All I can say about this movie is that it is beautiful. From the cinematography to the soundtrack to the acting everything about the movie is perfectly executed creating an emotionally connected experience for the viewer. If you have not yet seen this movie I recommend that you put it at the top of your to watch list because it's what I believe to be one of the best movies of 2019
I went into Ad Astra expecting to see another sci-fi action flick where Brad Pitt is tasked with saving the human race from an alien invasion with a huge blue sky beam in the finale. Spoiler: Ad Astra is not that, and it works.
Ad Astra is an emotionally complex film that centres around the character of Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) and spends its 2 hour runtime focusing on the exploration of his and his father's, Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones), characters and relationship.
While at points it can feel a little slow and the concept of the shockwaves threatening Earth, which is introduced in the first act, doesn't make that much sense and isn't really explained, I absolutely loved this film. Pitt's acting is one of his best performances allowing us to not only see but understand his emotions and thought process throughout the film. The interactions between Roy and his father are heart-breaking but painfully realistic. As well as this, the cinematography is beautiful, delivering stunning imagery of space.
My overall review of this film is that if you're looking for a light-hearted sci-fi blockbuster this is not it but it manages to be so much more and be a heart-breakingly real film about parent/child relationships and the way they affect people's lives even decades later and is definitely worth the watch.
