is this possible?

No. The first time a rock hits him in anywhere other than his center of gravity, he would go into a spin. He would quickly start tumbling, and the shield would no longer be between him and the rocks.

And thats assuming that the rocks are not moving fast enough to make such a flimsy shield useless in the first place, which is unlikely. Nothing is moving slowly in space, each of those rockets is a bullet. Or a cannonball.

Nah interstellar all the way. Not even a contest.

This. I've watched Interstellar at least a few times, and there were pats of it I enjoyed.

Ad Astra was so awful I was counting time and waiting for it to be over when I watched it in theaters. The plot is nonsensical, the themes of the story are oppressively cynical, and the main character is a plank of wood. Our establishing character trait for this guy is that even when he was falling to his death his heart rate never spiked because hes *just that stoic*. Which is absurdly stupid, but also lets you know immediately that this dude is never going to show any fucking emotion this entire film. Which would be fine if there was an ensemble cast for the movie to play him off of, but he's alone for much of the film and so our only interaction for this character is him talking to himself in robocall psych evals.

Its just dour and boring, and the ending of the film completely fucking forgets what the initial crises was that prompted all of this in the first place. Because if it had bothered to remember its own setup, the MC is dead and he killed millions of people by scuttling the ship the way he did.

>2010: The Year We Make Contact > 2001: A Space Odyssey

I agree, though both had shitty tacked on overly happy endings. Interstellar dude should have died when the tesseract closed, and ad Astra should have ended before he reaches the Earth's surface.

dogshit > ad astra

Literally bait.

interstellar is propagandistic trash that makes absolutely no sense

yes, ad astra has issues like this but they pale in comparison to interstellar

ad astra is a movie about a son that defies all odds to get closer to his father and has infinitely more emotional depth than interstellar, but i guess i shouldn't expect you autists to realize that

>ad astra is a movie about a son that defies all odds to get closer to his father

I mean, thats technically correct. In the same way that LOTR is a movie about a man that defies all odds to get closer to a mountain.

Yes, the MC of Ad Astra is pretty explicitly fucked up by daddy issues, and he gets some closure after meeting his dad for all of 4 minutes before he dies. But the implementation of this entire arc is extremely barebones. Its more of a suggestion of a story arc than anything else. They movie has nothing else to work with, but that doesn't mean what is there is good. It has nothing to say.

>It has nothing to say

it doesn't need to say anything, it's a cool sci fi thriller that tells the story of watching the towering guardian of your childhood shrink into insanity and death, it's something a lot of us are going to have to go through with our parents

Dad hates you that much he lives in Neptune. When you track him down and travel light years he kill’s himself.

Also monke

nah

This one had propaganda too

DUDE NUKE SURFING LMAO

thank you for this post

hold smaller panel above your head and superman towards debris, problem solved

I don't think that this would 100% solve the problem, since it takes shockingly little force to create a spin in zero g and it doesn't prevent you from getting shredded by an impact of that velocity, but you are unambiguously correct that it would be a better plan because it minimizes the chance of impacts in the first place.

Making the best decision in a bad situation, 10/10.

I dunno

it solves the center of gravity problem but momentum would still be an issue

seems like having enough of it to make it through with no further thrust could make those initial impacts enough to break stuff

Both films were diminished by attempting to add broad appeal nonsense to an otherwise good script. But Ad Astra definitely suffered more for it.

Both kinda sucked

let's see you even try and properly articulate how you think ad astra suffered more from it

Monkey. Space. Fight.

ad astra is the judge - (drama + romance) + (action + scifi + thriller)

what are the kind of movies Pitt will work on as an elderly man? He's pretty close

Interstellar might not be the cinematic masterpeice that people claim every Nolan movie is, but it was largely still the movie it advertised itself to be. You went into Interstellar based on the trailers and you got pretty much the move you were promised.

Ad Astra added a couple of pointless action scenes so they could put them in the trailer, and as a result the trailers pretty much outright lied to audiences about what the movie was going to be about/what kind of movie it was. Its appeal to a broader audience was deceptive, and set viewers up to be disappointed.

ah. and i bet you think you're only pretending to be retarded too

you're right that interstellar delivers what the trailer promised but the movie promised was trash because it was already entirely formulated and conceived from the ground up with broad appeal and propaganda in mind

it's an exaggeration to say that the trailers for ad astra 'lied' however and i couldn't care less that some kino action scenes that kinda made no sense were added, overall it's just a more well put together, coherent movie that isn't trying to be much more than a story about a son and a father

interstellar is overtly propagandistic, lacks emotional depth, and has way more flaws from a scientific perspective

Yes.

>le title in latin
peak midwir

>dude there is no God
>we shouldn't think about wasting stupid resources on exploring space and colonizing other planets
>just sit on your sofa on earth and consume, goy

unironically one of the worst most demoralizing films i've ever watched

you guys were bitching about this stuff when the movie came out, but i thought all of it was just cool window dressing. never understood why some of you guys hated it all so much. plus the scenes were cool

dude what?????????
that has nothing to do with ad astra and i have not even seen it since theaters

The upcoming Tom Cruise space movie will blow both out the water

interstellar was half magic though. At some point it pretty much becomes "it is future tech magic, aint gonna explain it" while ad astra was supposed to be more grounded

>god is you from the future inside a black hole
>humanity is a planet wrecking parasite and thus forced to explore space and colonize other planets
>don't worry though your lying traitorous government will still save the day

interstellar is soooooo much less demoralizing

I don't understand the scenes blatantly wrong like this. Do they just not care? Or everyone involved filming that scene and making it to the cut was just dumb?

I just watched Ad Astra and while I still enjoyed Interstellar, I'd agree that Ad Astra was a more touching movie. I'm just a sucker for son telling his father he loves him without actually saying it, though.
They're both solid movies, though, but I get discussion on these forums have to be about shitting on something, even when praising something else.

>interstellar is propagandistic
go back to r*ddit theres no propaganda in interstellar besides pointing out that humans will sooner kill the entire planet before admitting they are wrong

Only "good" bit of ad astra was the ending because his dad would rather kill himself than see his family and admit failure kek

Opel Astra is one of the like 5 movies I walked out of the theater, what a shit show

Westerns would be based

Ad Astra was an atrocious movie and if you liked I must seriously question your movie IQ

Interestellar, Ad Astra, High Life, First Man, Gravity, Moon, Martian...
All shit. I have no idea why they insist with those space movies when they simply suck

I find it amazing how both the Lunar and the Martian bases in Ad Astra had gravity akin to that of Earth. Why was that never explained?

>didn't even watch the film

bravo

ad astra is complete garbage, it even has fucking space pirates but not cool pirates, gay and lame pirates

that would explain why you think that's not the message

This is a movie that thinks that you can't send radio waves to Neptune from Earth or the moon, only from Mars. Accurate depiction of low gravity was never really their big problem.

Speaking as a research scientist with a background in planetary science and orbital mechanics, no. Speaking as a fan of sci-fi movies, yes.

>pitt
Good actor but honestly terrible casting choice for that movie

Ad astra ia the biggest pleb filter of our generation. Years from now people will look back to it like 2001: a space odyssey

K I N O

Ad Astra is a rare sci-fi film that I turned off halfway in. The fact that people like it makes me feel like an alien. I found it legitimately offensive.

Ad Astra is about how autism is genetic.

Stop same fagging shitting on a movie loser. You will never be as handsome as Brad Pitt no matter how many shitposts you make

this is why you don't get invited to parties

Can all you fucking retards settle down, is ad astra worth a watch or not and can I get a simple TLDW for an autist user like myself
