Ad Astra

This week's movie rental was Ad Asrra ...

a 2019 American science fiction adventure film produced, co-written, and directed by James Gray. Starring Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler, and Donald Sutherland, it follows an astronaut who goes into space in search of his lost father, whose experiment threatens the Solar System.

The movie reminded me of Solaris because both movies are really psychological dramas about human relationships that just happen to be set in outer space. The special effects of Ad Astra are really good but what tends to stick with you is the main character's emotional situation.

The movie got good reviews. Here's the review from The Guardian: Ad Astra review: Brad Pitt reaches the stars in superb space-opera with serious daddy issues
