forgotten without Pitt’s name attached to it.
