Gravity meets Apocalypse Now. Despite frequently stellar visuals, AA suffers a lot by frequently failing to live up to it's own ambitions. Most of the action scenes are unnecessary and jarringly farcical putting them at odds with what is otherwise quite a brooding slow paced observation of a successful astronaut with intense daddy issues. The constant inner monologue is irritating rather than informative and I really could have done without them spelling out the need to 'let go' in the climax.

binbir tane bu tarz film gördük. James gray ben de cekeyim eksik kalmayayım demiş herhalde ama milletin çektiğinin aynısını çekmiş. arada iki tane sistem eleştirisi sıkayım muhaliflere yaranayimi da eksik etmemiş. oyuncuların ve yönetmenin eski filmlerine saygımız var yine de boş diyemem ama gereksiz

I really love space sci-fi movies. This is not one of them. Maybe it's a movie for cinema art lovers. Not for me, for sure, but someone may find something to enjoy in this film.

Complete disregard of basic physics. Story makes no sense. Brad Pitts shows no emotion whatsoever. I struggled to continue watching to the end. Beautiful images but that's pretty much the only positive aspect of the movie. I had high hopes but was very disappointed.

This space odyssey is absolutely stunning and beautiful. Great cinematography, editing, use of sound mixing...amazing performance from Brad Pitt, and an excellent use of slow-building to illicit that ambiance it was always going for. Definitely loved the themes going on in this one. WILL be boring for a lot of people, though.

Space-emo: the total package including color desaturated flashbacks, somber, raspy voice-over AND! .. and this is a big one to check off: the ending-still where all sound fx and music are mute and the motto is whispered by a character, then off to end titles. Pompous!

I went into this knowing little, but expecting at least some interesting exploration of sci-fi ideas. I was disappointed that there were no such ideas at all. It's not terrible as a sort of tone poem, but that kind of movie is just not my bag, baby. Also, when you're going for this kind of minimalism, you're doing yourself a disservice by having so much of the themes just expressed directly through dialogue ("Just let go") or, even worse, narration.

Two or three moments of cinematic excellence aren't enough to make up for a lackluster script and ultimately forgettable narrative. It's worth seeing for those moments, I guess.

!!!Heavy Spoilers!!! ahead: I don't want to watch a man travel across the galaxy just to have him literally tethered to his father and have to cut the cord to let him go both physically and emotionally. On a scale of one to on the nose, I rank that a naming your fictional character whose profession is stripping "Twerkalina."

James Gray NEARLY does it for me, and I was excited to see if a larger budget and genre filmmaking would elevate his work -- and it does, just a bit. This journey is straight-forward and linear, not even overly revelatory, but it's immersive in portraying this epic space travel as this gives our main man time to ruminate on father-son relationships and mankind's destiny that interrupts that (which concludes with not the cheeriest closure). Overblown blockbuster moments bring it down, though.

The human drama is somewhat mediocre but the ambition is admirable and the visuals are excellent. Basically the reverse-side of Lost City of Z, presenting the relationship between the obsessive, publicly idolized father and the son living in his shadow, this time from the son's perspective.

Given its anemic pseudo philosophical plot, Ad Astra could have been justified only as a pretext for some breathtaking cinematic space travel. Unfortunately, it is as boring visually as it is dramatically. And since when making a sad face in front of a camera is considered acting. I definitely want my money back... and my time too.

I’ve been feeling it somewhat, but I think I’m officially sick of space films. This one wasn’t bad and actually uses space to create some spectacular scenes, but I’m just done with it.

Brad travels all the way to Neptune to discover that there is barely any plot to be found among the stars. Despite excruciating attempts to sound profound, his monologues end up hollow. Worth a watch for the visuals, but that's about it.

Nitpicking about realism in this movie seems like missing the point. This was pretty good. Visuals and sound/music were very nice. Pitt did well. But my reaction to it on first watch is sorta same as it has been for all of Gray's movies, liking it but feeling something is missing to make it great. That moon rover chase scene was incredible tho.

The trailer sold me and I like the slow pacing. Pitt does what he can - in fact, he's quite good. As expected, HVH's picture perfect lensing makes the film look like a million bucks. (Well... you know... it looks great.) But sadly, the film doesn't work. Even more unforgivable than the unnecessary and highly distracting voice-over (and this is saying a good deal, mind you) are the implausibility of a number of situations and the lack of anything resembling a climax or a point worth caring about.

Brad Pitt goes to space to search for his father, who searches for extraterrestial life (or maybe god?). This leads to a lot of daddy issues, sadness and isolation for Brad, who delivers yet another great performance this year. The space scenes are breathtaking and almost alone worth the price of admission.

Meaningful, visually gripping, and atmospheric. But it also includes execution miscues, some oddly unique melodrama, and an inexplicable hollowness.
