Not kino.
Rather boring
Has some good scenes and visuals

What a pleb

would have had a much better atmosphere that fits the bleak ending if it didn't have that dumb ass voiceover the whole time

Son you were a mistake and I always hated your mother

Also theres space monkeys

I didn't get the message of this one

movie is called "To the Stars"

they don't even leave the Solar System

why are the Jews like that bros

The movie was dumb.

Actually, "Astra" doesn't necessarily have to mean "Stars" as in a plasmatic fusion reaction that generates heat and light, but any celestial body instead, so a planet would fit the concept. Let's not forget that as seen from the earth's surface, many planets do indeed look like proper stars in the night sky, due to their reflective properties. The term "morning star" actually refers to the planet Venus, meaning it uses the "celestial body" connotation of "star".
On a different but also relevant note, the Jewish people are not, as some would have you believe in certain internet circles, an evil people. First of all, it's important to remind ourselves that Judaism is a religion first and foremost, making such ethical associations irresponsible at best. Secondly, many people who identify as Jews have done good deeds overwhelmingly, and it's only a very small minority that has ever had an overwhelmingly negative contribution to humanity. Everyone is an individual, meaning everyone has the right to be judged by the content of their character rather than some other broader identity.

what did dad pitt do with ashtray?

His dad's mission was to try to detect alien signals that would be coming from other stars, and would bring us closer to the stars if it was successful.

still laughing at those moon pirates

I hate this movie with a passion. A sci-fi that sucks ass in both sci and fi bit. A family drama about a family you don't give two shits about. A movie about character's inner struggles with protagonist literally exposition-dumping his thoughts to a computer shrink. Plot powered by nothing but contrivances. Dollar store cyberpunk aesthetics. Moon pirates. Space monkeys. 25 mins too long. Shit colours and photography. There was nothing I liked about this piece of shit plus I bumped my car when driving back home from the kinoplex.

is ir about his adopted son?

plus I bumped my car when driving back home from the kinoplex.

Something tells me your hatred of it stems entirely from this because you couldn't be more wrong about those things you said

WE'RE WHARLERS ON THE MOON

While a factor it doesn't change anything I mentioned about it. What was the purpose of the Moon layover apart from featuring the ridiculous Moon pirate scene and having a place to drop Donald Sutherland? At least the pace of the movie would improve if a useless leg of the journey got cut out. Won't even go into the lame reason why Brad Pitt had to go to Mars to send a message to dad or the cringe scene of him intently waiting for a reply moments after sending a message that will reach Dad in like 10 hours.

pirate faction sets up shop on the dark side of the moon (symbolizes evil)

they occasionally attack light side (symbolically good) crews en route for their precious mechanical parts and possibly their flesh

CINEMA

The moon doesn't have dark and light sides

What was the purpose of the Moon layover apart from featuring the ridiculous Moon pirate scene

That's reason enough, pleb. Next you'll tell me the murderous chimp in space wasn't a cool alien homage that put audiences on the edge of their seats.

Movie was indeed kino
Many won't admit to it even now that the dust has settled many still have that stubordination stuck up their ass they'll die and turn in their graves still holdin on to that idea that this movie was not kino I'd say fuck em fuck those peoples and annyone who look like em fuck them too

The tonal dissonance between Moon Pirates/Space Monkeys and the rest of the movie was simply jarring. You can't feature two scenes like that in a super deep family drama.

Even if they were absolutely adamant about having a rover chase scene they could have made it into a Mars Pirates scene and shave off 20 mins from this garbage movie.

that shot at the beginning of him on that spinning antenna is one of my favorites in all of film, neptune isn't visible then but all you really need is its deep blue glow, feels very ethereal. the music just elevates it a notch.
(h)oly base(d)

The moon also does not have an American flag on it. I can't believe that boomers fell for that cinematic propaganda Goobels would have been proud

Goes to the moon and plants an American flag on it....I mean seriously....yeah people believe(ed) that shit

I can't wait for some Chinees drone to fly over the moon and not finding any evidence that Muhricunts never made it up there. Fuck tarts been lying since they stole, murdered and raped the land from the Indians

Pretty crazy that the next closest star is 25,300,000,000,000 miles (about 39,900,000,000,000 kilometres) away. There is no way humans will ever be able to reach a distance like that in outer space. How could we possibly have enough oxygen, food and fuel to reach there, let alone get back to Earth?

The Apollo landing sites have been imaged by lunar orbiters, including those from other countries.

perforates a folded paper with a pen

And the flags' shadows are visible.

Riddle me this: if it was faked, then why does the official Apollo 11 story involve the flag accidentally getting knocked over by the exhaust from the ascent stage when they left, because they planted it too close?

"It's just a silly detail that makes everything sound more believable."

Sure, I could accept that if it happened on one of the later landings.
But not for Apollo 11, it would be a sad and anticlimactic thing that you really don't want to include in your story about triumphantly landing on the moon for the very first time

tonal dissonance

nigger you forget about it a while after, those 2 tense moments literally only exist because those concepts haven't been done in any other movie which is a crime in itself and to keep the zoomers from abandoning ship, they're still very cool scenes on their own and make for a dynamic experience. also, moon pirates = star wars homage, murder space monkey = alien homage.

How could we possibly have enough oxygen, food and fuel to reach there, let alone get back to Earth?

Use stationary lasers/masers to propel small autonomous factory probes to near light speeds and have them prepare the system for colonization. Efficient nuclear engines to slow the probes down and to be used as initial power source. Once ready, send cryo pods or frozen DNA samples the same way and either thaw out adult humans or build kids from DNA and raise them via AI cyborgs.

we'll be long gone before we can get any of that done

You do it with a generation ship. You don't reach the destination star but maybe your grandchildren do.

who was funding them?

Underrated kino desu, some fags hate it because no ayys

gets BTFO by a single cometlet

shartmerilard educated incels trying to comprehend basic latin

Build it with redundancy in mind, send multiple ships so that at least one of them will make it, and have good AI and robots aboard that can quickly repair things if damage occurs.

The moral of story is not to disturb monke in gap session.

Do you know how many small rocks and metorites fly in space there's no way to travel in space and not get hit
A small piece of rock would go trough a spaceship like a hot knife goes through butter
Than you have the radiation which exceeds by far the amount that any living organism can make it through

Lets also not forget the gravity

In movies you see all astronouts walking in spaceships
In real life men have not find the tech to balance the gravity in space so lets say you semd a ship on a space journey for 200 years than these people will lose any sence of gravity and their children who are born on the ships will never know their gravity
This is inportmant because arriving to some place after such a journey will kill them because they can't carry their bones since they have never experianced that

In all seriousness all the space talk from governments are fantasy sci fi and money laundering operations
It's also a way to distract the population from real problems and world affairs
Stop waisting hours and hours on bullshit and set your mind to real things that occure in real time
Your minds are beeing held captive by a government narrative where there's no end to it and like that are you beeing controled (willingly)

The gravity problem isn't too tough to solve. Just have the crew spend most of their time on a centrifuge part of the ship which simulates 1 G.
There are potential issues such as having a stronger pull at your feet than at your head, but this is solved by making the centrifuge big enough that the difference becomes negligible, which it would need to be if it's housing hundreds of people or more.

It's a bad movie that repeatedly spells out how smart and deep it thinks it is to the audience (complete with hitting you over the head with continuous voice-over). It's pretentiously overwrought to the point it's both condescending and masturbatory. Given the above, it's impossible to be filtered by it and only a complete retard afflicted by Dunning-Kruger can walk away from it feeling like others missed out on what the film was doing.

Space monkeys and moon pirates but the voice-over assures us it's thoughtful and exploring heavy themes. What about the father/son relationship though! Sorry but no, anon. If you liked it there's a high chance you're just dumb.

Space monkeys and moon pirates but the voice-over assures us it's thoughtful and exploring heavy themes

This actually exposes you as the D-K retard though. Imagine thinking they're mutually exclusive, holy shit I'd hate being you, naturally you don't but that's the point.

The bigger the ship the easier it gets hit by small rocks flying faster than bullets in space

Simple??

Why them fucks never solved the problem or used it in real time fucktart

You simply ignore the radiation problem

There's also no solution to that nor will there ever be

Men can't even built a ship that can lamd at the deepest bodem of the ocean without imploding due to the pressure

Imagine going into deep space

Avoiding countless of trillion little rocks

Avoiding space radiation

Avoiding that no gravity will affect the crew

Avoiding beeing emploded by pressure

Avoiding starving getting sick from recycled food and water

Avoiding mental sickness combined with mind and body weakness

Avoiding fuel and tech problems for a couple 100 years

Ay Tone GEDDAFUUUUUCKOUTTAHEEEEE

t. Dunning Kruger retard who thought Ad Astra was deep

Lol

I agree with everything you said and I still liked it.

no you

The movie doesn't have any substance and the director/screenwriter is too pretentious to respect the audience and actually explore any themes/messages to the point they resonate beyond shallow ripples on a mud puddle. That's why everyone only remembers the laughably dumb-dumb action shit and everything else is completely forgettable.

The movie is bad and you've been told why. Sorry you're a midwit and had to have it pointed out to you how contrived a "weighty" movie featuring space monkeys and non sequitur moon pirates ends up being. I'd say you got tricked into thinking the movie had a higher message but I can't really use the word "tricked" when the writing felt the need to assure the audience that's what it was doing over and over. You weren't tricked--you're just dumb.

MUH HEART RATE

The space monkey was highly unnecessary

The bigger the ship, the easier it is to build it with redundancy that allows it to withstand damage and challenges like those.

centrifuge has, say, 12 modular sections which all have their own airlocks

if one of them is hit and punctured by a meteor, it gets sealed off from the others while it's repaired

It's in fact kino.

OMG

I may have never encountered a bigger retard than you

Government propaganda runs deep in this one

It runs so deep that this retard is spending braincells defending imaginatory government science fiction

Know this retard you will never find out because there will never be what was never ment to be for us

I pitty you and also what a waist of life

Woah, holy schizo ramblings. What does the government have to do with this? I've never seen any government propaganda talking about or advocating the use of generation ships or any other form of interstellar travel. Feel like you must have made that up.

Only retards and pseuds think that it had to be deeper, it didn't need doing more than it got done because it's not supposed to be philosophical or contrived like Interstellar is (which I'm quite sure is what most people were expecting beforehand and were bummed out it didn't turn out to be midwit-appeasing slop).

The emotional conflict is very straight forward, a man who was neglected by his work-obsessed father goes far out to save him, because he's the right guy for the job. It's a parallel between an emotional disconnect, and an insurmountable physical distance separating the two. He closes the gap only for reality to dawn on him that he's not going to mend his relationship with his dad because sometimes you don't get what you want and not everything's perfect, just like the father set out to find alien life and didn't. The latter realization also contrasts with the reassured need for human connection, which the father neglected his son. It's a long way of saying: people aren't perfect, but they're all we've got.

It doesn't try to be any deeper than that, which by itself isn't even deep imho, but it still rings true nevertheless. Only the pseudest of midwits would have a problem with a movie making a simple message its core.

Nietzschean movie about Aryan protagonist overcoming cosmical hurdles to reunite with his closest of kin

Jews: oy vey goy it's shit remember the space chimp!

Nice try.

Nice catch anon. Kino indeed, though it could do without the monkeys.
Shame they marketed it so wrongly

thanks chatgpt

Only retards and pseuds think that it had to be deeper

You mean the director/screenwriter? Lol. Didn't read the rest.

Didn't read the rest.

I know you didn't, deep down you know I'm right and don't want your illusion shattered.

very grandiose but kinda pointless and dumb at points

Do you know how many small rocks and metorites fly in space there's no way to travel in space and not get hit

From what I understand; if you even hit a speck of dust while travelling at the speed of light it could be disastrous for the ship? I even read how if you went through a dust cloud, or something like that, the resulting friction against the exterior of the ship while travelling at the speed of light could roast everyone inside like chickens in an oven.

So was the message of the film about nihilism or boredom or both?

I wouldn't say the message is nihilistic, it's about a man wanting to connect with his father and ending up disillusioned with the facts, but the broader message is that we should cherish those closest to us, which Brad does by embracing his wife in the end.

Israel

Even if that's true I'd still rather give funding to space programs than welfare

Yeah but a ship can't travel at the speed of light or anywhere close to it. Possible collisions with space debris would still be a concern but you would be traveling at 10% of lightspeed or less.

but the broader message is that we should cherish those closest to us

I didn't get that.
I got nihilism and boredom/ennui/pathos for man's quest to the stars.
reminded me of the same sentiment as Whitey on the Moon
the message I got was that Space exploration was a waste & failure for humanity and we should've just stayed on Earth.

I never really took the setting of it as central, it's always been a backdrop for the most part.

Really great movie. People who don't like it are people who don't have fathers.

I know you didn't, deep down you know I'm right

I didn't read the rest because the director is pretentious and feels the need to tell you how clever he thinks he's being by way of constant voiceovers. Thereby, saying "only a pseud thinks the movie needs to be deeper" outs you as a retard because the director himself had massive pretense. That's why I don't need to read your sperg. It's obvious the movie is bad to anyone with a brain and you're a moron who lacks one. Simple as.

ah.
that's fair.
You & I just saw it from different perspectives then.

voiceover means movie bad

wow great insight

Not what I said, dummy. Go pretend you're engaging with high art by watching a shitty space monkey moon pirate movie. Lol

ad astra

It's Latin.

more like estranged from their fathers.
I'll give it that.
if you're distant from your father (especially emotionally), the film is very relatable.
at the end, he is literally untethered from his father.
I'm not sure that's a good message.

high art

Not what I said, dummy. It's a good film, kino even, but it's not a thought-provoking medium-defining masterpiece. Just a very good experience overall. It sparked similar feelings in me as movies like Avatar and 13th Warrior did, you know, movies that require a soul to be fully appreciated.

space monkeys

moon pirates

one-note main character defined by a singular trait

It had all the components of being the type of generic low-brow movie audiences expected while also being insufferably pretentious. That's why it's terrible.

It's like the retard who wrote Crash (Paul Haggis?) listened to Cats in the Cradle and Old Man after watching 2001, wrote a script, and gave it to Zach Snyder to direct. Lol.

Not what I said

That's what I said based on the level of pretense in the writing, dummy. I know you're low IQ but holy shit, keep up.

you would be traveling at 10% of lightspeed or less

If that's the case then we'll never really travel anywhere outside our solar system.

Oort Cloud means you likely can't get out of the solar system.

pretense for using a common tool for character development

I think you have it the other way around, you just think it's pretense because it's employed by a load of serious ""high art"" pictures (eg Apocalypse Now), and don't see it for what it is, a mere storytelling tool, and a damn efficient one. In this movie it even goes above merely adding background/nuance to the protagist in a rather straight forward manner, it mimics his invariable calmness, his voice is soothing and collected like the character. You have this wrong association in your head that certain methods are full of pretense because they've been used before in what some would consider to be exemplary works, that's NPC-tier reasoning.

Terrible. Brad Pitt is just a bad narrator. This is one instance where his looks got him a role he's not really ready for

Bad opinion.
