Subscriber Pyfish+ 2,773 Posted September 17, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 17, 2019 This is a film? It's been showing on my list of things at work and I thought it was a new bloody Vauxhall Astra ad that I've got to chase up. Just watched that trailer and it looks decent.

Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,358 Posted September 17, 2019 Subscriber Share Posted September 17, 2019 Looks good and it must be with Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones in it, but any good film about space is a 10/10 for me, a must watch on my bucket list.

You can laugh @nudge, I thought it was an advertisement video too about Vauxhall Astra. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman 5,938 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Watching either tomorrow or Sunday. Looks fantastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,180 Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 It looks really good - from the trailers it sort of looks a bit like an Apocalypse Now type thing in space. And that's a cool concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadLinesman 5,938 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Just got back. Meh. Cinematography was stunning as was Brad Pitt. However, just felt the story was lacking and they were concentrating so much on the spectacle that they forgot the substance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d still watch if you get the chance. 5 of us went and we all felt the same. Again, the actual experience was great. Watched it in iSense luxury seats as well so that was a bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Gonzo 8,180 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 That's a bit of a disappointing review. I might just wait til I can watch it at my house then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 It seems from the bulk of the reviews that I have been reading that visually it's quite stunning just other aspects of it let it down.. won't really know until I have seen it for myself though but not sure I want to fork out the best part of £20-30 to find out..

Rick 2,271 Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 I mean it’s at 83% on RT and 80/100 on metacritic so I’ll not write it off just yet. different strokes and that. Remember, @DeadLinesman said his favourite tv show is the Big Bang theory so he can’t be trusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IgnisExcubitor 678 Posted December 10, 2019 Share Posted December 10, 2019 I watched it and loved it, and would even place this amongst my favourite space flicks. First and foremost I am disappointed it didn't release in India, despite stating a date and all. It was only shown in couple of festivals. This movie deserves to be seen in a theatre - preferably Imax cause it's visually stunning. The sets of Moon or Mars, or the space scenes are stunning. The acting is top notch. Brad Pitt gives one of the best performance of his career. Shame that this year it won't even be acknowledged in awards ceremonies, considering some of the other performances by other actors. I found the core plot intriguing. The message it gives is beautiful. I don't have to agree with what it says about aliens, but still it was nice. Now for the issues. And they are quite a few. The story seems a wee bit chaotic at times. There is a lack of focus. The way it touches upon religion (or spirituality) could have been done better. It puts a heavy emphasis on the science, and yet in the last ten minutes or so just chucks it all away, as it rushes to its ending. It is not pretentious, though it makes an effort to be. However, it is not. The themes are easy to understand. This is more of movie on human relationships and our civilization, against the space backdrop. A lot of people will find the message too simplistic. But overall this is a good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bluewolf 7,161 Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 Saw it this morning and to be fair it was better than I had been led to believe it would be.... not for everyone and I can see why my daughter probably didn't enjoy it that much but well worth a look, the opening scenes alone were amazing.. Toward the end you did get the sense of how lonely it would be during deep space exploration.. not the ending to it I was expecting either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber nudge+ 15,325 Posted December 26, 2019 Author Subscriber Share Posted December 26, 2019 Just watched it. Didn't like it The visuals were great, so was the world building and I liked the topics it tried to explore but other than that, I thought the movie just felt short everywhere else.
