Ad Astra -- What I Thunk Of It

We had some wet, humid typhoon action here in lovely South Korea this past weekend, so I pretty much stayed indoors.  I did make it to the movies to see Ad Astra and, as much as I usually like slow, non-action-y sci-fi, it was a dud.  It was dull and ponderous, with Brad Pitt making the same confused face throughout.

It also didn't help that in the near future, people are still really dumb.  We can build a huge colony on the Moon, but if we need to get through "Moon pirate territory" (!?) you'll have to take a crappy Apollo-era buggy with no real armaments or defenses.

It had a few interesting moments but overall the script just wan't up to what it needed to be.
