While I enjoyed the visuals of Ad Astra, I found the weak script, plot holes and shoddy science to be very distracting. Brad Pitt is a fantastic actor, and he did an admirable job with what he was given. But, for my money (and I shelled out top $ to see it in an IMAX theater) characters and their conflicts need to be more fully fleshed out and better represented than what I saw in Ad Astra.
