Ad Astra (2019)
[IMDB; en.wikipedia]
Entertaining.
Coherent and Consistent storyline.
Smart.
Linear, straightforward, yet smart - quite an awkward combination.
Slow paced, but it doesn't drag.
The story develops nicely throughout time and seems stubborn enough to keep going and keep the viewer focused despite the slow pace.
A bit sad/pessimistic, but it's the right choice in order to fit the story.
Really good acting, soundtrack, post processing etc.
Discreet, yet complex special effects that perfectly blend in and complete the story.
For some reason it reminds me of Syriana (2005) [IMDB] - the same slow pace, the same soundtrack style/pattern, the same sadness/pessimism etc.
The cinema experience is a must.
Conclusions
Definitely worth watching. Time well spent.
