Review: 'Ad Astra' takes disappointing trip to the stars
Brad Pitt is the latest Hollywood star to don a spacesuit, this time for "Ad Astra," which is Latin for "to the stars." Unfortunately, "Ad Astra" gets bogged down with constant voiceovers from Pitt talking about his character's feelings. Liv Tyler plays Pitt's love interest, who appears only in a few minutes of flashback sequences. "Ad Astra" winds up being a disappointing film. It borrows too much from other movies and injects thoughts and feelings that seem more suited at a therapy session.
