Ad Astra is an awe inspiring film. The plot is nerdy and wonderfully complicated even though the story is simple. The first half has such big promise. The second half gets a bit too slow and self important for my taste but overall it delivers on the themes and setups in a proper way.

I don't love the voiceovers but other than that I loved most of the creative decisions.
