Sign In. Ad Astra Hide Spoilers. Space travel as a vehicle for examining human relationships. TxMike 24 January My wife and I watched this at home on DVD from our public library. Frankly I had no idea what to expect. The story starts with Brad Pitt as Roy McBride, working on an International Space Antenna, so tall the commercial planes fly far below and workers have to wear space suits because of the lack of oxygen. Think 8 to 10 miles high. When an unexplained surge causes serious problems, Roy has to jump off and parachute to safety. Then the story turns to a suspicion that Roy's astronaut dad, Tommy Lee Jones as Cliff McBride, didn't die all those years ago but in fact is alive near Neptune and somehow is responsible for the dark matter surges that are harming Earth. And to make the mission even more dramatic, they fear if left unchecked it could destroy all life in the Solar system.

B rad Pitt never looked more beautiful than in this mesmeric, flawed, superbly photographed and designed space adventure from director and co-writer James Gray. But this is a film with thrilling ambition and reach. Pitt plays Major Roy McBride, an astronaut impeccably cool under pressure, and with a dedication to the job that has perhaps cost him his marriage to Eve a mute and largely flashback-centred cameo for Liv Tyler. Roy is, moreover, the son of revered astronaut Clifford McBride Tommy Lee Jones , who taught his boy the values of hard work and emotional self-control, and who became legendary on the news of his death decades ago while heading up a pioneer exploratory project near Neptune. Roy demonstrates his own sang-froid while repairing a rig the height of seven skyscrapers, which begins to shudder under the impact of a terrifying power surge, until McBride free-climbs out to shut off the voltage: a quite stunning opening sequence. His superiors consider that now is the moment to tell Roy that his father may still be alive, having somehow gone rogue or gone native in deep space, and is causing these terrifyingly dangerous surges. Yet perhaps the most interesting comparison is with Terrence Malick, particularly The Tree of Life , where Pitt is playing the father and Sean Penn is the grownup son, and the journey — the journey we all make — is into the past, into the treacherous territory of our own memories. It is when Ad Astra becomes disorientating and hallucinatory that it is most Malickian.

Yet, he even admits that the further he gets out to the edges of the solar system, the more damage his psych takes. But if you judge it on the quality of the story and characters then it is nicely entertaining and asks serious questions about how we humans relate to each other and to our existence in general. And we're off to the races with total, monumental scientific illiteracy.
