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

Waste of time

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

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

Save your time and money ...!

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

Lost 2+ hours of my life.

Bad movie.

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.

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.

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.

Did not like it. Thought it was boring. I was falling asleep.

Good Movie to sleep to.

Super slow, don't watch if tired you will fall asleep, but it was thought provoking.

Slow, boring, couldn’t wait for it to end although Brad Pitt was nice to look at!

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

20 min in. Wow this is kind of slow. 1 hr in my buddy fell asleep. This movie isn’t for everyone. Visually stunning but narrative is weak

sucked

Brad Pitt is always great but I found this film a bit boring

Horrible movie. Slow!

what did I just see? it made no sense! I tried to follow the story but got so bored after 30mimutes.

This movie is stunning. The visuals are very well done, you can’t help but stare in awe at how amazing space looks. Action scenes are also intense and there’s even some scary stuff. The acting and storyline is great as well. A great film indeed!

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!

As a space movie Ad Astra is okay. But as a space movie dealing with the human condition makes the film better. This movie is not about action but about the characters and the situation they deal with every day. And how those decisions and feelings affect others and themselves. If you expect a fast paced movie skip this one.

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.

great emotional film

what a great message

good up until the ending...

Great movie, a-lot of mind blowing ideas that seem realistic even for a futuristic movie!!! MUST SEE

Slow and thoughtful. A reflection on journeys, isolation, and our connection to our parents and how that reflects in our connections with our lives.

Slow paced but an amazing movie if you pay attention.

I wanted to like it, it just moved too slow for me.

save your money!...

One of the best movies I have seen all year!

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

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

It was Heart of Darkness in space! Ad Astra was a very sad film about finding out who you really are and the effects parents really have on you. Regardless, if they're present or absent. The special effects were boss.

not everyone in my theater loved it, but I thought it was amazing. must see even if not a must love.

The pitster has done better.

Very reminiscent of Full Metal Jacket. It's a journey across space, with small stories and adventures along the way. Definitely a movie for adults with a strong attention span

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

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

space scenes were great. But wait for Netflixs

Horrible! The most exciting part lasted like 5 minutes (monkeys).

Something different and unique, and very good movie.

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!

it was somewhat suspenseful in the beginning ....but then started counting sheep couldn't wait till it was over !!

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.
