I feel like the general public is not going to like this film because it is thought provoking. It says a lot about the industry that it is out at the same time as a movie about gangster strippers and that's getting the buzz. In any case, this movie is visually amazing. It is smart and doesn't pander to the lowest common denominator. If you're a space buff it will be hard to find many things wrong with the film even though they take liberties with some of the physics. If you liked Gravity or Interstellar, you'll like this movie. Go see it.

Visually beautiful but the plot is just an astronaut with daddy issues, ehhh

Honestly think Ryan gosling or Toby Maguire could have done better. Movie was just weird. Where’s your dad? He’s in space. Go get him. Ok, goes and gets him. Hey dad come home. No son , Where’s your dad? I had to let him go. You traveled that far and you let him go. Yeah

Slow movie. Very disappointed with story line. Pitt was good but the rest of the show & cast really sucked. Save your money, it not worth going to see

Waste of time

Save your time and money ...!

exploration isn't just in space. thought provoking about coming grips to the human condition

liked the message in the end, but the journey was too long

Bad movie.

Lost 2+ hours of my life.

it is not action packed...but very thought provoking. nice change up from normal space exploration movies

Definitely a slow movie but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was entertained the entire way through. I'm a sucker for space though.

Was misleading in previews. Super boring and took forever to get anywhere with any details. Both myself and my fiancé almost fell asleep during it and we are avid movie lovers.

This is an original movie. Before I saw it, I had low expectations in Pitt's first science fiction film, but after seeing watching how well Pitt embodies his character's intense feeling of loneliness and the void he's trying to fill through the constant push into outer space. Ultimately he's able to fill that void in the end by losing apart of himself.

Horrible movie. Slow!

Onetime watch

Not bad

An internal struggle to deal with the loss of a father then finding his father is alive. tried to be a very serious emotional story but missed the point. plus space movies usually dont deliver very accurate details. very meh!

great emotional film

Really good flick. Bit of art and story telling.

It’s 2001 for this generation. Slow, beautiful to look at and ultimately the story of a father/son relationship.

sucked

visually amazing but story lacked depth

It's Bratt Pitt in space. What more do you need? Okay, seriously speaking, this movie left me in awe at the pure grandiose of it all. So many great scenes that were quite intense, other times beautiful. But this is a film-lover's film. It's slow and steady in its story, so don't expect sci-fi laser gunfights and spaceship battles.

It can be done in 15 mins movie instead for 2 hrs -_-

Not interesting at all very boring

watch it for some of the most breathtaking cinematography you'll ever experience. Plot is quite simple, but Brad Pitt is wonderful to watch!

a boy with daddy Issues lost in space. another way over the top cinematic display of bad ideas. the plot doesn't add up and to make matters worse its an writers block for a good ending.kids under 10 bored

I expected this to be more entertaining and thought provoking but left the theater scratching my head. Too many holes in the storyline. Gliding through space like he's hang gliding on Earth?!! GTFOH!

Worst movie we’ve seen in a long time. Love the actors, movie absolutely sucked.

Very well paced and beautiful cinematography

good up until the ending...

poor plot..50 sentence of dialogue in 2 hrs...art of cinematic effects yes..but everything else just dull

Could have been a great story. Missed the mark.

Interesting enough build in the story with some obvious expository characters. So much of a build up with such an anticlimactic ending. Beyond unbelievably unsatisfying!

No plot twists or complicated story lines just a simple plot with awesome acting

Visual are good but ultimately it's just a completely unnecessary and tedious journey by a man with daddy issues.

Felt like the story could have been so much more, but it just fell flat.

Oh my god!!!! So boring!!! What a waste.

Plot could have been more compelling.

Stop flying through space. You’re not an Avenger!

The story is basically about a son trying to rectify his dysfunction relationship with his father, cast in space. I don’t think you need to go to outer space to deal with these problems. How about “Malcolm in the Middle” or something that doesn’t involve special effects and huge CG expense?

Great character piece, not what people are going to expect from the advertising or Brad Pitt in space. Check out the plot before seeing it.

Long trip to outer space with no pay off at the end.

Good for the first half, but really stopped making sense and because kinda pointless.

excellent movie. must see

Not a bad movie, pretty good..but the plot is not as grand as Interstellar or Sunshine. Good pacing, but if you are expecting something epic.. it is not. If you strat with no expectations, then it's pretty good.

Combines the vastness of space travel with the intimate, small, innately human emotional bond between a father and son. Beautiful film

The baboons were great 🙂 The rest of the movie is rubbish and scientifically inaccurate.

Pointless storytelling, snooze fest, and just overall bad

Aside from verging on the one-note, that focus constricts the very linear, very self-contained Ad Astra, a taut but inflexible chamber piece in a genre given to symphony.

Ad Astra is beautiful, contemplative, and loaded with meaning — not an action movie, but one that leaves you with plenty to ponder.

Ad Astra (Latin for “To the Stars”) has dazzling eye candy and reasonable extrapolations of what near future space colonization might look like...But like too many imitation “Space Odysseys,” it flunks that most basic test applied to science fiction of this nature. It doesn’t make us care what happens, and I, for one, don’t care to see it again.
