Ad Astra, whaddya got for us?
Daddy issues? Check.
A plot about space travel that sure seems like a metaphor for the emotional space between a parent and child? Check.
Am I getting 2001 vibes? Sure. Not quite as psychedelic, of course, but the feeling of being unmoored and location-less (and somehow kind of liking it) is definitely there.
Was I nodding off while I watched? Yah.
Is that a mark against the film? Nah, it’s more about my own physiology. Nevertheless, I think Ad Astra works as a nice lullaby.
I give Ad Astra 5 Launches out of 4 Landings.
