Ad Astra

This is one I'll have to see in the theater.

Good trailers on You Tube.

This is a good review, although this often portends 'problems' for an S-F movie:

" A meditative, philosophical and deliberately quiet work in all senses of literal and figurative volume, "

Also, the third picture down shows a scene where the 'physics' of the situation is shockingly wrong. It has already drawn massive ridicule  just from the trailer and it's hard to believe that anyone in the production would have let that slip by.  They obviously had no technical advisor, or if they did he was asleep when editing that scene.

But I will see it next Tuesday and can only hope that something not shown in the trailer can redeem what we see in that scene.

The moon buggy sequence in the trailers is impressive, and how they did it is innovative.

However....this is bogus:

"But the director admitted that you have to cheat a little with physics. “First of all, on Neptune, the sun basically looks like a large, bright star,”

No, what it looks like from the closer-in Jupiter's orbit is shown accurately in an ep of S3 in The Expanse.

Okay, we can calm down. What looked like an orbiting structure in the trailers, leading to the perceived tech errors, is actually a very, very tall structure extending up from the ground to heights unachievable with presently known materials. Anyway, if someone did fall off it at the heights shown (they have to wear space suits to survive) they would plummet to the ground as shown since gravity  would still be at nearly surface levels.

Although we don't know the exact height of the structure in the movie, it is unlikely to be at the altitude of the space station and even if it were, the force of gravity would still be strong enough to cause them to fall rapidly, as shown.

It is a popular misconception that zero gravity on the space station is caused by an actual lack of gravity rather than the constant falling, which gives the feeling of zero G.

After hearing some personal reviews from friends I'm not so sure this is still on my must see list. They claim it is slow and too 'introspective'.
