After reading the polar opposite reviews from Plainview and Videodrome, I decided to watch Ad Astra today. I actually enjoyed it.
It reminded me a lot of 2001 and Gattaca. Ultimately, I enjoyed the action sequences, all of which were unexpected for me, and I liked seeing the glimpses of the state of humanity in the future. It was a fascinating look. Tons of great visuals.
The main character's story in the film was not as profound as I would have liked (the ending was spelled out far too clearly for my tastes), but I did find satisfaction in the story's resolution.
