Ad Astra

uneventful horizon

where in the movie did they freeze someone?

"kill" this ;) *unzips dick*

Its like Apocalyps Now but in space

I didn't watch the film yet.
How did they manage to travel to Neptune then?

which part was hamfisted

It was a lifelong mission. They weren't meant to ever return. It's set in the future so the ships has better tech and Brad Pitt travels to neptune over 30 years after his Dad left so his ship has even better tech. It takes Brad Pitt 90 days to reach Neptune from Mars.

its problematic they implied Norwegians are literal baboons

Ok, that's still impossible based on the laws of physics.

I'd be up for some jack ryan in space type movies in the future.

is it fine to go see this on my own? there's no way I'm taking my gf

the studio forced them to reshoot a good third of the film after test audiences complained about not enough action scenes and a nihilist/bigoted message. read the original script if you don't believe me.

visuals were nice, I thought it was trying too hard to be heart of darkness in the lead up/journey but then when he finally gets to his goal the end is somewhat anti-climactic and hamfisted.

I'm not exactly sure what the monkey scene brought to the movie. They could have done a bit more worldbuilding or something or a bit more dialog between Pitt and Jones, I didn't expect Jones to leave so easily and willingly.

The whole lead up showed he had gone crazy but in the end he was fine?

It's never fine to see a movie alone.

Who gives a fuck?

>The whole lead up showed he had gone crazy but in the end he was fine?
he clearly wasn't if he left so easily and willingly

Its just a buzz word, mostly its just a man on a journey to find his father and himself. Brads character is a wall and he wants to feel.

Fucking retard armchair scientist.

have you any actual criticisms of the film, dogfucker?

it kind of undermined the whole 'complete the mission at any cost' mentality he had, its like they tried to make him Kurtz then gave up half way through.

i made a thread about this here

>user asks what part is scientifically impossible
>tell him what part is scientifically impossible
>HUAAARAGAH AAAARGH NAAAOOOOOO NOOOO AAARHG

Fuck off you didn't watch the film.
Why u posting about it then faggot

t. dogfucker

Remember, he has yet to see it. He thought people were frozen in ice.

Dislike the message that appeared to be,
" We are alone in the entire universe. So dont bother."

It's not though.

I didn't like the movie, my gf fell asleep 3 times while watching lol. I don't like how Brad's character so easily survived a lot of the random incidents throughout the journey. The final part when he takes off a panel from Lima as asteroid shield and manages to make it back to Earth surviving the nuclear blast and all that fucking radiation was completely unbelievable. Would have been nice if he just died with his father in the nuclear blast imo

apparently the original ending was the fade to white in the blast

The cinema was packed and broke the immersion of the movie. Dumb parents taking their children to watch this are dumb.
The movie was fine but Pitt is not a very good actor, he is more of a pretty face that women want to fantasize. I wouldn't recommend it, maybe watch it at home.

>Pitt is not a very good actor,

Maybe you're the one who should only wathc movies at home

I didn't get it either. It's incredibly non-happening and low energy throughout. No real tension. No memorable soundtrack either. Only standout moment was the random monkey but the protag just solved the problem right away. Interstellar is a lot better.

A family with two 13 year old boys sat behind me. They would not shut up and kept calling everything stupid. Every couple minutes one of them kept dropping coins onto the floor. I guess their mother was sitting next to me and at one point one of the kids leaned over right next to my fucking head and gave a tooth to her, said he just pulled it out. What the fuck just leave the theater and stop being such nuisances. At the end even the dad was making jokes about Uranus and said the movie was boring. I enjoyed it but there's always some idiot family at the theater.

The message was don't obsess on one thing and miss the rest. His dad was all about finding alien lofe and the beauty of all those extrasolar planets was lost to him. Fits since Pitt's character was supposed to be on the spectrum. Simply put, don't be a fucking autist.

I was the only person (except an older couple) on the kino balcony. I really like my towns kinoplex. Old building, built around 1920, modern projectors. The plebs mainly goes to the mall cinema

What's Pitt's problem with chinks?

>implying the US will still exist for any more than 20 years

That sounds very comfy user. My town has a few theaters, and one like that, except this movie was only playing at the one in the mall :(

I'm not watching it, mouse shill.

The only unrealistic part that really stuck out to me in a major way was that he was able to climb up and open the airlock door to the Mars shuttle cabinet before launch. The launch would have been aborted if he opened the hatch before takeoff, and he would have been fried and/or thrown off if he opened it after.

Overall I liked it. I didn't really get anything out of it, but the visuals, score, and acting were great.

The monkey fight made no sense, but the moon fight was pretty good at making the point that space colonisation might end up being wild west 2 instead of all the awesome shit people imagine

We don't freeze people anymore, we basically turn them into glass. It preserves the structure of our bodies on an already incredibly microscopic scale, and the detail with which we can preserve people increases all the time.
Eventually the cryogenic technology and nanotechnology/biological science will meet in the middle and we will be able to revive people, assuming technology doesn't stop progressing first. We might not be able to revive people perfectly, such as needing to transfer their neural structure into a different vessel or giving them a body transplant, but there isn't yet a reason to assume it's impossible.

A waste of 13 dollars. It’s literally a shittier Space version of Apocalypse Now. Don’t watch it.

terrible writing and characters
made no attempt to be realistic

Why was there a war zone on the moon? Did they ever explain who was fighting who?

>random monkey fight
It was a metaphor about isolation and the rage that comes from it. Not saying it was good, but movies are better when you think about them a little.

I liked it

movie is apparently pushing "toxic masculinity is totally a thing goy"
so i won't watch it

STILL LOOKED AMAZING IN IMAX IDGAF

ITS A BONE CHILLING SLOW BURN, IN SPAAAAAAAACE

You sound retarded

>Ok, that's still impossible based on the laws of physics.

It is impossible to reach Neptune in 90 days?
Okay what physical law exactly would prevent that, mr. armchair scientist?

Neptune has an average distance of 4.5 billion km from the sun.

4.500.000.000 : 90 = 50.000.000
You need to travel 50 million km per day to get there in 90 days.

50.000.000 : 24 = 2.083.333
That's about 2 million km per hour.

2.083.333 : 60 = 34.722 km per minute

34.722 : 60 = 578 km per second

The only known physical speed limit is the speed of light, with 299.792 km per second.

So actually you could go at 80% of light speed (239.833 km per second) and reach Neptune in 5 hours. And that would be well within the

TL/DR
Stop talking about things you have no clue about.

Think you're missing a decimal somewhere but you're right
Also speed of light being a limit is a meme, you can go faster

Tell him you can't be friends anymore

A big one to me was why did he have to travel to Mars personally to give a verbal message? He could just have recorded it and they could transmit it to there.

There was, what, 3 women in the whole film? And one of them didn't speak.

movie of the year.

578 x 60 x 60 x 24 x 90 = 4.494.528.000

still pretty spot on

They mention that different mining companies are fighting over the land

Weren't the electrical storms fucking with their comms? I think Mars was the only colony that had the tech and could still use it.

Watched it, liked it. Has its flaws. The world is nicely portrayed. I feel like they could have done more with the government conspiracy angle. The closure with the dad did feel much like closure, he just seemed like a senile old man, maybe that's part of the moral lesson the movie tries to get across? I don't even know. I just think the space command conspiracy could have been expanded better. The whole movie was just too realistic in the fact that nothing really happens. The world is cool tho.

some countries use a . instead of a , or a space to mark place.

he means 299,792,458 m/s or about 299,792 km/s.

no "you" cannot go faster. c is the maximum speed at which information can be transferred.

Now I just want a flick about pirates and territorial disputes on the moon.

My only real gripe with the movie is the ending message of the movie which basically boils down to "stop wasting your time out there. there's nothing out there, so be closer and kinder to everyone else, humanity is all we have"

Fuck that. I'm looking for some ayy lmao pussy.

why can't we go faster than light?

I have a feeling this is going to be another movie that becomes "only men will understand". For instance my mom thought Tommy Lee Jones' character was a piece of shit for leaving his family behind to go on some life-long quest, when i saw it as just an extremely dedicated guy pursuing his life-long dream to try to find any existence of life out there

He murdered people in the pursuit of science. That is kind of being a piece of shit. I mean he was captain, but his whole crew was going insane.

The space corps is part of the military in the movie, and mutiny is punishable by death

Tl;dr version is that you need infinite energy to accelarate any object with non-zero mass to the speed of light

They got lost about 30 years before, didn't they? I doubt Space Command even existed back then.

I get that but I was under the impression that the mission (TLJ's crew) signed up to spend the rest of their lives going out into the Heliosphere, where there was no return.

But it seems like the crew pussied out and wanted to home to their families which is when the mutiny happened.

I mean... why sign up then? You knew you were not returning to Earth, yet you tried to throw a mutiny when you couldn't handle the isolation.

that sucks m8, it was bad enough being surrounded by stangers and hearing their breath and uncomfortable fidgeting during the dead silent anxiety inducing parts of the movie.

This movie really does benefit from immersion, if you hvaen't, go see it early in the day or in a week or so when it won't be so packed.

Why were there so many explosions

I thought shit doesn't explode in space because there isn't any atmosphere

Dunno what poz means but as far as toxic masculinity idea being pushed it wasn’t egregious. Without spoiling, the toxic masculinity he’s referring too isn’t the sort that’s been pushed. It’s more about a guy coming to terms with the nature of life rather than having any moral connotations.

Was a great movie to go into cold without any expectations.

DIALOGUE BAD
WHERE THE ALIENS?
BAD MOVIE

I thought it was about learning that you didn't have to become your abusive/absent parent, and that its possible to detach from them and use their mistakes to become a better person.

The movie wasn't great, but as someone who came from a family with an absent father this movie somewhat moved me more than any other movies I've seen recently.

You don't need an atmosphere for an explosion, you're thinking of fire. And spaceships can burn because they're full of oxygen to keep the crew alive.

Pleb filter of the year. Nice...

Wut, that's not the message at all. The premisse if the movie is pretty fucking flawed though. Who gives a shitfuck about alien life, they (humanity in this story) were doing just fine and were only at the early stages of it, with still some cool shit to look forward to.

Meme science
Speed is entirely relative. It's impossible to PERCEIVE movement as being faster than light

I guess they were all a bunch of atheists who believed without a doubt that they would find alien life out there. After years of searching and finding nothing they found god and wanted to return home

Pretty visuals and soundtrack, the rest was pretty silly. Lots of actors that had a post-it note of dialog, and the movie was heavy edited. I wanted to enjoy it, but in the past 10 years, I think this is one of my least favorite movies involving space. Might change if we get a director's cut.

You can't accelerate to the speed of light, going faster than it is a possibility

I liked it but some of the voice over was clunky and the ending was underwhelming

The Tommy Lee Jones character did nothing wrong. He was just sad that he didn't found life signals

>I'm a brainlet who takes everything literally

Just came back from kino, it was bad
3/5

>t. roastie

Based and truthpilled

You are technically correct, there could be particles that always move faster than light, they are called Tachyons but there is no proof that they exist. I guess i should have said that it is impossible to accelerate to the speed of light from any speed less than the speed of light.

Correct, our whole perception of spacetime and thus speed is flawed which is why some people find it so hard to accept that c is the maximum speed. I think calling it "the speed of light" also contributes to the confusion since light doesn't really cause any of these laws. The maximum speed an object can move through space is 299,792 km/s and light just happens to move at that speed

It's about a father who taught his son to close off his emotions
It doesn't beat you over the head with the theme and it's never even alluded to through dialogue, just actions
Anyone who can't handle that should see another movie

Being metaphorical or """deep""" alone doesn't make the movie entertaining to watch. The whole theme of letting the past/father go was so hamfisted that it baffles me that people are calling this a great film. The inner dialogue was awful, broke the immersion and is a perfect example that you should follow the golden rule of show, don't tell. Reminded me of Blade Runner's theatrical release.

The only thing that salvages it is the visual direction, especially the Neptune scenes.

This, the only thing I wondered is if he could really be seemingly weightless as portrayed, but some napkin estimate yield a rather negligible acceleration.

But the neptune beauty saved the movie. The whole Start was shit

>Name one scene that doesnt make sense scientifically

Climbing up through the rocket as it was going off behind him.

Sudden stop to check on the other ship, you'd burn a lot of fuel and if it's some slow acceleration thing like an ion engine, you'd need way more heads up than they had.

How much antimatter did they have that it was going to throw the whole solar system out of wack?

1kg antimatter when mixed with matter gets you about 44 Megatons. It'd be bad, but even if the entire ship was made of pure antimatter, I don't think it'd be big enough to throw the solar system out of wack.

The heliosphere extends way, way beyond Neptune, so Lima project already doesn't make sense if it's going to stop there.

On top of that, they say that 'the cosmic rays get stronger as they radiate outward' which doesn't make a single lick of sense at all.

I mean, it's definitely on the hard sci-fi side, but they could have done some more homework to fix errors like this.

>ad astra threads keep btfoing armchair scientists with their wikipedia degrees
can a movie be any more based?

As someone who lost his father a few years ago a lot of it resonated with me. Especially Pitt's general numbness to everything.

I wonder if at one point TLJ's character was actually meant to be looking for God, but it easily flips with aliens. There's definitely a moral in there about getting so caught up with something you miss out on all the finer details in life. Life isn't about some grandiose discovery or endscape, it's the thousands of miracles that we see every day.

So as someone who has struggled a lot since his dad died I liked it. Other people in my theater were clearly snoring.

The crew mutinied because they had scientifically proven there was no other life in the Universe except for Earth. There was no reason to continue the mission. Better to go back home to Earth, humans, and their families than die in Space isolated and alone for no other reason than one man's broken boomer ego.

Don't just take the dads word for it, there's more universe than they could possibly ever "look" at via telescopes, and more to be gained by continuing their trillion dollar project than discontinuing it

As I was exiting the theater and old fat lady loudly exclaimed "I THINK THE ONLY GOOD PART WAS THE MONKEY!"

She might have been right, idk. There was some good cinematography, and tommy lee jones was really good given his short screen time. It felt rather anticlimactic, maybe that was the point though? It seemed like it was trying to build tension in the latter third, but it just felt flat. I don't regret seeing it, but I don't think I'd watch it again.

Thanks.

The Narration really made the film disjointed. Still it was nice to see space travel and it being reasonably realistic with staging and fast but not silly fast travel.

If you're a normie who grew up in a non-dysfunctional loving family you probably won't find anything in the film that resonates with you, but as someone who grew up with an extremely absent father I thought the film was deeply moving. Especially the confrontation with his father, which I thought was excellent and not "anticlimactic" at all. The moment his dad told him he didn't care about him or any other small brained people my heart sank.

Some of the most stupid drivel I've seen in a long time.

Complaining about science in a film that takes place in the future is retarded. Clearly in the future of said films universe they will develop tech that made that stuff possible.

I felt this way about 'Only God Forgives' concerning the overbearing mother. Many people hated the film and thought the story was weak and I thought it was amazing.

normalfags literally cannot even hope to understand the unique emotions and thoughts you develop from such an upbringing, of both having and not having a father

I really think it depends on if you have a good realtionship with your father or not.

My dad became a asshole after a head injury, but I still have a mostly good relationship with him even if he a sleeping pill addicted man who can blow up at any time.

My polish wife dad was a commie who was gone for years of her life as he was off in various soviet and eastern block countries doing his thing for communism , then when communism fell he told the family fuck off and died fighting with the Russians vs. the Chechens.

She cried when the dad said he didn't give a fuck about his son. As it really hit home that her dad didn't give a shit about his daughter that he had.

So I think this films millage may vary.

you guys have got to be meming. there was an insane amount of kino moments in this movie.. the swim through the lake on Mars, practically everything about Neptune, the tether struggle between father and son, when he enters the Project Lima ship, the fall from the earth bound antenna..

Just saw it. Great film all around, the monkey scene could be deleted though. If you thought it was boring, you're boring.

Can we still talk about this in two weeks when I see it?

yes

why was the co pilot scared to check the distress beacon?

Some poster yesterday said it had its beautiful visual moments but they weren't left waiting for that 'knock out punch' that never came. I felt that was a pretty accurate way to describe how I felt about it. I thought it was just okay

I'm sorry for your loss user. I think most people watched this movie for the space/sci-fi elements, action or mystery and were let down. It's a movie about the character and his psychology during his experiences, as highlighted during his very frequent psych evals. All the space and sci-fi stuff isn't meant to be the focus.

The idea that we are alone in the universe is a statistical impossibility. Though, I wonder if shitposting is a uniquely human pastime

Only fundamentalists do. The official position of the Catholic Church regarding the idea of intelligent life beyond humanity is that it is not incompatible with scripture.

Is this a new film added to movies women don't understand?

>"2 trillion stars in the observable universe"
fuck, meant galaxies

This movie hit me hard.

This. The universe is likely infinite. It’s just so mind boggling to me how people can even consider there is no other life in the universe.

Like you see an alien every day when you look in the mirror. Life is just the natural product of various factors such as temperature, atmospheric conditions and water availability not some fairy tale magic localised to a single tiny rock.
It’s just absolutely unbelievable to me that there really are people who believe that though

Technically if we go by the text and if we accept that god made the universe and the earth
And therefore did not come from the earth then literally that makes him an extra terrestrial

Was the face eating monkey not in the original script then?

The voiceover for the scene with the planets literally called them dead and their beauty surface-level and said they weren’t worth paying attention to.

Dude

is this a good watch?

It was daddyissues kino
Anyone who has some unresolved emotional issues relating to their father could potentially be deeply affected by this film

The distressed ship wasn't answering attempts at communications. Put yourself in his shoes, you're literally in the middle of nowhere and can die from the slightest mechanical error and now there's a complication on your mission. He was probably wishing the captain would ignore the SOS like Brad said to

It’s not you fucking retard moron, they didn’t find life, doesn’t mean there wasn’t any in the universe

He’s a tough guy who barely speaks in every one of these

also if he was just going to jettison himself into space why not just stay and keep doing shit

>My polish wife dad was a commie
Unless she is full nazi kill her and her ofspring, do not rise commies.

it was mediocre

Ad Astra was actual unadulterated space kino

what was bigoted

Not finding signals of life flying out there basically means that maybe we are not technically alone, but we may never be able to have contact with other life forms if they exist. That shit is even sadder because maybe the physics and the size of the universe makes all life inherently isolated until it disappears.

Alien life anywhere near earth is a meme. That was my favorite aspect of the film, shut the fuck up and quit sucking hypothetical alien cock.

Why would they find signals with that stupid ship that we can’t get from earth? The whole basis of the movie is flawed, sending a ship to Pluto won’t change anything, the universe is infinite and if there’s life it can be millions of light years away from here

NOT ENOUGH WOMYNNNN!

ITS THE CURRENT YEARRR YOU FUCKING BIGOT EVERYTHING HAS TO BE ABOUT WOMENNN HELLO?? FUCK YOU!

starts out as a movie about a man on a mission, space kino, WAR ON THE MOON!! (fantastic scene), with some really striking visuals that give each of its big set peices a very unique vibe and feel (high earth orbit, military/nasa office, moon, mars, deep space, then finally neptune orbit). starts as very well done but fairly typical scifi fare, with the almost film noir style inner monologue journal thoughts being it's most unique element

then it takes a turn and instead becomes an emotionally driven drama about an emotionally walled off man trying to reconcile the life and death of his father and the image of his father against who he really was, and what his son meant to him.

the last act of the movie is an emotional freight train that you are not ready for, but in my opinion was the best part of the movie.

it's also probably going into one of the top 3 spots in "films women will never understand" threads

>my epic science calculated that life exists!
go back to rebbit

Let me guess the original has Brad Pitt join his father to explore the universe while Earth is fucked?

Better premise than the actual movie.

They wasted Ruth Nega

Proxy war / Wild West on the moon was a better premise for the movie than what we got

We could have had space pirates fighting for control of the moon and instead we got depressed Brad Pitt

they went beyond detrimental solar activity for better observation
