Only goodness in Ad Astra is the cinematography. The story was horrible, it was slow paced and boring with little action. The trailer is among the most deceiving in the last 15 years.

I liked everything about this movie... the story was great and original.. the characters were all integrated well into the story too.. it had nice blend of emotional scenes and action... Chris Hemsworth gave one of the best performance so far of any of his movies playing Thor.. RDJ did a nice job.. the visuals were excellent... Thanos as a Marvel supervillain was fantastically portrayed by Josh Brolin.. he's fierce, menacing, and relentless... there was so much content in this movie yet it flowed perfectly from scene to scene which is not an easy feat in film making...

This movie was a big blockbuster summer action film that could have been much better... it had the budget, the star power, and the popular theme of zombie apocalypse but under-performed... there has been so many films lately about zombies this one failed to be unique in any memorable way and I feel the audience basically must just like watching zombie attacks because there wasn't much substance here... it was just an epic hide and seek while a man searches for a cure.. no real acting was required... it dragged out a bit too, I felt the editing could have been better maybe? It was missing something...

Gal Gadot and Chris Pine both give a fantastic performance in this superhero film... the story was relatively original given how much of a generic formula most of this action hero genre follows... the character development was unique and special.. the story was nice and heartfelt but had some weak moments that weren't necessary and made the film longer than it needed to be... between this and The Dark Knight, DC has been keeping its legacy in modern cinema going strong..

Even today, in 2019, this movie is better than 9 out of 10 CGI, high tech movies... storytelling is the great differentiator in cinema.. you can only have so much special effects in action scenes, and it becomes like everything else.. this movie had it all... excellent director, picture, story, some character development, and especially Arnold as the T-800.. there was nothing like this movie in 1991 and hasn't been anything like it since in this genre.. it was a special moment in cinema where everything seemed to fit perfectly together and mesmerized audiences...
