They made Apocalypse Now in space and it's actually... pretty good. I mean it's flawed but I really enjoyed watching it. At least it tried for something interesting.

I liked it as well.
What is some other space kino? I've seen 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, Star Trek: The Motion Picture, and Interstellar among others
Gravity
This was the last time I got baited by the oscars. I fucking hated this movie with all my guts

>"OH NO NO NO NO"

>repeat till end of the movie
had some aesthetic shots though
Thanks, just watched it. Didn't think it is great but it is a pretty solid space movie and it anyway, it is nice to watch Sandra Bullock's legs for two hours. I liked what they did with George Clooney's character, definitely not what the audience would have expected.

The "Helping Hand" episode from Love, Death, and Robots
I see you and appreciate you for mentioning my favourite episode

Incredible film. One of my favorites of the 2010s probably top 20
Prometheus is underrated. It gets shit on for having some dumb side characters but the substance, setting and story are high kino
Technically Solaris is a space kino
Decent cinematography but shit story.
Give your dad a hug
Yo daddy is the devil
Should have been 2 hours of climbing ladders on the space elevator as TLJ narrates a stream of consciousness
I liked it too, it had some heavy scifi stuff which I like but the plot was kinda meh, budget interstellar with the father son relationship making the protagonist go thorugh a lot to find him, great movie if u like space stuff but weak plot
>I mean
You talk like a midwit so I'm going to assume the movie's shit
OP is retarded. He didn't understand the movie. But, the movie is good. Don't be dissuaded by gay OP.
It's actually pretty... bad.
>the movie forgot its own major plot point
Embarrassing.
I mainly didn't like the aspect that ''mankind set all its hopes on making ayylium contact''. It's retarded, but I can look past it.
TLJ dad had an obsession and he didn't care about snuffing out ant lives if it brought him to achieving his goal. He wasn't a hypocrite either; his life was self-induced suffering.
I'm half-certain there's bladerunner tier kino buried somewhere beneath this film. You can tell that it got heavily edited, e.g the wife appearing for a total of 10 seconds, and I really hope there's a director's cut or something someday that gives us everything that's missing. Still, the final product is pretty good, I quite liked those emotion dampener things.
There was a lot of really dumb stuff, like the moon chase scene and the space baboons. Someone at the studio saw the original cut and thought it was too existential or something and decided they needed to action it up a bit.
>the moon chase scene and the space baboons.
Nothing wrong with both those things. The apes also had interesting implications for its worldbuilding, like humans doing creepy/immoral experimenting, unseen in the depths of space.
The way they were implemented felt out of touch from the rest of the movie though.
Is was kino as fuck.
Watching petes character discovering his need for humans around is a touching subplot that made this movie stand out from the sad little stream of bad cheap scifi like passengers, martian or nu trek.
They might as well have played Yakety Sax over the scene where Pitt gets the other astronauts to kill themselves.
why did Ad Astra kill the monke?
It's kind of a mix between 2001: A Space Odyssey, Apocalypse Now, and Event Horizon. It doesn't do anything revolutionarily well but just the fact that it plays everything completely earnestly is refreshing.
The biggest, most radical pleb filter of all time. It filtered million, nay, billions!
If your opinion on the movie is even a mere >it had its flaws but i liked it! you were FILTERED beyond measure, same as those who didn't like it and the ones who didn't understand it. It's unironically the most relevant piece of media of the last 30 years. Fuck you, pleb, you were filtered.
Explain
No, either you get it, or you don't.
Filtered.
Holy contrarian gay. Stuff like this is so sad to see. The guy wants to be unique and smart but is completely unable to actually support his position.
Checked. It's a "smart" movie made for stupid people.
No, it's a dumb move that thinks it's smart. It constantly tells the audience exactly what it's doing through voice over (i.e. it's literally impossible for it to filter you). Retards see moon pirates and space monkeys but are constantly reassured the movie is deep (by the movie) and pat themselves on the back for liking it.
>Apocalypse Now in space
I like that as well
if you watch it as pure sci-fi it's shit
>They made Apocalypse Now in space
No wonder it's boring as shit
>MY DAD'S NOT CRAZY
>goes to space
>dad is crazy
>comes back home
>the end
What a pointless fucking movie
Don't forget the sad random attempts at "worldbuilding" in the form of space pirates and the psycho monkey
That's one of the reasons it's similar to Apocalypse Now. The plot is basically go meet crazy guy, crazy guy is crazy, the end. But it's an interesting journey. But then in Apocalypse Now at least they didn't give Willard a quasi-happy ending. Yeah I know they didn't give Brad Pitt an actually happy ending in this one either cause they made sure to show that he still had a thousand yard stare at the end. But it was more of a happy ending.
It was complete shit and it was nothing like Apocalypse Now
Apocalypse Now is one of the greatest movies I've ever seen and in no way is Ad Astra close to how good it is, but I think that in the modern sterile Hollywood it's nice to see some movie that actually tries to do something similarly intense.
It's not intense in any way, shape, or form. It's a pretentious movie that happens to feature moon pirates and space monkeys.
In Apocalypse Now, they get a task to kill the crazy guy, and they go and kill the crazy guy. It's exactly what you expect and gratifying in its own grim way. The difficulties of the journey make the final result seem that much more fulfilling.
In Ad Astra, everything that happens is just a pointless distraction, nobody gains anything and in the end it would've been better not to bother at all. Moreover, the journey is just boring and predictable.
To those who enjoyed Ad Astra what did you think of High Life? It had some great performances but something about it was immensely unsettling/disturbing/satanic. Can't put my finger on it
This was the angriest fucking movie I've ever watched. I felt unwell sitting through the entire thing. I was floored when I found out a woman directed this.
I like the movie but it's kind of amazing that they managed to somehow do absolutely nothing with either Brad Pitt's father's character or his wife's character. It's a movie supposed to be about his emotions on some level but all the people he is supposed to be emotional about are basically stock characters. His dad is the generic crazy mad scientist who has no character development. His wife is the generic long-suffering woman who is alienated by her man's PTSD and finally leaves who has no character development.
It's a dumb movie that manages to be pretentious at the same time. It's like a dumb but likeable jock did a high school group project with a smarmy pseud.
>muh toxic masculinity
Shit movie
