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.

        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.

      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

    I mainly didn't like the aspect that ''mankind set all its hopes on making ayylium contact''. It's moronic, 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.

        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 frick.
    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.

    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.

    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. Frick you, pleb, you were filtered.

      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). morons 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.

      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.

          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.

          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.

    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

    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.
