Looks decent, will keep an eye open for it.

Looks good!

Like the look of that - however, since Ad Astra anything even remotely spacey I'm a bit cautious of

Seems like a perfect Christmas movie to me.

Hmm looks like it could be interesting, will give it a whirl when I get chance

Looks interesting.

Boringly predictable manufactured drama against a pretty backdrop and reasonable acting.

Yup, sums it up nicely I think, easily forgettable.

Easy on the eye, easy on the brain. Ideal Xmas viewing.

Yup a pretty fair summary, i must admit to being a bit disappointed by the movie, i was expecting something with a bit more meat on it's bones but it killed a couple of hours, not worth a rewatch tho.

This. Just like solaris TBH, also a clooney film with similar themes that they didnt spoil in the trailer, but led to a boring movie overall.

Thought the ending was naff and seemed to miss one vital point about what would need to happen next

Pretty and well acted but ultimately felt mostly empty and pointless.

There was some looseness over the nature of the K23 colony in the movie - I assume it was partially populated already especially as there was supposed to be other logistic ships heading outbound and the ship in the movie looked like it was more than just an exploration ship plus all the talk of cleared passages, etc. but I didn't really spend too much time looking into the details.

Started pretty well, lost interest about halfway, and the ending was poor in my opinion... could have been much better.

robj20 · 26 Dec 2020 at 10:13

I thought it was very average.

You mean a future planet of hillbillies

I was thinking the same

future is all inbred, surely they could have had the other woman survive so there's some genetic variety
