Great movie, cerebral and visual entertainment at its best. It reminded me much of 2001, a Space Odyssey. That being said, I can see why some do not like Ad Astra. I thought 2001 was one of the best movies ever made, while my wife thought it was one of the worst. This is probably true of Ad Astra, some will think it is great and some will think it is terrible. What I found disturbing is how old the main actors were looking. I would not have recognized Brad Pitt. However, the talent is still there in them all.
