  Review by davidehrlich ★★★★½ 38

  Neil Armstrong, a man better remembered for being first than he is for being funny, once said that his greatest regret was that “my work required an enormous amount of my time, and a lot of travel.” It’s a bittersweet line from a taciturn giant who always tended to find the right words; an admission of deep sadness coated inside the candied shell of a solid quip. But while no one expects an Armstrong quote to make them laugh, some people — especially filmmakers — only seem to hear the pain underneath the astronaut’s punchline.

  And they can’t quite wrap their heads around the questions that it raises. What could possibly inspire someone to climb aboard a volatile rocket and…

  Pitt’s work is the best performance I’ve ever seen in my life, and that isn’t hyperbole, I can’t think of anyone better. it’s a film that can’t be described really, something that I don’t know I’m ready to go into more. something that I’m not sure I can ever explain my reaction or longing towards. all I can really say is that it helps me feel hope about going into a new phase of my life, hope about living in spite of everything that’s ever happened to me, hope that there’s always a light coming from the darkness. it reminds me of everything I love about art, of the little kid who needed to connect to something more than just…

  "And that's what almost killed you."

  Obsession, love, grief, outer space: all the same airless, psychic crucibles, the scariest environments imaginable.

  Review by Joe Jatcko ★½ 81

  These are my least favorite kind of bad movies--the ones that *seem* like good movies. They think if they get an actor we've heard of and surround him by sage-seeming old guys, a teary-eyed woman, throw in a lifeless color palette, and aggressively-dramatic score, that we'll all *feel* like we're watching a good movie. And then, for good measure, have...everyone...talk...so...slowly...so it seems like they...have...something...important...to...say.

  It's a little insulting.

  If you strip it down to its plot, this is basically the same idea as Armageddon: blowing something up in space. But Armageddon knew it was a bad movie, reveled in it, was set free by it, and it had the decency to be entertaining while doing it. Ad Astra, on the…

  This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

  Did the studio ruin this movie, by adding so much shockingly vapid narration? Throughout the entire film, we hear Pitt explaining how his character is feeling over shots that tell us exactly that on their own. So many lyrical, evocative images scribbled over by babyish dialogue laying out what the film is supposed to be saying. It's abominable. I don't need to hear Pitt mumbling "what have I done...?" over a shot of his haunted, pitiful face. I'm not a fucking idiot.

  Did James Gray ruin this movie, by taking it too seriously? There is a Mad Max-style shootout/car chase in a war zone on the surface of the moon. There is an attack by a feral baboon on an…
