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.

Ah, okay.

Yeah, sort of an Apocalypse Now, but bad, and with stars..?

[Dogbert41]

So you gave it a four out of five stars?

tried to watch it online a few days ago, but the film would not load on the site - figured it was a hacker anyway.

there really hasn’t been a good Scifi movie in a long time. “Interstellar” being the last candidate, prior is maybe “District 9” and “The Fifth Element”. Fantasy: “Life of Pi”

I’m right with you on your critique. Saw it yesterday. Did you notice Brad Pitt is looking a lot like Robert Redford did in the Sundance Kid sans the moustache?

This was not my idea of a good sci-fi flick.

The tv series “The Expanse” was far better IMHO.
