Ad Astra was very boring

I wanted it to be over at the halfway point. It was very pretentious and a massive disappointment.

Yes.
Kept checking my phone to see how much left I had of the 2 hour run time.
The moon stuff was really cool but that was about it
Pretty sure TLJ just showed up for an afternoon to film his scenes . Easy paycheck for him

I want spoilers. What is this ending that for some reason needs explaining!

Generally any movie that's heavily marketed (above what it should be) ahead of the opening tends to suck

That sucks.
Especially for a 2 hr movie. When the standard is 3 hr movies where you don’t want to run to the restroom 2 hrs should be easy.

I noticed on RT that critics loved it but half the fans hated it. So it's one of "those."

It’s textbook Oscar bait. Go see Rambo Last Blood instead

To shed some positive light on the movie, while it was certainly not what I was expecting going in (thinking it’d be more of a supernatural, or metaphysical, as another poster put it, suspense), I still enjoyed it for what it was. I think it’s a classic mismatch in the way it was marketed versus what it is skewing expectations.
I enjoyed it being a return to more of the subtle nuances telling the story rather than blockbuster effects. On the surface it may have seemed slow or boring to many, but the story keeps moving forward (and outward) and every component contributes to McBride’s (Pitt) evolution and the story as a whole. I feel it had a nice balance of beautiful sound, visuals, action, and acting to tell the intended story. If you go in to the movie knowing and accepting this, I think you’ll be more inclined to find it gratifying.

I don't have a ton of in depth criticism, but that was one of the more boring movies I've seen in a while. It wasn't particularly bad, just not quite what I expected. It's like I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and nothing happened. I give it a 6.5/10
Posted on 9/22/19 at 10:46 pm to whatkindanameiskirby
Bad movie. Wish I hadn't spent the money to watch it. 4/10

Definitely a big ole Meh. The things I did enjoy were the space travel, it seemed somewhat realistic. The movie just had no substance, at the end I said to my girlfriend(who I had to wake up). “This MF flew all the way to Neptune for that?” It would have been a decent watch on my couch, but not worth going to the movies. I’ve just been repeatedly let down since Gravity. Interstellar, The Martian, now this...smh

When I saw this was going to be a September release I was worried about it.

Supported.
Was expecting something close to Interstellar. What a fricking ridiculous expectation I set for myself.
Do not waste your time.

Ad Astra reminds me of Contact and Interstellar. High brow sci fi, that is pretty boring but if you don't like it people will think you're dumb so you have to say you liked it.

Saw it friday. This was the first time in a long while that I fell asleep in the movie. Granted I was tired and it was a 10:30 showing and we were in the reclining seats, but I fell asleep after an hour or so.
I woke up to my wife tapping me saying "well that was disappointing." I told her not to spoil it for me

Can verify i feel asleep halfway thru but did catch the last 10 mins. I asked my wife did he find the dad? she filled me in on the rest. Saved me a good 40 mins of having to watch

I really enjoyed Brad Pitt’s acting in this movie. You could really tell that he’s a professional of nearly 40 years how he became the character. Some of the stuff that the character does, any other actor would’ve probably tried to overplay it, but because he knew the character was calm under pressure and never showed any emotion, he played it like that even when crazy stuff was happening to the character. I really enjoyed nuances in film like that
Other than that, it was a pretty boring film
