Ad Astra Ratings & Reviews
- Dan S Turpin23 februari 2025Latin phrase meaning "to the stars," per philosopher SENECA. Ad Astra (2019) is not about space exploration in the traditional sense. It is a journey inward, a meditation on isolation, fathers and sons, and the emotional distance that can feel as vast as the solar system. Brad Pitt plays Major Roy McBride, an astronaut whose pulse never rises, no matter the crisis. His father, Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones), was a legendary explorer who vanished years ago on a mission to Neptune. Now, Roy is sent to find him after mysterious energy pulses threaten Earth. But this is not a rescue mission—it is a confrontation with the past, with a man Roy has spent his life trying to understand. Director James Gray presents space as silent and indifferent. The Moon is corporate and violent. Mars is cold and empty. Every step of Roy’s journey brings him farther from human connection, even as he searches for the one person who shaped his life the most. The film’s most gripping moments—like a pirate attack on the Moon or a distress call from a derelict ship—are not about action but survival in an unforgiving void. Pitt gives a quiet, restrained performance, his emotions buried beneath routine and discipline. His voiceovers are sparse, revealing a man who has spent his life running from his own feelings. When he finally reaches his father, there is no grand revelation, only a painful understanding: Clifford chose the stars over everything else, and Roy has been following the same path. The film’s resolution is not about saving Earth or even saving Clifford. It is about Roy realizing that he must return, that life is not found in the endless void but in the connections he has long ignored. Ad Astra is not a conventional sci-fi film. It is slow, introspective, and deeply human. It lingers not in spectacle but in silence, in the spaces between words, in the quiet grief of a man coming to terms with who he is. It is less about reaching the stars and more about understanding why we seek them in the first place.
- ys5gf820 april 2025Boring, hard to pay attention to.
- plexolog1st17 april 2026Space movie with action, what more can you ask for.
- Kaldek2 april 2026I watched Ad Astra when it first came out and didn't really dig it. It's grown on me over the years and become somewhat of a comfort movie.
- Leustad3 december 2025WTF did I just watched !!
- tellum5 mars 2026Pretty bizarre movie with cool concepts like a moon buggy chase scene, but for me the ending was flat.
- Octothorn15 februari 2026Seemed to start well, but lost me about midway. Regrettable. I don't even care to find out how it ended.
- melonstack18 januari 2026A visual marvel. If you enjoy space films, of course you need to watch this. A little slow and 'drama-ey' but that's fine. Nice to see Brad in this sort of vulnerable character state.
- craft194725 januari 2026Boring and slow.
- Gordon Hood24 januari 2026Although the movie did have action sequences and was a well executed movie in the story that was given, but it seemed like they tried to be a little too artistic with it, which made it slow and pretentious.
- Atif Chaudry3 december 2025Bit boring really. Gorgeous scenery and a very good cast. The story was quite interesting, but I drifted off at some point. Won't watch again, but don't regret watching, it was a slower paced sci fi and the characters had depth, which did make it slightly worthwhile.
- neuroparadox15 november 2025I liked it a little more on a second viewing after someone suggested watching as if it's Space Apocalypse Now. Which made sense and was interesting ,but didn't really change my rating. Felt more like Malick than Coppola.
- Kratouille10 september 2025At first, I thought it was completely boring. I gave it a second chance, and it is not so bad after all. There are quite a few impressive scenes, but it is still a bit slow for my taste. Acting is good, but there is nothing screenbreaking. I might watch again.
- Rolandas.Kol28 november 2025Nice start, but.... What a hell was the rest?
- Sam18 november 2025if this had been a whole movie of just the abandoned space station a la event horizon this would have been gas
