The Observer (UK)Mark KermodeSep 26, 2019
The result is an A-list B-movie that juggles moments of breath-taking visual splendour with much on-the-nose speechifying about sins of the fathers and eternal isolation, spiced up with some action-packed silliness that entirely undercuts its more po-faced pretensions. Read full review

Movie NationRoger MooreSep 13, 2019
Ad Astra (Latin for “To the Stars”) has dazzling eye candy and reasonable extrapolations of what near future space colonization might look like...But like too many imitation “Space Odysseys,” it flunks that most basic test applied to science fiction of this nature. It doesn’t make us care what happens, and I, for one, don’t care to see it again. Read full review

Scenes come and go with a weightlessness that has nothing to do with zero gravity. Read full review
