Didn’t know the cast was as stacked as it was. Maybe the hottest I’ve ever seen Blanchett, maybe the hottest I’ve ever seen Fassbender. Fun as hell, score’s real good, a super tight and brisk picture that gets you roped in reeeal quick

Blackhat 2015
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
Not sure how to compare this to my original viewing of this film, since this time I watched the Director’s Cut (Arrow’s release late last year; weirdly the DX is only 1080p while the original & international cut is the 4K remaster?).

Ad Astra 2019
Christened the 4K player with this today. Feeling blessed beyond the stars. Ad Astra’s an all-timer for me. Outrageously beautiful, phenomenal score, brillllliant performance from Pitt.

This is a film that seeps into you as the loneliness seeps into McBride. Masterful.
