The film ‘Ad Astra’ feels like a very artistic work within mainstream Hollywood productions; the choice to present a story dealing with deeper philosophical ideas as an action-oriented science fiction spectacle seems like a smart one from James Gray. It isn't flawless, but it remains engaging throughout and provides a thoughtful look at how parental figures shape their children. Though set against the backdrop of a voyage to distant parts of our solar system, ‘Ad Astra’ is also concerned with examining human emotions.
