) is by far the most incredible man in a spacesuit. McBride is renowned soon, when space travel is more common, as someone whose BPM never goes beyond 80, even while he's plunging to earth, as he does in an opening scene. A power surge devastates the globe, killing countless people, and is the cause of that celestial plummet from a tower that rises from the earth into space. The suits in command of space exploration notify McBride that they have tracked the cause of the surge straight to an anti-matter device stationed near Neptune, which also happens to be the last location of a legendary expedition known as The Lima Project. The project was led by Roy's father, H. Clifford McBride (played by

Analysis
"Ad Astra" begins nicely but deteriorates as it progresses, and nothing in the last half hour or so of the film works. The finale might have been so much better and more contextually fitting. However, the entire film leads to a showdown between the son and the father at the finale. Instead of emotional turmoil and pain, both actors portray the moment as if they are next-door neighbours who meet in the alley and decide whether or not to grab some pizza. Before the film's most ridiculous narrative gimmick, which includes a nuclear explosion pushing McBride's spaceship from Neptune back to Earth, there's some weird futile situation about whether or not McBride should let his father go, both metaphorically and physically.

Verdict
It's exhilarating, daring, and visually stunning while raising significant philosophical and emotional concerns in viewers.
