Saw this last night. Honestly the worst movie I’ve ever sat through at a theatre in my life.

****++++Spoilers******


No big twist occurs in this film....the only reason I didn’t leave is because I was waiting for some big twist....it never fucking comes.

Also, the last 15 minutes makes the film Gravity seem Plausible.

Thanks for the review. Was on our list to go see but then I saw the critic reviews love it and the audience reviews say it sucks.

Yeah I'm over these outer space movies. I don't recall ever seeing one that was just half decent. I guess there is a pretty big audience though since a new one of these rolls out every year or two.

Funny movie, recommended!

I’m generally a sucker for space movies....I will not be easily fooled again after this shit show.

I'll probably stream it but it looks like someone wanted Interstellar with action scenes.

I was going to make fun of its being beat out by Downton Abbey but they reportedly cost about the same to make.

Well it's neck and neck with racist old man Rambo so that's pretty funny.

It was a bad sign when Downton Abbey beat it on a freaking Thursday.

Moon was very good.

Moon was very good.Agreed, though that was ten years ago. Did you see Mute? It had a neat callback to Moon in it.

only seen it once, a really long time ago. couldn't get into it for whatever reason... don't really remember it.

Wow...can't believe that was 10 years ago. I think I saw it only a couple of years ago.

No...I haven't even heard of Mute. Will take a look. :tu

That’s the thing though, the action scenes basically last a total of three minutes, don’t impact the plot whatsoever, come completely out of left field, and are totally out of context with the rest of the movie, which REAllY wants to be philosophical. Two days later and I’m still mad that I paid for it.

Saw it yesterday in the day wtf regal Cinema $12 for matinee price? Lol

Great visuals as all modern space movies are. It was a solid movie, only 2 hours but it felt long. The father son thing felt too forced and the movie plot had to go with it. I'm no scientist or space physics genius but there were plenty of unrealistic scenes in it as well lol

7 out of 10

TBH don't ever mention interstellar in the same post as that abortion that was gravity, that shit was so fucking dumb and everyone who thought it was good are top level retarded

Ad Astra has wait for streaming at home written all over it.
Although maybe I should support it so Pitt returns to his 90s scifi roots, hmmm:spin....

Fuck that guy....this movie was garbage. First ten minutes was cool and then nonsense for two hours.

How could Rambo be racist when he himself is a mestizo of German/Navajo ancestry in the story and has a mestiza neice in the movie. All the people he kills have it coming to them.: Nazis, communists, cartels, Illuminati Zionist Mason's. It wouldn't be racist either if the next Rambo is set in Africa and he starts killing black men. Because those blacks are bad guys that are subjugating women and are warring on the weak. Bad people come in all diversity.

That's just what the critics are saying because Trump bad. Audience reviews are good. I'm actually looking forward to seeing, looks entertaining enough. It's just not the type of movie I would go to the theater to see.

People are retards. It's just a movie. Sjws 's didn't like Rambo because women, fags,etc are not empowered in this film. It shows the brutal reality of what life is like in Mexico . Only white women are empowered in Mexico, every other women has to work as hard as guys to make a living. The movie is realistic. Those are the types of wounds some of those weapons cause. I don't know what kind of film these critics expect. It's fuckin Rambo! I was entertained! People were crying in the theatre and applauded when it was over. Don't listen to rt or sjw critics. I always go by what imbd ratings because regular people vote on the film's.

Or maybe all the Rambo movies are shit, except now “media bad” so anything the media gives shitty reviews to, you’ll instinctively pretend to enjoy. I really hope the New York Times writes up an article about how drinking baboon jizz is bad for you, just to see Trumptards squirt it in their mouths to prove it’s FAKE NEWS.

it was a snore fest and not realistic in my mind considering a great-grandfather is out there still trying to act nimble, strong, and stealthy. as well, the story was lackluster and reminded me of another whack TAKEN.

A lot of pointless stuff in this movie, plot-wise and from a movie making standpoint. Kind of a gumbo of the more boring parts of a few Star Trek movies and Interstellar if you threw in Neil Armstrong from First Man with daddy issues and a bunch of implausible deaths.

I think if they had some more goofball action sequences and space madness it could have made a really good SyFy series. Otherwise you just sit there knowing it could've easily been a better movie.

Felt really small scale for a story that went from Earth to the moon to Mars to freaking Neptune. The antenna array was the coolest sci-fi thing in the entire movie and that was just done in three minutes.

Right!!?? That first scene made me think I was really in for a kick ass ride.....then it never got good again....and the moon gun chase thing was so random and poorly done!

It all goes into the theme of space sucks, go home-- but come on. You got to show why folks are drawn out there in the first place. The pseudoscience of the cosmic rays getting stronger as they approached Earth made less sense than any reach in Interstellar.

I know it was kind of anti-space movie movie, but it turned out to be more of an anti-movie movie.
