I thought it was really good, why does it have a bad audience rating?
>>217819064I turned this shit off at the monkey plot.
>>217819064because it says aliens dont exist and space exploration is pointless
>>217819107kind of true though
Jumped the shark at the chimps
>>217819064audiences think they're smart and smart to them means no fun allowed. so they see the moon pirates and space monkey and figure it is below their consideration and dismiss it as something to be looked down up. suffer not to concern yourself with what they think.
>>217819121no it's not. we don't know shit about what's out there and if we don't try to explore even if it looks impossible then we'll be as retarded as our ancestors who for thousands of years never thought about crossing the Atlantic ocean because they thought there is nothing out there
I like the soundtrack
>>217819064Pseud bait that insists upon itself. The movie is trash.
James Gray is too arthouse for a commercial genre
>>217819064unoriginal apocalypse now in/heart of darkness in space
>go to see Ad Astra>good start>le space monkeys>le space piratesBest believe I fucked that theater up. My only regret was taking a dump before I went.
>le MOON PIRATES we be after ye spacecoins yeeaarrgghhh
Why the fuck is everyone always complaining about the monkey? It was such a small, mostly irrelevant part of the movie.
>>217819407Kek
>>217819064The poster put me off seeing it for ages. I finally watched it and it was alright.
>>217819237the other side of the ocean is still part of the Earth you spastic, imagine conflating this with traveling to and wasting a bunch of pointless energy just to go to some dead-end inhospitable star systems.
The space monkeys are just the movie yelling its point. Humans go to space and instantly bring dumb violent instincts with them. Clean lab, big science mission, still turns into chaos in five seconds. The scene is supposed to be blunt and stupid. If you think it is random or funny, that is literally the joke being on you.
i wouldn't have minded the monke scene if the cgi wasn't so bad
You know a movie is pseud bait when everybody in the movie has that thousand yard stare in their eyes and everyone talks....like........this. Like everything they are saying is super deep and important. its now you know a movie is wannabe arthouse trash made for queers, fags and people that think they are smart and deep but really aren't. They simply have their fedora's screwed on too tight. Pic rel your typical Ad Astra fan.
>>217819600>and everyone talks....like........this.only the protagonist does because he's a detached psychopath and his dad who's a depressed scientist.
Because it's a regurgitation of decades of space movies told through the lens of le modern subversion cynical bullshit
>>217819237the difference is that the other side of the ocean is habitable. and we had no idea what was there.but when it comes to shit like mars, we know exactly what's there, and it's just dust and radioactivity and it costs a shitload to get there - ONCE.
>>217819064Nothing happens and the visuals are mid.
>>217819600doesn't the movie go full on nihilism in the end? imo redditors and fedoras fantasize about le space aliens and le sci fi to give life meaning and purpose which is antithetical to the movies message.
>>217819697>full on nihilismIf that's not Fedora-pilled then I don't know what is.
>>217819237Problem is that space is fucking incomprihensibly massive, if your point is to look for intelligent or councious life on other planet, it will be easier for you to try to hit a penny with a handgun from the other side of the pacific. It's a pointless and fruitless endevour. Space is so fucking big that it's almost guaranteed life out there, even intelligent life, but what makes life on other planets almost guaranteed also makes it impossible for us to contact each other. Nearest intelligent life might be 200 000 lightyears away. It's better to spend that energy and effort on our own solar system and planet.
>>217819727fedoras will say they are nihilists but then presuppose logic and mathematics like some Pythagorean occultist.
>>217819674>cynical bullshitonly to a redditor manchild as >>217819697 put it. it's pretty clear in its message of embracing what we have because true happiness lay there, that's not cynical unless you're a misanthrope (a cynic)
>>217819064Who cares Kino of this type goes either under appreciated or misunderstood until a decade after-Great Soundtrack-Great Color Grading-Unique take on space in using Sci-Fi Realism paired with a soft Christian religiosity also shows the person who wrote the script and dialogue actually had something he wanted to put down and say. Personally I welcome more productions like these. Also Rec other Brad Pitt flick that is Wolfs-Dark City-Vanilla Sky-Tron Legacy-Gattaca
>>217819411look at the 'people' above you just parroting exactly the same thing. People are retarded. Ad astra is a cool visual film and that's enough for me
>>217819064Presents itself as "hard sci-fi" yet laughably absurd things keep happening throughout the film.
>>217819121we dont know whats out there, are you telling me that with the millions and millions of star systems out and not one has some form of sentient life, come on
>>217820841bargaining stage
>>217819411They’re smarter than you and need you to know how freakin smart they are
>>217819064>why does it have a bad audience rating?It isn't a Fast and the Furious movieThere aren't any superheroes
>>217819064apocalypse now, but in space
>>217819064
>>217820937this was a good scene, can't change my mind
>>217820841only like 10% of stars are actually habitable for life and among that 10% our sun is in like the top 1% because it's uncannily stable with it's solar activity and cycles which is needed for life. plus most starts are actually in regions of space with too much deep space radiation to even support life like in the galactic core where the vast majority of stars are located.
>>217820937>>217821004>the big blue marble... never ceases to amaze mekino
>>217821004>Idiot producer forces a chase scene in the 2nd act because muh capeshit>good scenechoose one. it had nothing with the movie. it's as if another movie stopped by for a visit
>>217821112space pirates tied the whole movie together, space pirates are awesome
>>217821112It's world building, you retard. The main character is on his own mission, but everywhere he goes has other people doing their own thing. The world is living and not just empty waiting for him to arrive before coming to life. The moon has a conflict on it. There are animal experiments in space and they go wrong. There's stuff on Mars, etc.
It makes people extremely butthurt if you point out that space will be exactly like Earth instead of some weird competency porn where everyone is a good guy above the Karman Line.
I liked it a lot but people think it's boring
Space isn't real
>>217821248Real space is boring. I hate the idea that everyone wants to force every movie to be like star wars. It can still be plenty interesting being slow and realistic. If it's not their taste, that's ok.
good neet core 3am raining outside movie to watch while being alone and single in your 20s and 30s/
>>217819064Because despite being good, it's dragged down by how slow it sometimes is and by the dumb Moon pirates and space monkeys scenes. Otherwise, it has one of the most epic space feels ever put to film, especially once they get to Neptune.
>the premise of the story is that a scientist became depressed cause he couldn't detect alien radio signalskek
>>217821214world building for retardsmoon pirates? please. how did they get there? how do they breathe? what do they eat? why don't lunar satellites find them easily?something so extraordinary needs a little set up to be believedinstead some nepo baby, retard thought the movie needed a chase scene and simpletons didn't care
>>217819064It's good. It's like Blade Runner meets A space Odyssey. However, it was pozzed by the producers. I hope they release a director's cut.
I liked the ending monologue about the burden of life, that was pretty good
>m*on pirat*s>sp*ce m*nkeysthe ultimate retard filter. if you even type down those terms without censoring them , you are the lowliest of plebs, have no internal dialogue, can't girate a 4K apple in your mind's eye, don't get hypotheticals and are a subhuman all around.
>>217819140Homage to a space odyssey you stupid monkey
>>217821371who knows, who cares, it was fun
>>217819359I instantly dismiss any poster that thinks using "le" is a legitimate form of criticism
>>217821404for me it was him holding onto a rocket from the outside with one arm as it blasted into space like some beast of nature mad lad.
>>217821483that's what truth seeking does to you, you feel like you can move mountains.
this scene was great
>>217821483>for me it was him holding onto a rocket from the outside with one armnever happened at any point in the movie, he was in the airlock
>>217821501why didn't the woke astronauts believe him?
>>217821404>girate
>>217821417it looks dumb to me
>>217821030riiight because we have mapped the entire universe!
>>217821560looks cool to me
>>217821560ur mom looks dumb when she chokes on my wiener
>>217821371space pirates are based and cool, who the fuck cares how theu got there or where they came from, youre reading way too much into it instead of enjoying the movie
>>217821030Yes but if earth is 1 in a billion, there's still hundreds of earths in the milky way.
Because moon pirates are retarded
>>217822107Oh you misspelled BASED, no worries its a common mistake.
>>217822107You probably like feathered dinosaurs
>>217819237In 2032 they’ll unveil their new big space telescope based out of chile that will get images of planets on the ecliptic plane of Alpha Centauri. When they find out that there are no habitable worlds within a 20-50 ly radius of earth then the only thing that will matter is space mining and creating colonies on the moon. Mars is pointless.
i remember only parts of it..but what I remember was that it was stupidhe had some special ability his heartbeat never goes uphe is calm as cucumber till some emotional momentbut it was all so stupidwere stakes that the entire solar system gets wiped or somethingand they are fucking around...meh it was a movie
>>217822096There are probably millions of “breathable” (you must take into account microscopic organisms and debris that you inhale killing you even in worlds with breathable oxygen) worlds in the Milky Way. The odds are that earth is the only habitable planet within our cluster of a few hundred star systems close to us which means extra solar space exploration is pointless and that’s not including the obvious fact that it is physically impossible. The only thing that matters going forward is space mining and moon colonies that can help with increasing our quality of life also including longevity and youthfulness and elimination of all physical and psychological ailments!
>>217819600Genre movies = fan service. Arthouse is the opposite, so they fail. Unless it's a big mind-bending theme park ride like Annihilation (even if subversive)
>>217821655You're not allowed to like cool stuff here
>>217822849Places like this make me realize why we either get zany irony hyper comedy or grey day skies of nihilism coated hedonism with nihilism pudding
>>217822960>grey day skies of nihilism coated hedonism with nihilism puddingkino
>>217819064It's a movie women can't understand.
>>217820736/thread
>>217823031my mother actually liked sci fi and the movies that I liked growing up and would watch them with me, that was before she was corrupted by feminism later in life and all she does now is watch low tier netflix slop while she withers away in real time. sad to see.
>>217819064Poor man's version of Interstellar
>space if nasa hadn't been ruined asthetic>schizokino I liked it
>>217820841We are genuinely at a point in human history where we can start to put some error bars on the possibility of life in the universe. People are still sifting through keppler's data, and tess shits out a metric ton MORE data to the point a human could never sift through it all by hand, and they use AI/algorithms to comb the data and pull out anything that matches what you're looking for "earth sized planets inside a certain zone." We're a telescope generation away from being able to directly image exoplanets, which means you can use spectroscopy to analyze the atmosphere of the exoplanet. Life on a planet is going to drastically shift the atmosphere, even if its not advanced. The earliest extinction event that nearly ended all life before it got started was called the Oxygen Catastrophe. A cell figures out photosynthesis, and booms because now the sunlight isn't a thing that sterilizes and kills, it is now a source of energy, so you had massive floating mats of algae shitting out tons and tons of oxygen into the atmosphere. Early life was all anaerobic, and oxygen is a super nasty caustic element. A few early bacteria figured out how to burn oxygen and sugar to make energy, and that little guy is the ancestor of the bug that became mitochondria, and the great great grandpappy of all animal life. The same way those bluegreen algae would eventually become encapsulated in bigger cells to eventually become chloroplast. Anyone looking at the atmosphere of earth from a distance would know something weird was happening because you don't have that much free floating oxygen for any period of time before it oxidizes whatever it touches (this is why mars is red. Oxidized iron). And thats not even including all the byproduct of industry and the atomic age that would stand out like a sore thumb.
>>217823132Anon its just getting older, my mom became a reality television junkie and my dad is glued to fox news. They both used to have good taste in movies. I remember my mom trying to hold back her anger as she was trying to explain to her friends or our neighbors that there was another movie with Hannibal lecter in the 80's directed by the guy who did miami vice, and everyone was thinking she was making shit up, and she's like I READ THE FUCKING BOOK! I SAW THE MOVIE! Then decades later I'm going back and watching all the Mann movies, and when I get to manhunter my brain just starts replaying that ancient memory, and had to call my mom.
>>217823138So it's like Android to iPhone, one is good, and the other is overpriced junk for retards? Sounds like Ad Astra is pretty good then.
>>217819237https://www.wired.com/2008/08/space-limits/Don't overthink it just enjoy your life anon
Deep Impact is the thinking man's Armageddon. Ad Astra is the thinking man's Deep Impact.
>>217823403yeah nah
>>217823403Interesting
>>217819064Dumb plot + Indiana Jones in Space.Only kino part was the shoot out in the moon.
>>217819237Maybe interstellar travel will be possible eventually, but I seriously doubt intergalactic travel will ever be achievable. It would take literally billions of years for us to reach Andromeda Galaxy, even at a theoretical high speed. And that's the cloest galaxy to our own.
It was dry. No fucking lube. Same with First Man.
>>217822510>AnnihilationThat is though provoking science fiction done right. Ad Astra is soulless boring pseud bait where everyone acts like they're in an art movie with that fake art house line delivery instead of acting kike real people.
>>217819237Earth has had detectable signs of life on it for 4 billion years and as far as we know has never been visited by any organic/artificial life during that time. "Solutions" to the Drake equation suggest there are thousands to millions of other intelligent species in our galaxy, yet:1) Again, they have not visited us. 2) They haven't colonized the galaxy using self-replicating spacecraft.Either they do not exist, or they do exist and don't travel around despite many of them likely being far more advanced than us.See the point? It's meaningless.
>>217819727Fedoras pretend to rationalists but simply secularize christianity. This is way beyond them
>>217821371>I hate fun, stop enjoying thingsWhy are you like this?
i liked it the chimp scene gibes it a bad rap
>>217819237We can't ever know if anything is out there until it's light reaches us. Which is why Ad Astra's supposedly deep message is retarded. It's trying to say appreciate what you have in front of you based on a theory of bullshit.
>>217819107humorous, given that space too does not exist
>>217819107It says intelligent life do not exist within our reach.
