In short, I was expecting an Interstellar and it ended up being a snooze fest. The acting by Brad was splendid and there were some decent space scenes (nothing spectacular imo) but the story was so one dimensional, unnecessarily long and boring. If you’re going to go the 2001 route go the full 2001 route. What a terrible attempt at replicating Kubricks’s space drama. 5/10 because of Brad Pitt’s acting, if not it would have been a 3

I wanted more science and was super excited to see the anti-matter weapon. Instead, we get this whimsical, Terrence Malick, sci-fi mumblecore bullish!t. And why did he have to travel all the way to mars just to send a message to his father???

I haven't seen it, but the above descriptions match what I thought it would be like from the trailers, so I'm glad I put it on my "wait for it to turn up an a movie channel" list.
Plus, what is it with Hollywood and daddy issues?

I was enjoying it up until the final act which dragged on and featured an alarmingly poor performance by Tommy Lee Jones. Pitt was engaging and there were enough beautiful visuals to make it worth the ride but I left disappointed. Much better than Interstellar, though! 5/10

Daddy issues is just the current trend.

It's been going quite a few years. Enough already!

Funny you say that because this movie made me think it was a combination of 'Thin Red line' (by Malick) and 'Interstellar'. Problem is that it took the monologues from Malick's snoozefest, and nobody really cares about them, and combined it with mediocre parts of Interstellar to make one mediocre space hooey!
While I'm here, and I assume not all of it was even supposed to make complete sense, but I have to ask how did Tommy Lee Jones live in space all those years? The old 'Waterworld' drink your own urine trick? I also have to ask about Brad Pitt's return flight back to earth. Before the explosion the computer voice says something about earth being several billions of years away. How long exactly did it take him to make the journey back? He doesn't really seem a day older when they take him out of the pod except the slight growth in his beard.

Yeah, sorry meant to write miles. That was just one of many nonsensical scenes in the movie. "I look forward to the day my solitude ends". About a couple of minutes later : back on earth. I guess his solitude ended a lot faster than it began.

I assumed the aliens were helping him, but that would have made sense and would actually have made the film interesting.
