Ad Astra had its flaws for sure and I don't know if it was worthy of Oscar buzz.
But it deserves points for creativity. I enjoyed aspects of it. The story wasn't really rewarding but there was a 'space future' depicted that I've never seen in a movie before. So i can't hate on some of the originality there, as strange as some of it was. I liked the various bases on planets and moons with contingents of different nations at each installation. And the sort of space airports/hubs in the film. It kind of got the wheels of your imagination rolling. That was honestly cool.
