James Gray's Ad Astra takes the perfectly decent premise of a fun, schlocky space adventure cheapie, then sits down next to it with a trowel full of thick, creamy, slow-moving profundity and starts smearing. Brad Pitt plays Roy, an astronaut in the near future who must travel to the bitter climes of Neptune to find his thought-lost father Cliff (Tommy Lee Jones) who may or may not have an antimatter widget that's threatening the fate of the solar system.
Roy traverses increasingly hostile territory while contemplating what might have happened to his father's mind, and what might be happening to his own. On his journey, he will encounter a lot of his own Terrence Malick-like voiceover, an incredible score (by Max Richter), some of the most amazing space photography in a film (by Interstellar's Hoyte van Hoytema) and an eventual near-insufferable tone of slow, bleak somberness that will leave audiences wanting to give Gray a chocolate cream and a pat on the back just to cheer him up.
