COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Wow! submitted by yufamily on June 16, 2020, 3:51pm Brad Pitt is great in this picture. He struggles to be a better person despite not having his father's guidance...

Ponderous Sci Fi submitted by Meginator on August 5, 2020, 4:34pm This is a ponderous science fiction film that is notable more for its beautiful, carefully composed visuals and outstanding sound editing than for its storyline. Brad Pitt delivers a fine, nuanced performance as an astronaut who finds himself assigned to locate his father’s long-lost mission to the Outer Solar System. The plot is mostly perfunctory, with a few developments that don’t add much to the story, but the character development is strong enough to maintain the viewer’s interest. I’m really glad I took the time to watch this, although I’m not sure I would call it a great film; it made me think, though, and if it had properly grappled with some of the thematic elements it hints at it likely would have been Best Picture material. Alas.
