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.
