Why We Recommend It
Why It's Ranked
Ad Astra appears in 1 Nutevio collection. Here is the argument behind each placement.
Ranked #5 because ad Astra shares some of Interstellar's strongest ingredients—deep-space travel, a fractured family relationship, isolation and the search for something beyond ourselves—but rearranges them into a much colder movie.
Astronaut Roy McBride travels toward the outer reaches of the solar system after mysterious power surges threaten Earth. The mission may also answer a question that has followed him for most of his life: what happened to his father, who disappeared years earlier while searching for intelligent life?
Ad Astra looks like a space adventure, but it's really an unusually quiet story about loneliness, fathers and sons, and what happens when ambition becomes more important than the people waiting at home.
