For instance, he deadass skipped big launches like Sekiro , Days Gone and Metro : Exodus and probably didn't even consider doing an angry review in other smaller titles like A Plague Tale, Bloodstained and Greedfall, all because he was too busy thinking he's some king of Rober Ebert of youtube or bitching about Game of Thrones.

borderlands 3 review?

[@SeanUCF]

If anyone got anything about "wokeness" or "toxic masculinity" from this movie, then they could probably also find it from staring at the sun. There was absolutely none of that in this movie. This movie was about the sacrifice of friends and family for the mission and the solitude and psychological effects that deep space travel can have on the mind something NASA is currently studying (and it was also about daddy issues). It's honestly exhausting that people are always trying to relate movies back to political bullshit like that when it doesn't exist.

[@spiderman-kr4np]

STM naw there’s definitely some of those ideas in the movie bud

[@SeanUCF]

@@spiderman-kr4np Not even close man. If you saw toxic masculinity or any of that other political crap in this movie then you could literally find it in anything. This movie was about inclusiveness vs. closing yourself off and not succumbing to the sins of our fathers with the psychological effects of deep space travel sprinkled on top.

[@bawniey]

brad pitt said in an interview that the film touched on "toxic" masculinity. Whatever his definition of the term is but its not crazy for people to get that vibe.

[@aleksandrastockhold2131]

This was a film about searching for something that had defined your entire life, and learning it was all false. Both McBride men suffered from this, and while one made it their mission to prove they were right, the other accepted it and embraced it. That was the point. There was a toxic masculinity in this film. Both men were victims of it. But that was their story, and not the driving force behind the message.

[@copperbeckville1853]

The film was extraordinary-period. It’s especially powerful for anyone that’s had a tumultuous relationship with their father or lost their father. The visuals were beyond anything that Gravity or Interstellar had and I believe this will be a cult classic film someday (like Children of Men or The Counselor are turning out to be). It was just beautiful.

[@omar66277]

wow.. these guys didn't get it at all.. the whole message of the movie was summed up at the end in the line: "We're all we got", the message was the exact opposite of finding Jesus!. These guys were looking for more action in the movie when the beauty of it was right in front of them; a son confronting his father who abandoned him, a father leaving his family to find alien life, knowing that we're all we got, learning to appreciate what we have, to live and love; these are great themes, what more do you want?

He could have said he lied about the viability of the planet to be rescued. They would have understood and rescued him. He lost all sympathy when he tried to murder Matthew. Then there is Tommy's character who came off as a PoS who murdered his crew because they missed their families all because he wanted to meet aliens. Also, he knew the surges were a problem but he did not care. he would not abandon the mission even though it costed human lives. Fuck them both.

Watching it a second time was even better cause you notice more stuff. I think the movie is not about space but a man that shut out emotions and is slowly learning to reconnect to them.

[@Magnesius]

But he hardly does anything to reconnect his emotions.... He merely has a few thoughts while staring off into space....

[@DragNetJoe]

Maybe, but how about this. After framing his mission-focused stoic ways in a negative light, ultimately it was exactly this discipline and focus that not only saved earth and all mankind, but also recovered his father's decades of work. He ended up a hero exactly because he could focus on what needed to be done, no matter what. He didn't cry himself to sleep, he got it done.

[@Surannhealz]

Ya, but they wrapped it in some major space situations which they never explain or use the worst solutions that make no sense. For a science fiction movie it was awful. Which over shadows anything else they were trying to do.

Good message, but the execution.. very bad. Anyone reminded of carson clay’s rewind time? I’m pretty sure that’s the title, anyway, yeah it’s that bad.

[@ObliviousPenguin]

I also noted a lot of religious undertones throughout the film, starting with the tower of Babel (the tall radio tower reaching into space), to the animal research vessel (Noah's ark?) to many references by characters about God and saints (Tommy Lee Jones claiming to feel closer to God/astronauts praying to St Christopher). I think the story was about a loss of belief in god and the supernatural, which is represented by the aliens that the expedition was attempting to find.The final realization being that the non existence of god (aliens) is a valid answer in of itself and allows us to focus on appreciating what's right in front of us, rather than some grandiose wishful thinking (god/aliens). The main character and his father both felt empty and emotionless while seeking for something that was not there (God/aliens), but whereas Brad Pitt's character shifted his priorities after learning the truth and became happier as a result, his father couldn't live with that truth, and didn't care for his wife or his son (literally cutting himself away from his son). I've seen many interpretations for this film, but this was my takeaway from it.

Slow burn is movie speak for YOU GONNA BE HERE A WHILE SO STRAP IN lol. Most arthouse movies or films shown in festivals for some reason are slow burns. They're often popular with critics who often see up to 100 movies a year so things like this seem refreshing for some reason yet not that popular for the audiences who don't have the time to sit in a theater and wait for the plot to get going lol. Hence why these movies are at like 80-90% with the critics and around 50% with audiences.

[@goatsfullofboats8559]

[@metallicak5]

This reviewer’s taste in movies must be Transformers. I could describe to you about 20 different themes and lessons I got out of this movie. -Relationship between Man and God -How far are you willing to sacrifice your Earthly attachments in the pursuit of discovery or career? -Relationship between Man and Father -Love and meaningful relationships are the essence of life, that even something as crazy as a venture into space near Neptune can’t be better than loving your family or wife. -A deep study on human emotion and the suppression of those emotions. -The use of silence and white noise to amplify emotion and feeling in a film. This was a masterpiece aside from the unrealistic science sometimes

[@adamdiggle1371]

I think they got the themes, the problem was that none of them were fully explored. This film really didn't know what it wanted to say, just threw a load of stuff at the wall to see what stuck. It ended up being over saturated and ponderous at the same time.

[@WholeOrganicMilk]

Just finished watching this film in IMAX and I was blown away by it. I'm also a fan of slow burn films if they are done correctly and, in my opinion, this was done correctly.

This movie is amazing. But the reason why people hated it is that they expected it to be a sci-fi film and yeah it is but it's primary focus is to tell the story of the relationship between father and son and it does so amazingly. The narration of Brad Pitt in this film is about character development for him and his father instead of the story is original and beautifully done so. And for the people who did love it, including me, unfortunately the scientific inaccuracies lowers the love a bit but aside from that this is an amazing film; and I suggest giving this movie a second chance and watching it again with expectations differed.

i really liked the movie. i think it was one of the most interesting movies i watched in years. it had a story to tell and a real character arch. it is about a son, who is trapped in the errors his father made himself. he has to travell to the border of the known space to find his father and confront him. and he can do it only if he confronts himself too. THIS is a good movie.

[@ZeRoRefl3x]

Jooooe let Alex say a full sentence before you cut him off. Lol it happens alllll the time. The look on his face everytime you do it. 🤣🤣

[@Mechanical-Animal]

Not enough explosions and action for Joe's attention span. He keeps asking what this and that was, so why is reviewing it if he didn't understand the story and events? It's a character piece that is focused on the relationship between son and father that is the story. The larger world and events etc are just a backdrop. It's meant to be introspective and it's all about the growth of the character. Tommy lee Jones was also very good. He knew the awful things he did and how long he has been marooned. There's nothing left for him at Earth and wants to end it because he couldn't. Also why wouldn't moon pirates exist? The movie states there are different nations operating there. Also, his Dad wasn't trying to blow up Earth. He says he couldn't figure out how to stop it once it started after the mutiny. I'd say it's more of an 8/10. You can't judge a movie on what you wanted it to be, which is why these guys didn't enjoy it. They're too focused on not watching and listening and finding logic holes.

[@GodlyEddy]

LOL 8/10? Oh god dude. I couldn't wait until it was over. 4/10 for me, way too boring. And they didn't even explain the surge, and I found the pirates scene ridiculous, anyone can just start going to the moon now? That scene+the ending is the only thing I found entertaining, the rest was very boring and endless talking that goes nowhere.

[@Mechanical-Animal]

@@GodlyEddy all good man. It's not for everyone. Though for the pirates scene they explained there are different nations on the moon and piracy is commonplace. Also the surge was something to do with antimatter, but it didnt matter to me because that's not what the movie wanted you to focus on.

[@xxxxxx7469]

The message i think is that we should not only focus on striving to achieve the unachieveble, as it will cost us our humanity and the value of whats here and now. Hes father has lost all connection to humanity in a quest of endless exporationand and discovery. On this quest he has lost the ability to explore other people and find value in human emotions. His son is also lost as a product of his fathers abondonment and in his strive to become what his father was he also looses connection to humanity. Giving up his father and accepting that there is only emptyness out there he finds his humanity again and ends his solitude and dissconect. Edit 1: The point of the Norwegian space distress is to shove the rage of the main character in his face and for him to contemplate it afterward as he does. Very bad implemented tho. Edit 2: the meaning of the dad wanting to kill himself was a metaphor for letting his dad go, bouth in body and in mind. It was realy on the nose way to do it, and did not realy work. All in all i think its a 6/10 movie. Alot did not work, but it should be comended for its great visual work and music.

It's a little weird that Joe thought the stealth message was "Find Jesus" when I thought it was fairly clearly the opposite. The crazy Dad was the one who was highly religious, and his obsessive quest to find alien life seemed like it was a metaphor for finding God, or finding consciousness beyond humanity. The message that Brad Pitt's character took from all that was "we're all we've got" so we should care about life on Earth and not things like finding Jesus, God, or space aliens.

I liked it. It’s loaded with metaphors, and easy to grasp ones at that...as long as you’re not preoccupied with,”But what about MUH ALIENS?!?!” It’s well acted,and well shot. Pitt’s character literally crossing the universe to connect with his father,yet realizing in the end,you can’t force someone to do or feel what they simply don’t. Here, the most intellectual person gives up everything to continue a search that is almost impossible,and lets it blind them to the point of madness and irresponsibility. The son of that person LEARNS from his parents mistakes. He sees the wide margin of success between those who follow intelligence,and those who choose to be WISE. Wisdom is king. All the intelligence in the world can take anyone so far before madness. Instead of looking outward beyond,he looks inward and what’s surrounded him all along to find what his dad could not. Peace of mind.

well its about the SEARCH for aliens, but ok.

[@ObliviousPenguin]

I also noted a lot of religious undertones throughout the film, starting with the tower of Babel (the tall radio tower reaching into space), to the animal research vessel (Noah's ark?) to many references by characters about God and saints (Tommy Lee Jones claiming to feel closer to God/astronauts praying to St Christopher). I think the story was about a loss of belief in god and the supernatural, which is represented by the aliens that the expedition was attempting to find.The final realization being that the non existence of god (aliens) is a valid answer in of itself and allows us to focus on appreciating what's right in front of us, rather than some grandiose wishful thinking (god/aliens). The main character and his father both felt empty and emotionless while seeking for something that was not there (God/aliens), but whereas Brad Pitt's character shifted his priorities after learning the truth and became happier as a result, his father couldn't live with that truth, and didn't care for his wife or his son (literally cutting himself away from his son). I've seen many interpretations for this film, but this was my takeaway from it.

[@daveadrian492]

Am I the only one here that truly loved the film? IMO 2019's best for now!!

[@Kepe]

Well it was different. No Marvel shit here. But it was also boring, the plot was boring, nothing happened, the end. There are lots of movies that have very little stuff happening and are still great, but this was not one of them.

[@daveadrian492]

@@Kepe I dont think the movie's boring. The whole theme of the movie is about making bonds. To forge them and not to cut all ties with other people. I like Brad Pitt's journey of finding the answer of what truly matters in his life and also the message that the movie is trying to tell us. Movie's 9/10 for me... but I know a lot of people say that it's boring or they just dont understand the movie and issa alright

[@copperbeckville1853]

The film was incredible. People didn’t like it because it was too smart for them like Inception etcetera. There were no dick jokes, capes, dragons or boobs so it’s easy to lose an audience of sub-110 IQ’s...

Copper Beckville And yet ironically, this film had many idiotic action scenes. Need I point out the killer space monkeys? Or the random jump through Neptune’s ring? The “oh, let’s climb into this rocket as it’s launching for artificial drama” scene?

[@trini6404]

A bit of an unpopular opinion but, I personally liked the movie, I thought it was a movie about the journey and self reflection of the main protagonist more so than any action whatsoever. Also the conclusion of it a great way to end as it feels like a metaphor of "detachment" from a path that the protagonist was threading, when seeing the reflection of where he would end up in his own father.

[@Damon242]

Really enjoyed the first half, was mentally re-editing the second half in my head while watching it. It was okay!

[@drewlovelyhell4892]

I thought Ad Astra looked terrible in the preview. Explosions and space cliches. The mission to find a lost spaceship is a tired trope. (2010, Black Hole, Event Horizon, etc) Lunar Rover chase looks fun, but is totally ridiculous.

The "sidequest" distress signal was actually loosely connected to the main plot. The disaster on that research vessel was likely caused by the surge.

I actually really enjoyed the movie, such a shame a lot didn't maybe people we're to hyped and there expectations were way high?

[@Magnesius]

It's just we've seen all of these basic space tropes done dozens of times before and were hoping for.......more than the bare minimum? For an intricate cerebral plot interwoven with suspense, mystery, and character building..... what we got was surface level snippets of each of these. Snippets that ultimately lead nowhere and didnt invigorate any part of the imagination or emotions. The plot meandered without driving home or creating any intriguing moments.

[@albertellison4152]

This movie did NOT disappoint me. Its fantastic

[@Chris-yv7jy]

Enough of these damn movie reviews. Where in the hell is Borderlands 3 or Greedfall review.

[@CrystariumNet]

I loved the movie. I think the religious undertones were actually paralleled in the search for extraterrestrial life. They never find it and they need to cherish what they have one earth. Everyone keeps looking or praying to something else out there but nothing is going to save you. You need to look at the here and now on earth. Like when they show all those planets saying he didn't even see the amazing things before him because he kept looking for this unattainable destiny that never came. Its a good deep film imo. I also liked the realistic atmosphere of it, as an astrophysicist myself and my thesis was over exoplanet research this movie really was cool....

[@aj.5841]

The movie was a slow burner for a reason, mainly due to the character study but I feel the ending kinda paid off, even though you have to look beyond the movie's many flaws. The relationship between father and son hit a note toward the end, and the ultimate lesson to live your life, because we can let years go by pursuing aimless goals that can consume us. Sometimes, our curiosity for answers about the universe can leave us being none the wiser; well, when it comes to seeking intelligent life in space at least.

I liked most of it. I related to Brad. The terror of becoming your parent(s), the cutting yourself off emotionally to cope with feeling inadequate, the craving for human connection in low phases. Not that that's unique to me. I also LOVED the way everything gets less and less human and familiar as it went on. He was in a dark place emotionally when he neared his father, and his surroundings reflected that. Cold, dark, no summery colour. I don't know, i was totally impressed with how cold and *far from home* it all felt. I didn't see any religion. It was similar to interstellar. Recognise what's important and use that as a drive to find more. If you abandon humanity like Tommy Lee Jones did, you'll be miserable. And JOE, STOP INTERRUPTING NON JOE GUY

The "blue light" was not a K-Mart special on his ship. It was the sun. There were two callbacks here: First is to the beginning of the movie lens-flare where we clearly see it's the sun. The second is that it reminds him of his words to his dad, that we're the only thing here and need to take care of ourselves. As an aside, the light was not blue. Only the lens flare was blue. The light itself was white.

Ok, this is the first review that I'd rather Joe left to other Joe and Alex. They have clearly more to say about it than the main man. Huh.

[@rui5421]

I got the slight religious undertones. I didn’t see this as something about toxic masculinity and the promos for japan didn’t promise a space action so I was fine to experience a human drama set in space. In the end I thought the topic was powerful. A man abandons everything and everyone in a desperate attempt to find life in space, and his abandoned son goes to the end of the galaxy to confront the father he’s been searching for. Shadows of his father. Also the very real dangers and boredom of space travels hit for me. We go in with this fantastic idea of what space travel would be liked but instead we get what the reality of space travel is.

[@WholeOrganicMilk]

Not only that but the events of the movie change him from becoming his father and change him into a completely different person. You can see in the final scene how happy he is and how much he's looking forward to what's ahead with his psych evaluation compared to his psych evaluation at the very beginning. He has an awesome character arc! Also I'm glad there's at least one other person who understands this film :)

[@Peasham]

I haven't actually seen the movie, but regarding toxic masculinity, it doesn't have to be men being assholes. You don't have to beat your kids to be toxic. Not that I'm criticizing the movie for it, I'm just saying, it definitely might've been in there.

Three astronauts died in context of an asphyxiation accident. Son of hero was the only one to survive via getting to an oxygen mask quickly enough, but he managed to complete the mission that stopped the anti matter pulses that turned out to be more dangerous than we foresaw and could have damaged Earth.
