Beoordelingen en reviews

A surprisingly simple story, with great effects to go along with it. If you enjoy space movies, there's almost no reason you shouldn't enjoy this movie. HOWEVER, there is a big reason that I can see why people wouldn't like it, and that's Pitts performance. He's a fine actor, but is dry and emotionless in this; it should be noted though that this is intentional, that's his character, always calm and collected. It doesn't quite reach greatness but if I could i'd give it 3 and a half stars.

Ad Astra has interesting sequences and action but overall it's far too dramatic and heavy. The effects are great, a land rover shootout on the surface of the moon is hella cool. Everything inbetween drags, the music, the script, the sad monologue. With a better musical score, some more dialogue and character building I would've loved Ad Astra. Instead this movie is ok at best. I think the trailer is a bit deceiving and most people should expect a drama rather than a sci-fi thriller.

The stars in the movie make me give it a 3 star rating but that is it. This movie could not hold my attention for get me excited about any part of it... it was slow, without much action, not interesting like the Martian or other space type movies. I liked the actors that was it.
