Ad Astra Filmmakers Break Down the Lunar Scenes | Vanity Fair
This movie will be one of those movies people really start to love years later.
nah, the movie has no sense no point and no Script ))
@@serzhan222 It makes sense. Sometimes you just gotta let go of the thing you most desire.
You might be right on this. Moviegoers had misconceived notions of this one not least because of the marketing of it. Now that we know what it is, those that are drawn to it will appreciate it.
As it happened to other movies by James Gray
Nah.it s a bad movie
Criminally underrated film
"underappreciated" is more accurate I think
Santiago Meza It really isn’t. Have you seen the ratings it got?
Undervalued by general audiences for sure.
Indeed...
@Theo Sherman I pity those who find a film _"boring"_ just because they were expecting Star Wars.
*Love* the modelled-after-LAX welcome sign. "Some jokes are just for us."
😂🤣😂
James Gray's impersonations should be it's own RUclips show.
"impressions" is more accurate I think.
@@dkazmer2 purely out of curiosity, what exactly is the difference? I've always used them interchangeably, is that incorrect?
@@cleverusername9369 impressions are surface level mimicry, while impersonations involve a deeper investigation into the given subject - not necessarily relying on the former.
I would watch that 💯😁 He totally nailed Pitt: Jeff Spicoli merged with Gary Cooper, with the look of Robert Redford 🤣
Absolute killer scene. I was grinning like a madman when I saw this scene, totally unexpected for me to see a action sequence on the moon. Especially one that tried to be so faithful to reality. I applaud the effort put into making things feasible
"I know, Dad."
Hoyte Van Hoytema, cinematographer of Ad Astra, should have been given his due credit in this scene breakdown. DOP of this movie is breathtakingly beautiful. The color grading that were kept for Moon and then Mars were exceptional choice.. I can watch it numerous times just to study the visuals!
When the first trailer came out I thought to myself Brad Pitt as an astronaut would be a bad choice (or gamble you might say) since the audience always seen him as a stereotyped character. Oh boy, when I watched the movie I was really impressed by his acting!
Also, you have to give credit to the story. It is not a space story, it is a psychological journey that took place in space. Meaning space also became a character, in order to achieve that, amount of detail you need to add is important, otherwise it would be either overkill or unbelievably fake. Shout out to props guy. Great movie for this year.
Absolutely fell in the love with the movie . It had lotta honest emotions..no matter you travel the universe you can't find love there ,its there right next to u .
Beautiful movie .
I loved that you dint take the aliens route ..I was kinda sick of tht concept . Brad Pitt has never been THIS awesome . The satellite falling scene was epic . There were so many thrilling elements throughout the movie . Just loved it .
Agreed _Ad Astra_ is great and very underrated. But satellite falling...do you mean in the beginning ?
Also, if you’re a PItt fan, you DEF need to see Tarantino’s _Once Upon a Time in Hollywood_ if you haven’t already. Everyone in the film is excellent, but Pitt and DiCaprio are absolutely outstanding. I never enjoyed a “buddy” movie so much, even though that’s not the point of it, and it’s not billed as such.
Wholeheartedly agree 💯
While i disliked the story and how i wished it got me more emotionally invested. The design and visuals simply cannot be denied, it's a feast for the eyes and the surprising action scenes are some of the best in the genre.
Why did you dislike the story though? It's basically a dad and a son tale at its core. And the whole theme of the movie is that humans (represented in Tommy Lee Jones character) want to explore the stars but they never see what they have in front of their eyes.
I guess a lot of people didn't like it because they expected something different... The photography is ridiculous
As in worthy of ridicule?
@@dkazmer2 in a positive way
Agreed, this is a thinking person’s film. I saw it as _Apocalypse Now_ meets _The Black Hole_ , with some key elements and themes of _2001: A Space Odyssey_ and _Gravity_ added to the mix.
I bet it wasn’t easy to get this green-lighted: It’s atypical of current Hollywood fare, seeing that it’s neither an action movie nor a comedy, Rom-Com or “buddy” flick, not animated, and certainly not a tent-pole, huge-budget Disney franchise epic (e.g., MCU or Star Wars).
@@Sharky165 just saw it today and you are correct. It's next in line after 2001, contact, gravity, interstellar, etc. Sure it's a bit anti climactic being a relatively simple plot and some could complain about the noir/dreary tone....but obviously their main focus was a VISUAL experience in a HUGE and bureaucratic solar system which man, i felt really overdelivered. Forgiving that the movie is driven by "Brad does this next and it predictably goes wrong"... then you get a very exciting and detail oriented ride. obviously a person can nit pick physics but as a movie it was a great experience. It's not a complex sci fi story, its a well done ride through the vastness of our solar system.
My favorite film of this year. Incredible. I wish I could see them do this for the whole movie :(
Wholeheartedly agree 💯
Oh how I love this movie
Easily one my top 3 favorite movies of the year. Every single scene was so deeply pleasant to the eye I just can’t explain. It was a cinematic experience. This movie definitely deserves way more recognition. Amazing and beautiful job guys!
This video makes the movie look much more interesting than any of the trailers did. You should re-release this sequence as a trailer!
"I survived. I should _feel something_ "
Not if everyone else died...
I'd just like to know one thing please...? How does a person (even though they are wearing a full protective astronaut/space wear gear) just walk into a engine blast area/pit and then casually open a door on the outside of a Saturn V sized rocket and walk in and join the crew. And all of this took place literally seconds before the rocket blasted off???
Awesome directing skills Brad Pitt is the greatest
Matthew M. was superior in interstellar
@@hardcorasapotinazaret1959 shouldnt be compared. Different movies. You uglyyyyyy for that
Breathtaking to look at. Relatable, emotional substance to go with it. An almost perfect modern day Sci-Fi film.
“We’re all we’ve got”
8:58 Chris Hadfield hated those rovers. 😂 Those were the tech the Apollo mission had at the time.
This movie was great. It will definitely age well
You know what famously ages well in science fiction films? Brand logos.
I like the take of the movie about how techno capital is going to be the main engine in space colonization, and the same geopolitical games on earth are in place.
This film communicating so many brilliant ideas in such an artful way; unfortunately it seems most audiences couldn't pick up on them? I'm not really sure why the consensus was that this was just an average film.
These ideas may be "brilliant" but the every movie nowadays have "brilliant ideas" floating around each shot.
saw this movie on Saturday for my birthday and it was amazing
I was so wrong to stereotype James Gray would not be funny based on the movies he directed. His costume desginer impression kills me 🤣
Lmao i also thought he would be so dead serious about his movies
MOVIE OF THE YEAR.
I prefer Once Upon
@@wisco9er536 AD ASTRA is a movie that most audiences can understand and enjoy without knowing too much about Hollywood's history. OUATIH is a movie that is excellent as it is but people can get confused about what's the movie about in the end.
@@DerezzedMan right... audiences... last time I checked, people thought Ad Astra was trash.
What's about the first scene of the movie space tower that part was my fav one.
James Gray looks like budget Adam Savage.
You're so wrong for making me see that 😂
OH YES!
The lunar scene is most realistic of its kind!
Underrated gem. Pitt should have won Oscar for this one.
So, you did the Space Odyssey thing, where you made space travel to the moon banal? And had it be multinational?
if there's one thing for sure that we're going to figure out how to do in the near future, it's firing guns in space.
Well guns shoot just fine in space, the problem is you floating the opposite direction when you fire them.
@@altaccout Portable railguns will address that problem (no recoil). Or instead of a gun, just have a miniature missile launcher. With no air resistance, it's a lot easier to make it feasible.
the film is too amazing and making me feel so in despair...
While the visuals and the concept of this movie is very interesting, I don't get emotional attached to the movie, I think it's the biggest problem of Ad Astra.
it's brilliant
Film is Beyond Underrated
Burger Stud has pretty good fries. The burgers r ok too.
It's like Kevin Thompson made the film, and James Gray just stamped, and just do it.
Filmmakers have forgotten that gravity on the moon is 1/6 Earth's gravity.
Those companies really got their money's worth in their ad buys
wonder if there was a "must defend our ad placement as fundamental to world building in production interviews" clause...
If in doubt, it’s lunar photography
ive only just discovered the existence of this movie and it came out a month ago? guessing they didnt put much into advertisment?
Ad astra is one of the best movies of all time
some amazing visuals- the quirky ending ruins the integrity
They’re not talking about Neptune ?!
It's where the protagonist goes
I think you shouldn't as well.. it's something they kept out of the trailers just to make the story a bit of a surprise for the ones who haven't watched it yet
The father and Brad pitt character did show resemblance to the all father and jesus christ at some point .. subtle but nice
Is that Steve o's brother
So many technical fails and this guy claims he was trying to make it realistic! Incomprehensible.
This movie rivals 2001: a space odyssey, which is something no other movie has ever done
Daniel Thorrens I Agree!!!
That one scene feels so much out of place in this movie. I can see beyond it, but I'd do without.
You couldn't have used a more contrasting color than BLUE.... when most of shots are blue/greenish toned... jfc.
I just hate how they got all of the orbital mechanics wrong, it should be a rule that if your gonna make a space movie that's meant to be realistic that you need to go and play KSP
BASEDmovie
Was hoping we would have improved our habits on a new planet. Maybe in real life (LOL).
Apocalypse Now
IN SPACE
Alexander Fuhrer ABSOLUTELY, that’s the very first one I thought of, along with Disney’s very underrated _The Black Hole_ - with the best elements of _Gravity_ and _2001: A Space Odyssey_ added in !!
@@Sharky165 yes! And so glad more people have seen the Black Hole, it is so unique and incredible. That ending! And of course, 2001 and gravity are amazing. I think we have similar taste in film :)
A warning, don't base your expectations of this movie on this scene or the trailer. It's not like that.
If you fire a gun in the moon the bullet will go arround it come back and kill you 😂😂😂
BP
The moon pirates and the space monkeys ruined this movie experience

these 2 dudes could take a nuclear explosion and make it boring. I'm sure all of this is fascinating but these guys just didn't know how to sell any of it.
The movie is doo doo
Exige Nene marvel is do do
i did not enjoy this movie
Looks great, too bad they couldn't afford to hire a screenwriter
as a space nut! i was very disapointed with this film.
JDM Cesar seeing as how they tried a lot more than most films, are there any space films that haven’t disappointed you then?
They pat themselves on the back for the technical accuracy of the film. Well....why is there absolutely no hint that they are in 1/6 Earth's gravity when they are inside, yet it's obvious when they are on the rovers?
And what is this dust Sutherland is reaching up to touch while on the rover? The dust shouldn't have been there as there is no atmosphere to keep it aloft.
There are so many ridiculous technical inaccuracies in the film I found it silly and couldn't enjoy it(eg. Pitt sneaks on the ship on Mars while it's taking off and isn't pinned to the back wall. They even have a zero gravity battle inside the ship while it continues to accelerate lol).
Was slow as well and not as deep as I think some like to make it. I think it's they type of film that ppl can digest and be a bit introspective about which makes them feel that it is complicated than it really is and makes the average person feel good about themselves for "figuring it out".
6/10 at best. You've been fooled.
The movie is incredibly fast-paced lol
@@filmtoppingssaid no one ever. You're joking right?
You're forgetting the part where they just stopped half way to mars, like pulling over on a highway 😂
That really irritated me. They are pretending to be technically accurate but lack even the most basic scientific knowledge. The guy literally says "The station is a disc because of Moon's gravity". Like... so? Is he implying that simply making a station circular will magically counteract lowG?
this movie sucked
🙄🙄🙄
These two, so it's your fault then.
The movie was boring .. but it was beautiful
Boring only to the dimwitted
Daniel Kazmer or to people who thought it was boring . My brain capacity has nothing to do with a film that presented itself like a thriller but ended up being a long think piece about the life of an astronaut and his daddy issues
Yeah right go watch an other Marvel movie
If you find "long think pieces" boring, then your "brain capacity" is indeed at issue.
@@dkazmer2 People are allowed to have opinions you disagree with. Not everyone enjoys slow movies, deal with it.
I fell asleep at the cinema . For real
Shame on you
Moron
Terrible dumb movie that defies the laws of physics and space
i hate this movie so much, boring story on "space"
You were expecting Star Wars? Get outta here lmfao
This movie sucked
Actors were great. Movie sucked big time!
I pity you
@@dkazmer2 Why is that?
@@justinem.brydia3677 for being unable to experience something deeper, more cerebral than, say, Star Wars
@@dkazmer2 I pity him as well but if you read some Legends Novels in Star Wars, they get pretty deep and philosophical...
Worst ever SJW movie made. It triggered me alot 😔. You'll should be ashamed of this propaganda film
Little bitches are always triggered in those times.
Lmao crybaby
