Is there a single person who is actually excited to watch Ad Astra? It looks so bland

First Man isn't even a year old, user.

>directed by James Gray
Kino. All the brainlets who came to film expecting Interstellar 2 or big action film will get BTFO. Based Gray making character study and dad son kino for almost 100 million dollars.

A lad I know said it was shit so I've avoided it this whole time.

It's good. Very nice mixture of character study and exciting thriller. Despite knowing what happens it's still tense. I think the lad you know might a be woman or a homosexual.

Anybody who likes halfway decent movies should want to see this

So no, most people on Yea Forums don't care

His suggestions have been fairly solid in the past. I might give it a shot though.

what happened to this, why is there no hype?
i can't believe i first heard about this brad pitt space movie from my dad who saw an ad on tv

First Man is kind of dad core film but elevated.

I am.

I'll give it a watch

Only capeshit gets hyped now

Studio doesn't know how to market James Gray film. They tried to make it look like Interstellar 2 but the film is not that at all. Basically all action scenes were cramped in the trailer. The film has no aliens or any shit like that. It attempts to do hard sci fi exploration and travel. I don't really think it's that accessible to mainstream audiences. But it's a great companion piece to First Man, similar main characters.

May be you should educate youself then? This kino was in our menu for a long time

Imagine reverse universe where Joaquin looking for his dad in space meanwhile Brad playing Jester

They digitally de-aging him now? He doesn't look like pittu

So fight club in space?

I saw the trailer. I'm not interested at all.

Lmao don't remind me

I'll probably see it just because I haven't been to the theater this year except to see the Matrix re-release. I'm sure the space scenes will be good at least.

yea im gonna watch it bc pitt usually does kino.
not gonna go the theater route but ill prob just buy it on prime

I haven't seen anything in theaters this year except Tarantula's film. Movies are in the toilet right now unless you're a zoomer who loves capeshit.

im a millennial and ive just been capeshittted to fucking death.
literally lived thru 2 decades of almost yearly capeshit movie releases.
so sick of the entire genre and refuse to watch any more of it.

No space movie could top this years Apollo 11 doco. This is going to bomb hard.

I was interested before seeing the trailer

fuck off noah

Yeah, I am. Looks entertaining and done by the guy that did Lost City of Z.

Same. I like sci-fi, but the plot of this one felt completely uninteresting.

I dislike Noah but his good ratings so maybe he made something worthwhile. I'm more of a Terry fan.

It's Apocalypse Now in space. Even has similar narration.

its wierdly uninteresting

the trailer looked long and convoluted with parts that don't mesh all for a script generated by a GPT-2 script writing bot

Brad pittu? Im asian and ready to watch some kino

I liek space to be honest

i am

but movies are trying to be appealing to them

The whole appeal of James Gray was, he was this 25yo wonder boy who made a mature, slowburn, melancholic and intimate crime movie about a broken family in the mid-nineties, when a whole generation of young American filmmakers raised on VHS started taking over the indie and festival scene. Weinstein built his empire on this wave. But unlike Tarantino, who made ironic and cool and bloody crime movies, Gray was never cool, from the get-go he was a boomer in a young man's body. Obsessed with continuing the spirit of the New Hollywood instead of doing current trends, or referencing b-movies and 90s counter-culture. He was never appreciated in the US - but Little Odessa got him a prize in Italy, and afterwards he became a critics darling in France and a Cannes regular, he was championed in particular by Claude Chabrol, less famous than Godard or Truffaut worldwide, but one of the co-founders of the French New Wave. The French critics love crime movies, they coined the term film noir, they worship writers like Ellroy. He was heralded as the new voice of New York underworld filmmaking, a spiritual son of Sidney Lumet and Martin Scorsese, an instant auteur. He drew heavily from his own family memories and experiences, the depressing neighborhoods felt authentic, the characters carried the weight of the world on their shoulders but remained modest and quiet. His lighting evoked Italian paintings, his music borrowed from opera instead of pop rock, he would low-key reference Renoir and Visconti... All the little highbrow subtleties in his films were noticed and cherished, he was the last champion of a tradition of tragic and intimate crime movies while opportunistic rip-offs of Tarantino completely ruined the genre. In the US, he was ignored, non-marketed. Weinstein produced The Yards, butchered the ending, and released it almost straight to video, while Gray was now becoming a cult "misunderstood doomed artist" figure in Paris and Cannes, the 90s Cimino.

I used to only like Brad in crazy roles. But after Once, I am ready for any BradChad kino. Call me excited.

I read the review from a hungarian site which i give credit. They said its great. Already bought tickets on monday

i watch any aaa scifi movie desu my friend

and now, 25 years later, what is his appeal supposed to be?

Yes.

good read!

tfw it's

Hairkino

and

Graykino

But after his crime trilogy, he was so convinced he was an auteur... he thought he was above the genre now. He's in a very peculiar mindset, knowing he's a rockstar at Cannes but a bum in his own country, his ego is very fragile, he wants to be seen as more than a macho genre maker, so he wants to start making women characters... He made a character study, Two Lovers, without the artifices of the genre, and his aura immediately started disintegrating. It's beautifully made, but it's not good enough. It's the exact same soul and great craft as his previous movies but without the underworld macho appeal, and it feels flat, undercooked. He is so obsessed with being Coppola, the aesthetics of Gordon Willis and the likes, you need to understand this. He was very successful at aping the Godfather movies, because his own life experiences and sensibility resonated with the type of material, and the type of pacing it needed. Immigrant as him trying to do the aesthetics of Godfather 2 flashbacks, to say something important about the birth of America... it looks gorgeous but so emotionally flat, lacking. This woman character, this time period, and this story, there's nothing personal in it from him it doesn't work. At this point he's undeserving of the hype. He's no Coppola, Coppola had a fire, a madness in him, while Gray is a good little student good at doing his homework, but he won't come up with something unique and strong. And that's a big problem, because while he was good at aping the Godfather... after that he decided he would do Apocalypse Now. A complete different beast, you know like Aguirre or Sorcerer, going mad in the jungle... it's not Lumet or Mean Streets, it's not about about authenticity and intimacy, it requires a visceral visionary mad man, big dick energy, a Milius or a Herzog in the mix. Both Z and Ad Astra want to be Heart of Darkness, a man getting lost in his own darkness and a crazy journey etc. but he's too safe and bland to pull it off.

I don't watch movies so no.

his eyes look like shit

uncanny

It's one year old shit. Any other lead actor than mr. Beta Gigacuck would be a better choice.

they've been shilling it for so long I don't even know/care when it is/was/will be on cinemas

>Is there a single person who is actually excited to watch Ad Astra?
yes

Is this poster ?

The worst thing is, that the trailers are absolutely MISLEADING. They're promoting it totally wrong to get people into theatres but those people will be extremely pissed once the movie starts.

It's not as meditative as "Tree of Life" but normies will hate it a lot. I predict a C Cinemascore (or lower) and a 60%+ drop in week 2.

It looks like it could be interesting but it's up against Rambo so it won't be getting my money, this week at least.

I'll get around to seeing it, but I'm not really interested at all. Shitty trailers will do that

Ah yes, no shiny cgi explosion fest and monsters for the gen z shitheads mean the movie is bland

>hard sci-fi about near future space expansion
And I only learned about it on a Mongolian basket weaving chat room. Fuck hollywoo

He would if he didn't start doing boring shit like Tree of Life

yep, they squeezed that tit until it was purple and it made them billions.

You understand it's only about money, right? If they could get you paying for a movie you didn't see that would be optimal, because they wouldn't have to make it.

Everybody is looking backwards because old people run and own everything, got it.

Needs a skybeam and a visually exhausting crowd mayhem scene.

Pitt isn't ugly enough to play incel joker

Jesus fuck use punctuation and paragraphs you sperg.

punctuation and paragraphs are reddit

i actually think ima hit the kinoplex when it hits Romania

No zoomers love faux 80s colorful and textured shit like Guardians of the Galaxy, WW84, Joker, You Were Never Really Here, Drive, Only God Forgives, Midsommar, Stranger Things etc etc

Ad Astra is the depressed millenial film buff aesthetic

Little Odessa was embarrassing really. He peaked with Two Lovers

I plan to see it. I guarantee it's gonna be a movie that women can't understand.

You're goddam right I'm excited.

Convince me this is actually true.
I heard this and it got me interested, then I watched the trailer and it got me uninterested.

Just got a ticket, I'm ready for kino

The trailers are unmitigated garbage. Nobody in Hollywood knows how to market a movie that isn't woke, oscarbait or capeshit.

Got IMAX tickets for Saturday. Hopefully it's kino but I keep my expectations pretty low these days.

damn, in yuropoor it's like half that price m8, no IMAX though

>watching trailers
lmao

That's all Pitt makes is bland movies. Because he is a bland personality

lmao who names their kid Ad?? fucking bullshit

11 euro here

Got the ticket too. Even worse here. It's like 11.5$.

this was surprisingly great, kinda of a hard film to market tho, that's why the trailers weren't very good

i guess i should peep some other Gray stuff now

Latvia. The ticket I got was for some sort of an IMAX ripoff theater called ISENSE.
The regular 2D price is 8.2 euro.

I saw the trailer before "Once Upon A Time'..."
I was very interested until they showed all the moon-cars racing and fighting and shit. It was jarring.
What the fuck is it actually about?
