Watched in the theater 09/22/2019


This movie is paced quite slowly, I liked (not loved) it. I agree with the panel, many interesting plot threads were shown and quickly dropped.Ruth Negga played a character that should have gotten her own movie. Donald Sutherland was great, but they wrote him out way too soon. The lawlessness on the moon was intriguing, but never explained.  Brad Pitt's character had a decent arc.  As for any message to take away from this film, maybe it is just a simple one. What we are here and now is what we will be there and then? Just find a big screen in a theater with a superior sound system, settle back and enjoy the 2 hours and a few minutes while comfortably in your seat munching your popcorn.



I liked the movie. However, my friend in I were part of an audience of 6 in a theater with a 260 seat capacity. I am guessing no box office records for this movie. Actually it is too bad, this movie should be seen on a theater screen with high quality sound.



AD ASTRA is latin for "to the stars"
