cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema cooks up some great visuals but the rest of the film doesn't give you much to chew on.

Overview
The near future, a time when both hope and hardships drive humanity to look to the stars and beyond. While a mysterious phenomenon menaces to destroy life on planet Earth, astronaut Roy McBride undertakes a mission across the immensity of space and its many perils to uncover the truth about a lost expedition that decades before boldly faced emptiness and silence in search of the unknown.
How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A solitary journey through the void that feels as much like an inward excavation as an outward voyage. Ad Astra is meditative and haunting, prioritizing emotional isolation and existential questions over spectacle, with the vastness of space reflecting the protagonist's internal emptiness.
