Look, you have to get a lot wrong for me not to enjoy a movie set in outer space. Ad Astra teeters right on the edge of total disaster. Yet there was just enough intrigue and grandeur to keep me captivated. It's a moody and bizarre film with some gorgeous scenery. I have no idea why Brad Pitt is in it. The script is half-baked. The plot is sometimes nonsensical. But I liked enough of it to recommend it. It scratches a certain indie-film-in-space itch. Just keep your expectations in check. This is not Interstellar. It's somewhat like...I don't know.. the 2013 film 'Enemy' ..depressing, psychological, bleak, you're not quite sure what the point is, but you don't totally regret it.
