10. Ad Astra


10. Ad Astra
The new film from James Gray (Z The Lost City) is a mixture between Apocalypse Now and 2001: Space Odyssey that exchanges the father figure for that of God to confront the human being with the vast uncertainty of outer space.

Brad Pitt is one of the few true movie stars left in Hollywood and this film certainly proves that, the camera loves him. He does a great job as well. This film is an impressive space odyssey that curiously fails when it focuses on the trauma of its protagonist.


Pitt plays "Ad Astra" to Roy, an astronaut who receives a mission of the most particular: locate his father in space, who has been missing for several decades but who suspects that he is behind a threat that could end up destroying the Earth. This film, in classic forms and grandiloquent messages, is a science fiction prodigy, with some memorable sequences that we will be remembering for a long time.
