I didn’t like Ad Astra the first time I saw it. Something clicked on the second viewing and it’s now one of my favorite Sci-fi films. The theme of the father abandoning his child, the search for the father and finding your purpose, the idea of an empty Universe enhancing the connections we have on Earth, there are many more. It’s a more of a somber poem than a traditional sci-fi.
I think this is actually true sci-fi, looking back on it older sci-fi stories and cinema have always asked what it means to be human - Solaris, Bladerunner, 2001, etc. i think it's a shame that nowadays we associate it with ONLY the spectacle of the genre
I need to rewatch it. Just saw it the one time. I don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't seen it, but I remember being pissed off at the ending, that the rest of the movie was at least somewhat believable with where future technology may be, but the ending was just straight up ridiculous. It's been a long time though, so I gotta sit through it again -- this scene and the moon buggy chase were incredible though.
Its not space. Its about the same hight Felix B. made that jump "jump from edge of space".Its the upper atmosphere. Even in low orbit , you need to be moving at speed otherwise you will fall back to earth. You are still in the planet's gravity well.
@@der.8492 im gonna shorten the plot out but its a chinese made movie (high quality not crappy) about the sun growing in size to the point that it will engulf the earth within a 100 years so the governments of the world band together and essentially turn the entire earth into a space ship by constructing a LOT of mount everest sized engines to move it out of the solar system and into proxima centauri which is the closest star
This film is great. No aliens, no evil galactic empire or time dilation are your enemy, but the functioning human systems, trapped human ideas and most of all, your own thoughts are quietly and overwhelmingly confronting you as you wanna go ahead. It’s a space era human SF story. All scenes are beautiful and convincing. Kudos to Brad Pitt and the film production crew for their articulation and bravery.
This scene was good, but lets be honest the second half of the film was boring (basically after the moon). The science completely fell apart and it was just a drag. First time I watched this film I didn't mind it, but rewatched it the other day and god it was pretty bad
@Peter Johnson he was climbing down, not up. He had a safety harness on. Did you miss him taking it off when the super structure started to disintegrate?
@@pillepolle3122 well then its fair to ask why they don't move around more efficiently than on ladders on such an enormous structure. They could have simple elevator or cable harness to pull themselves up or let themselves down like a belay line.
Something nice about this scene is how they reflected how hard it'd be for Brad's character to control his orientation when falling, as at that height there was barely any air to affect him aerodynamically. Therefore, before he got much lower there'd not be a lot of force he could manipulate to put himself into a belly down skydiving position. Very realistic.
If he were truly falling without air resistance, his speed would be accelerating at 32 feet per second squared. He would be toast when he finally hit air resistance.
@@lkytmryan No. Read comment by paulwoodford1984 above. Even the highest free falling man, diving from around 136,000 feet, reached a maximum speed of 822 MPH, which is way too slow to burn. And to double the speed, you need to quadruple the freefall altitude difference (jumping point - altitude_with_air_resistance)
i think they used Felix Baumgarner "s free fall from stratosphere ...he too got into uncontrollable spinning until he stabilized and could use his parachute
@@quinquiry As a skydiver, I always pooh-poohed the high-altitude flat-spin thing, but that was based upon ignorance. I knew nothing about Soviet AF Captain Yevgeny Andreyev's space jump in the mid 1960s (the FAI-recognized OFFICIAL freefall record [not Joe Kittinger, may he rest in peace. He made a jump that was very much higher but it was not official because he used a drogue and there were no FAI witnesses]). Watching Felix spin was nearly a "Pee, meet pants!" moment. Interesting authenticity that they included the flat spin in Ad Astra. Made it feel much more authentic, even if wuffo audiences perhaps thought it was just a "Gravity" rip-off.
Not a huge fan of the movie. But I will give it credit. Visually stunning film. The pursuit scene on the moonscape was pretty original. Beautiful movie. I’d still recommend a viewing.
I adore this film. Well done special effects resulted in amazing visuals and the unexpected horror aspects of the movie were amazingly compelling since it was kind of out of nowhere (in a good way).
Using this track from "Interstellar" was perfect for this scene. The entire soundtrack is incredible, and I love Max Richter's score for Ad Astra just as much.
@@steretsjaaj2368 It does fit so well! No Time for Caution is one of my favorite tracks from Interstellar during the intense docking scene. If you haven't seen Interstellar, I encourage you to watch it. It is a wonderful, and Hans Zimmer's music is exceptional.

sincerely, and leaving aside my opinion on the movie´s plot and script (not too good, i found it so pretentious, trying so painfully to be the next solaris by tarkowsky, and failing miserably), i don´t find it realistic at all. specifically in this scene, i can´t understand why they didn't put a little bit of brain or budget in creating a more realistic pressure suit than that orange garbage collector jumpsuit, so obviously made of light cotton, completely soft fluttering in the wind. any decent cosplayer can make a better one. the helmet looks more like a gemini era prop than something to be wearing in the future, but let's say that the film has a bit of retrofuturism vibe and let it pass. but also the moon colony interiors look like a sovie era shopping mall, and there is no different gravity there, all the people walks so normally. the lunar suit is also made of soft fluffy cotton, not pressurized at all, and the lunar rovers chase scene looks risible. in mars, they make him read the messages for his father in an anechoic chamber, wtf. that´s just silly/poor art direction, looks like someone just liked the look of that and said "hey, let's put it in a movie!" and how about sneaking into the rocket through a sewer, or taking a couple of rabid baboons to space, with fangs and all? or the astronauts shooting bullets inside a saceship? seriously? i love scifi movies, and i don't even need them to be super realistic, but al least make something believable.
@@LanaaAmor I think Brad Pitt's character got a distress call from a research space station. He goes to it and goes inside and it's all tore up. There are huge scratches in the wall. He turns a corner and there's a baboon floating in zero g gravity that attacks him. The baboon got lose from it's cell and killed everyone on board the station.
Ad Astra grows on you. Better on the second viewing, and on. Love the movie now. What's so often lost in the Sci Fi genre is the sheer immensity of space and the potential for isolation on a level humans have never had to experience before.
I haven't watched it and I'm not interested in doing so. I like Brad Pitt but I'm pretty sure I won't believe him portraying a scientist or something like this. That's not his type of role.
Expectations matter so much. The trailer promised a search-and-destroy story, a son loyal to humanity & full of conviction to execute 'the mission' who is pitted against his gone-to-the-dark-side father. We were shown dunebuggy gun battles, exploding space stations, crazy EVA space scenes, hand-to-hand combat with a little dash of intrigue. Instead, the move is highly cerebral evaluation of a man who's convictions are being massively assaulted - not only in that his hero-worship of his father may have been misplaced, but also the compounding realization that the hero-worship itself was never enough compared to a real relationship. Pitt's character's motivation is hidden - he is consistently lying/obfuscating to everyone in order to get to his real objective, a face-to-face "what the hell?" chat with Dad. It's not that it was a bad movie, it was just sold to a completely different audience than the one that would appreciate it.
@@Ricardo-cl3vs He plays an astronaught. Not a lab scientist. The whole movie there is almost 0 important science. (maybe 1 thing you could argue I guess). I don't want to ruin it incase I convince you to check it out. His character is very much in line with what you'd expect from a brad pitt character. it's great if you like his other movies.
@fhweuenh beuhhhh ... no ... both are beautiful : ad Astra and interstellar. And I don't see any issue to use a bit of creativity to associate both.. "ripped off" is a ridiculous jugement : nobody seeing this arrangement thinks that it's damaging the originals... except you.
@@francisdebriey3609 Didn't you see my comment? I think the original Ad Astra score fit the scene a lot better. Even though I enjoy the interstellar score more, I just don't see why someone felt the need to change it here.I
Even barely-trained privates learning to be paratroops can stabilize a spin, and automatic opening devices are a standard feature on all non-ripcord chutes.
hahahaha yeah, they would equip the suit with emergency spin stabilization jets, and a laptop computer, and a hamburger, and a small couch. Dude, do you have any idea what it would take to include jets in a space suit? ridiculous.
I can't imagine how that tower was built. It is impossible to build such structure due to buckling, lateral loads, oscillations and even fluttering. Fairy tale stories are great since we can build good special effects but again it is just imagination. :D
Any real space elevator-type structure would definitely need to have a far more spin-friendly design to handle the sheer forces and pressures being exerted against it, this is true. Not to mention a counter-weight.
Several methods exist I'm helping prop up such a massive tower such as active support. Isaac Arthur has some amazing videos on the feasibility of space structures like Space elevators like in this movie and Sky cranes.
The true space elevator is actually a TENSILE structure and is quite feasible (well, very high tensile strength material is needed). The center of mass is in geostationary orbit. The orbital dynamics makes the material below the center of mass want to orbit faster, providing the tension.
@@lazarus2691 There are two parts of me: The first thinks that that the space fountain is a damn cool out-of-the-box idea, and the second part is giggling because that diagram looks like a cock-n-balls reaching towards the heavens.
that movie is totally full of not realistic situations, that why it's a fiction film, And all it's charm resid on there ! Thanks for this extract ! It is a real good moment, as well as the all movie. Merry Christmas !
Wow that's actually pretty cool, since it is a stationary position on earth going up into space you CAN survive a fall like that even with just a parachute. Hell as one stunt showed in theory you could even survive it by falling into a suitably large and high enough net completely uninjured.
A good space movie. My only quirp is the ending where they come to the conclusion there is no other life out there, felt forced in order to add to the message of the film. There's 200 billion stars in the Milky Way alone, probably more and at least as many planets as that. Those are some serious odds to bet against imo. The scariest part is when you think of the distance, not if we're alone out here.
@@ThewillofFeknar Yeah it's frightening to think light year speeds might as well be turtle speed when facing up against the vastness of space. Least there's is something unknown to discover still since the universe is expanding faster than light so there might be an answer out there. As for Humanity, who knows haha...maybe we discover a Mass Relay out there ;)
it was a Powerful sci-fi and a true slap for how vast and yet how melancholic the universe is... and here they just reached till Neptune!! Really managed to tell us how long it takes just to reach Moon, with all the technology they have, let alone second last planet in the Solar System The moment he left earth... We saw Grey We saw red We saw yellow We saw blue We saw black We saw white but it was only earth.... where we saw Green !! A true colour of LIFE
fr I watched it at midnight and felt the loneliest I have ever been and always wanted to be. Especially when he was heading toward Saturn. Loved every minute of the movie.
Why does this clip has music from Interstellar behind it??? I haven't seen this movie, but surley they didn't use the same sound track as Interstellar?
Because the script. The concepts and ideas they were working with were so so so cool and they were wasted on this film. That's what any hardcore sci/fi fan hates most. Good ideas that are executed poorly.
It’s because the movie centers on a very unpopular but most likely true idea of the rare earth philosophy. We are unique, and most people don’t like to think we are alone in the Milky Way.
yes it can be built using active support systems (using the force generated by a flow of ions to keep the structure standing). The issac arthur space towers episode has more info on how to build them.
When you are watching a movie about deep space travel I don’t think you should get caught up on whether a giant antenna could exist or not. With the way our world is evolving and spending more on defensive budgets we will probably never see this happen to mankind. That or we’ve already doomed ourselves with space debris.
Obviously the materials are strong enough to support it, we're not that far away with current technology. But sure, get mad about it instead of suspending your disbelief.
I hear it allot, I don’t understand why people don’t like this movie. It’s because it’s based on the rare earth hypothesis. Most people don’t like the idea we are alone in this galaxy, most likely though, we are.
It's honestly badly advertised. In the trailer, it looks like a science fiction action film when it's actually more of a retrospect of human emotions and how the MC is literally running away from his problem on earth to another planet where it's not as good as he expected. And the plot maybe a bit of a stretch, but good visual and sound designs with good cinematography. The acting is on point. I'd give it a 6.5 or 7. I enjoyed the feelings it gave me,but that doesn't mean it's a good movie to everyone. And it's totally okay.
I wouldn't say that we are alone in the sense that we're the only life out here. The galaxy is massive, so the chances for us to be the only life here are very low. However, intelligent life is either very rare, or we are indeed the only intelligent life out here. Detecting intelligent life would be much easier than regular life, but our technology to detect even regular life is still in its infancy.
@@VaygrX Spot on, it took a massive amount of chance extinction level events for us to be here. If one of those things didn’t happen, the T-Rex would still be roaming this earth.
I disagree with you. Logically and numerically, it is impossible for humans to be the only life in the entire universe. We merely are not advanced enough to properly speculate or discover other viable life out there. We will get there.
That's not a space elevator, just a very, very tall tower. A space elevator would have to be 22,236 miles long and attached to a massive orbital station. This thing is only about 25 miles in height. (Some "only"!)
Well, it's emotionally well done for me, but the plot is... Not very tight in my opinion. It has interesting concepts, but they don't connect well with one another. However, I really liked how lonely it made me feel. So... Up to you, man.
What a strange movie this is. Its whole tone is kind of odd and flat - but worse than that, it seems to be going out of its way to portray the laws of physics one moment and then completely ignoring them the next. I see there's a fair bit of love for it in this comments section, so maybe I should give it another go.
Ridiculous premise: The have parachutes, so they've anticipated this. They would have planned for the thinness of the air and included a helmet and boot jet system for countering such spin.
In his remarkably prescient novel "Fountains of Paradise" (still well worth reading, I promise) Arthur C Clarke made it clear that experienced astronauts might not be the best idea on a space elevator. They'd expect freefall - and get gravity.
This scene is awesome...too bad the rest of the movie is incredibly nonsensical and the plot line seems like someone tossed a sci fi book in a blender and decided to go with whatever came out of the resulting smoothie
I didn’t like Ad Astra the first time I saw it. Something clicked on the second viewing and it’s now one of my favorite Sci-fi films. The theme of the father abandoning his child, the search for the father and finding your purpose, the idea of an empty Universe enhancing the connections we have on Earth, there are many more.

@@Ricardo-cl3vs He plays an astronaught. Not a lab scientist. The whole movie there is almost 0 important science. (maybe 1 thing you could argue I guess). I don't want to ruin it incase I convince you to check it out.
His character is very much in line with what you'd expect from a brad pitt character. it's great if you like his other movies.
Quite good but also very underrated movie.
Awesome, it looks so realistic how he gets wind after the freefall in the vacuum. I definitely have to do that before I die!!! :)
Beautiful arrangement, thank you ! I love both the scene and the music
The original score was perfect.
@fhweuenh beuhhhh ... no ... both are beautiful : ad Astra and interstellar. And I don't see any issue to use a bit of creativity to associate both.. "ripped off" is a ridiculous jugement : nobody seeing this arrangement thinks that it's damaging the originals... except you.
@@francisdebriey3609 Didn't you see my comment? I think the original Ad Astra score fit the scene a lot better. Even though I enjoy the interstellar score more, I just don't see why someone felt the need to change it here.I
The music is a score from Interstellar.
@fhweuenh right?
This film will get greater with every decade, it's sublime cinema.
I absolutely love the music for this scene. Just like the emergency docking scene in Interstellar....just absolutely brilliant composing!
Ok. Its the same music taken here from Interstellar.
You would think the suits would have:
1) Emergency spin stabilization jets.
2) Automatic chute opening
You think we're not that cheap?
Even barely-trained privates learning to be paratroops can stabilize a spin, and automatic opening devices are a standard feature on all non-ripcord chutes.
@@jamesharding3459 I'm pretty sure stabilizing from extremely high altitude like that is much closer to impossible.
@@tannerhawes6890 The converse is also true, it would equally hard to induce or accelerate a spin.
hahahaha yeah, they would equip the suit with emergency spin stabilization jets, and a laptop computer, and a hamburger, and a small couch. Dude, do you have any idea what it would take to include jets in a space suit? ridiculous.
I can't imagine how that tower was built. It is impossible to build such structure due to buckling, lateral loads, oscillations and even fluttering. Fairy tale stories are great since we can build good special effects but again it is just imagination. :D
It could theoretically be done using a space fountain: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_fountain
Any real space elevator-type structure would definitely need to have a far more spin-friendly design to handle the sheer forces and pressures being exerted against it, this is true. Not to mention a counter-weight.
Several methods exist I'm helping prop up such a massive tower such as active support. Isaac Arthur has some amazing videos on the feasibility of space structures like Space elevators like in this movie and Sky cranes.
The true space elevator is actually a TENSILE structure and is quite feasible (well, very high tensile strength material is needed). The center of mass is in geostationary orbit. The orbital dynamics makes the material below the center of mass want to orbit faster, providing the tension.
@@lazarus2691 There are two parts of me: The first thinks that that the space fountain is a damn cool out-of-the-box idea, and the second part is giggling because that diagram looks like a cock-n-balls reaching towards the heavens.
Great design. Love the compact powerhouse look.
I recently watched this movie. That opening scene was extremely impressive, but unfortunately, was pretty much the high point of the movie.
Agreed. Very good start then it flopped. Very disappointing.
Rover chase wasn't too bad. Nor was the EVA sequence toward the end
That CGI shot at 3:01 is insane. Probably my favorite part of the movie.
that movie is totally full of not realistic situations, that why it's a fiction film, And all it's charm resid on there ! Thanks for this extract ! It is a real good moment, as well as the all movie. Merry Christmas !
Hhjjkk y
Wow that's actually pretty cool, since it is a stationary position on earth going up into space you CAN survive a fall like that even with just a parachute. Hell as one stunt showed in theory you could even survive it by falling into a suitably large and high enough net completely uninjured.
A good space movie. My only quirp is the ending where they come to the conclusion there is no other life out there, felt forced in order to add to the message of the film. There's 200 billion stars in the Milky Way alone, probably more and at least as many planets as that. Those are some serious odds to bet against imo. The scariest part is when you think of the distance, not if we're alone out here.
@@ThewillofFeknar Yeah it's frightening to think light year speeds might as well be turtle speed when facing up against the vastness of space. Least there's is something unknown to discover still since the universe is expanding faster than light so there might be an answer out there. As for Humanity, who knows haha...maybe we discover a Mass Relay out there ;)
it was a Powerful sci-fi and a true slap for how vast and yet how melancholic the universe is...
and here they just reached till Neptune!!
Really managed to tell us how long it takes just to reach Moon, with all the technology they have, let alone second last planet in the Solar System
The moment he left earth...
We saw Grey
We saw red
We saw yellow
We saw blue
We saw black
We saw white
but it was only earth.... where we saw Green !! A true colour of LIFE
Absolutely awesome, brilliant idea
I love the realistic take on future technology and space exploration. And the sense of absolute isolation and remoteness of space travel.
This music needs to be edited to the first performance scene for Dirk Diggler in Boogie Nights.
A stunning masterpiece in vintage animation! You have captured the antidiluvian world to magnifi ent perfe tion!
This movie made me feel alone. Loved it
Yeah, it is an incredibly lonesome experience. Especially when he is in the company of others.
fr I watched it at midnight and felt the loneliest I have ever been and always wanted to be. Especially when he was heading toward Saturn. Loved every minute of the movie.
Even in the most trying of times….
there is only thing left to do.
Keep your composure.
👍
Why does this clip has music from Interstellar behind it??? I haven't seen this movie, but surley they didn't use the same sound track as Interstellar?
No, it's an edit.
One of my favorite scenes in the movie it's very intense, much better movies than people give it credit for
Best bit of whole movie
very nice combination
Underrated movie - worth watching several times
I remember watching UFO when I was a kid. It came on a 10:30 on Satuday nights. Loved the show. And then Space 1999.
Epic editing!! That music fit perfectly!!
one of those movies, that sucks if you go in with the wrong expectations but is awesome once you realise what it is actually about.
Is it just me or is this the same music/score from the interstellar scene where Cooper has to spin to reconnect with the Endurance?
yes - I believe it's a fan edit
You are changing the game and I’m glad to be a witness
Perfect music match. Well done!
Ohh man, Now I have to watch the movie🙂
Only saw this movie once. I need to watch it again to try and understand it better
it's worth it. the first viewing it's a little hard to catch everything as the film is sort of dreamlike. It's wonderful!
Very good movie, I can't understand people who hate it
Great job, I love it
I see sky diving videos like this all the time
Nice!
Epic fall. It sounds like Interstellar soundtrack
Oh shit; that was amazing!!
This edit is perfect!
The astronaut looks perfectly like Dr. Mann
I love the interstellar music with this
I absolutely don't get why this movie is so unpopular
People only like love and sex
The story sucks, that’s why. 😅
Because the script. The concepts and ideas they were working with were so so so cool and they were wasted on this film. That's what any hardcore sci/fi fan hates most. Good ideas that are executed poorly.
It’s because the movie centers on a very unpopular but most likely true idea of the rare earth philosophy. We are unique, and most people don’t like to think we are alone in the Milky Way.
Lmao, "don't get why?"...are you serious??
Kudos to the space antennae staff having parachutes. that was a very intelligent design decision
That looks fun. Of course Brad Pitt's fall. Not the other astronauts.
I think you need to rewatch the clip if you think none of the other astronauts fell.
Many fell, did you even watched the movie?
This is great. Yes, this had to be done.
Guys funny question is it impossible can this be built in future i want your opinion
yes it can be built using active support systems (using the force generated by a flow of ions to keep the structure standing). The issac arthur space towers episode has more info on how to build them.
When you are watching a movie about deep space travel I don’t think you should get caught up on whether a giant antenna could exist or not. With the way our world is evolving and spending more on defensive budgets we will probably never see this happen to mankind. That or we’ve already doomed ourselves with space debris.
@@vrdaddy2667 just burn the space debris in the back
According to NASA, we have the technology to build one.
It would just cost a few hundred trillion dollars.
Why is that dude so calm?
Falling from space: "command, I'm in a free fall"
Getting shot at by space pirates: "command..."
That was the biggest thing about his character...super calm.
He falls toward Earth, but the Station doesn't from its ridiculous weight. Excellent Physics from Hollywood 👍
Obviously the materials are strong enough to support it, we're not that far away with current technology. But sure, get mad about it instead of suspending your disbelief.
@@barneyrubble4293 Sorry, no amount of technology is going to allow for a space elevator - antenna. We don't live in a fantasy, a.k.a movie.
@@socksincrocks4421 You're boring, no imagination. People said you couldn't fly either.
yep, was right away thinking the same thing
It is a geotensile structure. Not a tower.
As i wstched it in cinema the first time, i fell asleep.
It was a friday evening after a hard working week.
But i will watch it again soon.
I hear it allot, I don’t understand why people don’t like this movie. It’s because it’s based on the rare earth hypothesis. Most people don’t like the idea we are alone in this galaxy, most likely though, we are.
It's honestly badly advertised. In the trailer, it looks like a science fiction action film when it's actually more of a retrospect of human emotions and how the MC is literally running away from his problem on earth to another planet where it's not as good as he expected. And the plot maybe a bit of a stretch, but good visual and sound designs with good cinematography. The acting is on point. I'd give it a 6.5 or 7. I enjoyed the feelings it gave me,but that doesn't mean it's a good movie to everyone. And it's totally okay.
@@summerlarvae Yeh, I liked it to. Although I am a believer in the rare earth hypothesis so it hits home for me.
I wouldn't say that we are alone in the sense that we're the only life out here. The galaxy is massive, so the chances for us to be the only life here are very low.
However, intelligent life is either very rare, or we are indeed the only intelligent life out here. Detecting intelligent life would be much easier than regular life, but our technology to detect even regular life is still in its infancy.
@@VaygrX Spot on, it took a massive amount of chance extinction level events for us to be here. If one of those things didn’t happen, the T-Rex would still be roaming this earth.
I disagree with you. Logically and numerically, it is impossible for humans to be the only life in the entire universe. We merely are not advanced enough to properly speculate or discover other viable life out there. We will get there.
Nicely done!
I love the blended in Song of Interstellar to ad astra
Great movie.
As a fan of Elite Dangerous (in VR) and The Expanse I watched it multiple times.
I usually don't fall asleep in movies. But when I do, It's to Ad Astra.
I’d be willing to bet the Avengers movies are you’re favorite.
@@skinfluithero4885 Dam man don't insult me like that. I'm more of a DC guy. If I had to pick a marvel movie, it would have to be Logan.
DC, Marvel, what’s the difference ?
@@Will-re8yx Zack Snyder is the difference.
Hey, each to his own!
He was wearing a parachute?
That's hilarious!
Felix Baumgartner did it for real.
Fuckin nuts right? And an energy drink company funded it hahaha
Best space travel movie I've seen so far
1:50: Archer: Jump or die as a meteor, Roy!
If space elevators become real, then we are going to have a dire situation.
Truly appreciate the ramifications of this!
That's not a space elevator, just a very, very tall tower. A space elevator would have to be 22,236 miles long and attached to a massive orbital station. This thing is only about 25 miles in height. (Some "only"!)
this is awesome summerlover, I remember seeing commercials for Ad Astra and never got around to actually seeing it, recommend?
Yes
Well, it's emotionally well done for me, but the plot is... Not very tight in my opinion. It has interesting concepts, but they don't connect well with one another. However, I really liked how lonely it made me feel. So... Up to you, man.
Awesome 🤙
Yevgeni, Pyotr, Nick, Joe, Felix & Alan in one scene
Someone I know told me, she didn't like this movie but really enjoyed the Avengers. Of course, watched this one instead and I was pretty impressed.
What a strange movie this is. Its whole tone is kind of odd and flat - but worse than that, it seems to be going out of its way to portray the laws of physics one moment and then completely ignoring them the next.
I see there's a fair bit of love for it in this comments section, so maybe I should give it another go.
Ridiculous premise: The have parachutes, so they've anticipated this. They would have planned for the thinness of the air and included a helmet and boot jet system for countering such spin.
How do they breathe??? Don't see any form of breathing apparatus.....
I dont know warhammer, dont k ow factions, dont k ow weaponry or abilities, dont know good from evil. But gawd damn this story is freakin awesome
Я чуть с дивана не упал....голова закружилась
zukA blyd....
😂😂😂
Awwghhh that was heavy!!!
Ad Astra doesn't seem so bad once you realize it is a remake of Apocalypse Now.
Comparing it to the original does it no favours
I love this movie. I'm not a fan of hollywood. But this movie was really good.
The orginal ost was superb. Don't spoil it with your edit brother
Okay brother 🤓
Sure, but there's no music in this specific scene. the editor just added the music.
@@reclaimerofmychair that's why some scenes must not need music. It's not something fantastic all the time. It's not a soap opera afterall
Wow, that was a thrilling scene.
what i want to know was if any of the other people that fell made it
you can see them running toward him
@@MisterBoy191 isen't that just ground team medics? They dont have the big orange suits on
In his remarkably prescient novel "Fountains of Paradise" (still well worth reading, I promise) Arthur C Clarke made it clear that experienced astronauts might not be the best idea on a space elevator. They'd expect freefall - and get gravity.
This scene is awesome...too bad the rest of the movie is incredibly nonsensical and the plot line seems like someone tossed a sci fi book in a blender and decided to go with whatever came out of the resulting smoothie
So wonderful, make more album like this. Don't mind Because that is focus me to strong to hold the thing's, sometimes a planet core too.
