>>12083972It's not a space film, it just by chance had a space setting.
I don't know how it even got made, but I'm pretty sure the entire thing is just a vehicle for either the writer or the actor. 1st wouldn't even make sense tho, because, spoiler I guess... the plot is worthless. There's no reason to care about him and his daddy issues because he has no personality except, bowing forward for the system really good and the entire last arch is a single massive plothole. He basically killed everybody to do exactly what they were ordered to do. The recon mission also turned out to be a dud, good thing everything lead up to it btw... And the psychological evaluation gimmick was just annoying, not dystopic.
Some scenes were pretty okay and I could see what the camera and lighting team were going for, but considering all the money they dunked into this, everything less would have been a let down as well!
Here are some way more better movies with a similar'ish premise or at least shared aspects:
>Moon, an existential chamberplay with the same mood, but better
>Contact, dunno why, but it's pretty good.... edit I now know why I mention it, I think I expected AdAstra to be a mix of contact and Oblivion2013
uhm, >Event Horizon,
what I was hoping the last arch to feel like
>Interstellar, has peak sci fi drama (I cried)
>First Man, Neil Armstrong biography, it's relatively dry because becoming an Astronaut irl is probably pretty dry, but you get to see the (spoiler) moon landing
>The Martian, because similar tech level and fucking THE MARTIAN!
even the chick from Gravity was more sympathetic.
