Completely pointless season. Trying to be too artistic for its own good.

Absolutely terrible movie. Spencer shows enthusiasm of a sloth in dialogue delivery. McCarthy is doing a parody of her own work from other movies. Cringe worthy dialogues and most lame and predictable storyline. Special effects are from 60s.Does nobody watch the scenes once filmed and say "we can't show this to anyone!"

Brad Pitt vanity project. Don't get me wrong, I am a sci-fi buff, space movie junkie even. Still I found Gravity a waste of time and Martian a tad too positive, but both tried to entertain, even if in a juvenile way. With Ad Astra, you get excellent special effects, amid complete ignorance towards science or even basic reality in any compressible manner. Even the basic Newtonian laws of physics are trashed in an effort to tidy up the story line. There is a glimpse of the upcoming commercial space age. Brad Pitt has acted well, and as said before, graphic effects are stunning, but lacking in a good story.

I was very worried....... Really really worried, when they announced the show. Couldn't imagine that you could capture Catch-22 on screen. Having watched the first episode, it is not a total disaster. It is presented on a more serious and mature note and misses the complete absurdity by a margin, but tries to convey the gist of the book. If you haven't read the book and don't love it, then you would not get the point of it at all. If you have read it, then you would appreciate the text all the more.
