Ad Astra Movie Review (SPOILERS)

Ad Astra is a space drama which I enjoyed but wouldn’t sit through again.

What I liked; the moon pirates. Can we get a full feature on that? Also, the 70’s-80’s sci-fi vibe when Roy Mcbride(Pitt)was on Mars. Especially when he was in the ‘comfort room.’ The psych evaluation tests which determine if one is fit to serve. The soundtrack was great as well. It gave weight to awe-inspiring visuals while in space or during a ship's launch. Finally, the father-son themes and Pitt not choosing to go down his father's path, which seemed to be the case for a while in the story.

However, I prefer Interstellar and Gravity to Ad Astra if we are comparing similar films. Space madness is introduced in Interstellar, and it is an element in the narrative here. It seems the longer you are in space you might become crazy. Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones characters had shades of that, but it didn’t stop them from trying to achieve their respective missions.

Overall, the film feels long and boring at times. It can be trimmed. Good movie, but not great.

Weapons Movie Review-Was it better than Barbarian?

YouTube Video Weapons by Zach Cregger was a solid horror film, especially for fans of face mutilation and suspense. While the twist didn’t fully land for me, the movie picked up after a slow start and became quite engaging. I really enjoyed the eerie electronic score during tense moments and thought the cast was strong—The characters and actors playing Gladys and Alex were standout performances. The multi-perspective storytelling around 17 missing kids added depth, and I liked how it wrapped up. Not as strong as Barbarian , but still a very good film—I'd give it a 7.5 out of 10. Please post your thoughts, comments, down below. Find more of my movie reviews here.

Fantastic Four: First Steps-Out of the Theater Quick Review

Jason and I give our quick review of Fantastic Four: First Steps. We both gave it a rating of 7.9/10 . We praise the movie’s stunning production design, visuals (especially Galactus and The Thing), and soundtrack. Pedro Pascal stood out as Reed Richards, and the Silver Surfer was a highlight. While the film lacked some character depth and suspense, we still considered it the best Marvel movie of the year so far — surpassing Brave New World and Thunderbolts. There were two post-credit scenes: one worthwhile, one forgettable. Here's our out of the theater review A longer podcast spoiler review is coming soon.
