I watched this movie and I was very disappointed by the ending. Why American cinema is unable to have plot twists? This dude travels to Neptune to meet his long missing father who spent decades looking for alien life and discovered nothing. Then he goes back to earth now after learning to love and be loved. It would be amazing if the ending was a scene of an American military science lab where two people are dissecting an alien, and one said "he came back", then other asks "did he retrieve the data?".
The problem is not American movie. The problem is Hollywood. Hollywood does not try any more to make memorable films with strong plot. They want to create popcorn cinema for the masses. It's sadly the way of any highly commercialized sector.
Americans are incompetent in general, they can't make good games either.
>>12690 This for me is insane, they spend 10 millions on a movie that literally says nothing interesting, hoping that indians and Chinese will watch it.
>>12690 Are you implying that popcorn kino can not be memorable?
>>12702 In part. I for me can hardly remember most popcorn movies.
I really liked this movie, but not the final part. I guess the melancholic travel to space is relatable to me

>>12704 Yes, me too, specially when he said he looked all his into being alone but now it was too much and unbearable. I also identified with this feeling he often described on the movie, of having to pretend and to fulfill normative roles. But the ending was disappointing and cookie cutter shit.
>>12705 Dude learnt to love and be loved, yet the government and military hid his father information from him all his life, and outright used him. I guess this is post modern American message, get a relationship with some busted person and settle down, accept the status quo
>>12705 >also identified with this feeling he often described on the movie, of having to pretend and to fulfill normative roles. Very true, it is almost existential. Coupled with his absent father syndrome it gives completley different vibes than you would expect from a "Brad Pitt in space" setting. Also opening scene really impressive.
The only good movies are arthouse movies. But movies in general are worse than classical music or books, so don't bother. I've been there (been a cinephile).
>>12713 Contact at least has the plot twist that no one believes her, the consequences are minimal, the government feels embarrassed, it's actually quite a cool criticism. Ad astra is just... Zang I will love this old woman now that my father is dead!!
Wasn't Ad Astra basically "we have Interstellar at home", when Interstellar was already 2001 for 89IQ retards?
>>12715 Interstellar is more of an adventure movie plus family drama in a sci-fi setting. Things have to also work for low IQ audience to even get made these days.
>>12713 Gotta rewatch this gem. Two of my favourite sci fi movies have McConaughey in them.
>>12719 >Interstellar is more of an adventure movie plus family drama in a sci-fi setting Mainly it's pretty shite. It was the first Nolan I disliked on the first viewing.

>>12688 Bernd heard about this movie, that it is like Apocalypse Now. Travel into dangerzone, meer crazy guy, come back. Then he watched the movie and it was like that. Prejudiced by hearing this comparison upfront? Sure.
>>12734 We could become friends t. disliked all Nolan movies (yes, even Memento) except Dunkirk and Oppenheimer, where historical events prevented him from deploying his usual bullshit
>>12769 I actually like Memento, imo it's the one that actually holds up on rewatches. Didn't watch the other two because after Interstellar I lost all interest in any Nolan flick.
No one asked jew
>>12688 >Why American cinema is unable to have plot twists? Because it's made by americans. Stop exposing yourself it american "culture".
