Review of Ad Astra

Ad Astra (2019)
3/10
Shallow film attempting to be deep
29 October 2019
This film is not worth seeing. It's long, it contains parts that could easily be left on the cutting room floor and featured this constant monologue from Pitt about personal relationships that became vacuous and dull.

There seemed to be this theme around psychological stability and a future where people's mental state is monitored ridiculously. If all this was supposed to add up to some deep insight, it never delivered to any degree and instead seemed to rehash an old concept of searching of intelligent life out in space compels a reflection on our own relationships and connections with others. Overall, this aspect of the film was constipated overall.

The ending of the film was a total let down and completely unsatisfying. To a large degree, the film was more boring than anything else and it never achieved high notes. Avoid this one, deserves a short run at the cinemas.
