Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaUnlike several contemporary films where CGI is used to depict the spacecraft and the vast space, director James Gray decided to use practical effects like models and props for the spacecraft exterior shots. Also, instead of using CGI for planets, he decided to use still images to portray the surface of the planets. This same technique was used in 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).
- GoofsThe distance from Tycho crater (where Roy lands on the Moon) to the center of Farside (where the "Cepheus" is located) is roughly 1,700 miles. Traveling at the speed shown and assuming no stops, Roy's lunar rover would take a couple of days to get there.
- Quotes
Roy McBride: [Last lines] I'm steady, calm. I slept well, no bad dreams. I am active and engaged. I'm aware of my surroundings and those in my immediate sphere. I'm attentive. I am focused on the essentials, to the exclusion of all else. I'm unsure of the future but I'm not concerned. I will rely on those closest to me, and I will share their burdens, as they share mine. I will live and love.

- ConnectionsFeatured in Chris Stuckmann Movie Reviews: Ad Astra (2019)
However, I think the movie was ruined by its screenplay which lacks of coherence. The story is really weak and undeveloped. There are many fractures in the reality of space travelling,
You almost have the feeling that the screenplay was written to have a support for the images, nothing more.
So yeah, I give this movie a 6 and I'm sad to see how a possible epic movie is ruined by a weak screenplay.
