Ad Astra

[Kane52630]

So what does this tells us about it's oscar chances?
September feels a bit like a grey area.

This release date for Ad Astra practically confirms that Ford v Ferrari is Disney's #1 bet for Academy Awards.

September is where Oscar buzz movies go to die

Looks very meh

I was lukewarm on this, then I read Candice Frederick's review for The Wrap and now I'm intrigued.

I feel like this is gonna be one of those flicks that gets labeled "boring" but will garner a lot of awards.

James Gray On Brad Pitt Movie ‘Ad Astra’ And Ambition — Interview – Deadline

That interview made me much more interested in the movie than the trailers did. (I still maintain that the trailers came off as rather generic.)

Most reviews call it Fury Road on the moon and with rovers, and they weren't lying.

 

[Farren]

Really liked the IMAX trailer. I think it's my favorite. Glad to see the good reviews too!

The movie looks interesting, no doubt, but the physics of rover pod-race looked wonky.

Seeing this tonight.

Can't wait!

[WATCH] ‘Ad Astra’ Review: Brad Pitt Is Stellar In Mesmerizing Space Journey – Deadline

 

[Filmfan93]

Aand this was slightly disappointing.

Jones and Pitt killed it, but the rest of the movie had its weak parts.

My biggest criticism - the jumping between planets and locations was way too fast. You don't get that sense of the long time scale of travelling from point A to point B.

Spoiler

Heck even in the end when the shuttle AI tells Pitt he has 2.7 billion miles to Earth, they take around 5 mins of screentime and then show him landing on Earth..

Interstellar, on the other hand, was masterful in that aspect.

Also ,what was Liv Tyler doing here? She literally had 1 min of screentime

 

[terry78]

Maybe that was to showcase time passing faster out there.

What does the tracking for Ad Astra look like?

[Web-Head]
