Ad Astra Movie (2019)

Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones, how can you go wrong right? Great Sci-Fi film about a few topics. One, is the question of is there life outside of Earth? What does time alone for months really do to humans and what would the world be like in the future, how would it really be? What I really like is the subtle details of rooms and devices that they don’t focus on. Minor things like the rooms climate control show a futuristic presence that are very plausible in the near future. Also the way we think of traveling state to state become the norm traveling to say – the moon. No longer is it a place for astronauts it’s just a destination with living people on it. Our technology would make that trip like traveling to Florida time wise. There is also major conflict in the future which we are not surprised about. You get short glimpses of what futuristic battles could look like and what’s at steak if you run into space pirates. The scenery and CGI is profound as Pitt travels throughout our solar system looking for his father who was previously on a mission to search for intelligent life at the edge of our solar system. His father becomes lost in space without contact but the question is, is he hiding or is he lost. You also see right from the start of the film that Pitt is not your average space man. He is a fearless bad ass who stares right at death without ever flinching. He gets the job done and removes emotions from every action. This becomes another important aspect to understand about the film and how emotions have no place in military teams. The story is special and whats even more realistic is the climax of this film that asks if we are alone or not but if you watch till the end its a result that really feels most realistic to answer that question. No one wants to believe it but this movie shows just one possibility of what is potentially at edge if our solar system.
