That was our high school motto.

“Per Ardua, Ad Astra”.

Brad Pitt is selected for a space mission that apparently involves his long last father.

Daddy hittin' the Viagra, huh?

Anyone with TDS in it like DeNiro, Kathy Griffin, Judd Apatow? If not I’ll probably go see it.

I really hate to admit it but I shy away from profiting people who are against our country, way of life, and our President.

Let the French watch his crap films.

I saw the movie this weekend. I did not like it.

The story is a moody psychological drama, slow-moving except for a few contrived action scenes. There are no really engaging characters. It has a noir ending of the type greatly favored by Hollywood writers these days. The ending is slightly leavened with a promise of reconciliation.

The plot is absurd. The physics are completely impossible both for the crisis that begins the story and for each of the action scenes.

Other than that, the popcorn was good.

Yes, I saw it Friday. Understand that science fiction is my meat and potatoes, I love the genre, but Ad Astra was a huge turd. A cross between Heart of Darkness and supposedly 2001 I guess it was supposed to represent finding the depths of himself and humanity. The message I came away with was, the human race is all alone in the universe, so we need to stop fighting over resources and love one another.

It was a poorly told story with terrible science and almost childish direction. It felt very ‘70’s with a couple of scenes being laughable as they were so ridiculous. I’m thinking of writing the studio and asking for my money back. I really love sci-fi but I despise the ignorance of this film.

I saw it yesterday. More of a long lost father-son reunion than decent SF. It could have been so much better.

It’s pretty amazing. Quiet, thinky. Good stuff. Exactly what all the whiners say doesn’t come out of Hollywood anymore. So of course they won’t go see it.

I almost never go to the movies and whenever I see a ‘space movie’ I KNOW it’s going to be some kind of a claustrophobic thing, you know, you can’t get out of here kind of plot.

Why should I see something that for an hour and a half makes me anxious?

However I did go see Downton Abbey last night. Loved it.

Hell, I’ll take living in a mansion with a bunch of servants doing all the cooking and cleaning anytime.

Sue me, I love big beautiful rooms and lots of pristine land.

Started watching it on Kodi. Crappy movie. It was like it was trying to be 2001. Very pretentious. The story was confusing. It didn’t hold my interest at all and I love science fiction. A lot of times if I like a movie that shows up on Kodi I’ll go to the theatre and pay to see it. But not this one.

I saw it Friday. I liked it. I enjoyed the story and thought the acting was really good. There were a couple of weak points in the plot but I tend to overlook those. It was WAY better than any of the recent Star Wars or MCU crap.

My hubby & I saw it yesterday. What a huge stinker! I told my husband it was a chick flick with males in a lousy sci-fi format. We are happily telling all we know to avoid the movie at all costs!

I hear a bunch of leftists are upset about Sly Stallone’s new RAMBO movie so I might go see that...

I work in the space biz, our company had some visibility in the movie and premiered it for employees. I was looking forward to an exciting movie. It was a dud, plodding along, Pitt was moody and brooding about daddy issues the whole time. I kept waiting for something interesting or exciting to happen, never did. Huge disappointment. Don’t bother with it. My 2 cents.
