I love this music so much, and this had to be done. i don't own any of the videos or songs. this is simply an individual edit. all rights and credits go directly to their rightful owners. no copyright infringement intended.
I didn’t like Ad Astra the first time I saw it. Something clicked on the second viewing and it’s now one of my favorite Sci-fi films. The theme of the father abandoning his child, the search for the father and finding your purpose, the idea of an empty Universe enhancing the connections we have on Earth, there are many more. It’s a more of a somber poem than a traditional sci-fi.
I think this is actually true sci-fi, looking back on it older sci-fi stories and cinema have always asked what it means to be human - Solaris, Bladerunner, 2001, etc. i think it's a shame that nowadays we associate it with ONLY the spectacle of the genre
I need to rewatch it. Just saw it the one time. I don't want to spoil anything for people who haven't seen it, but I remember being pissed off at the ending, that the rest of the movie was at least somewhat believable with where future technology may be, but the ending was just straight up ridiculous. It's been a long time though, so I gotta sit through it again -- this scene and the moon buggy chase were incredible though.
I liked how calm he was during this whole ordeal. A typical Hollywood movie would have him shouting and reacting emotionally, but in this the actor behaved like an actual professional would act in this situation.
@@der.8492 im gonna shorten the plot out but its a chinese made movie (high quality not crappy) about the sun growing in size to the point that it will engulf the earth within a 100 years so the governments of the world band together and essentially turn the entire earth into a space ship by constructing a LOT of mount everest sized engines to move it out of the solar system and into proxima centauri which is the closest star
Its not space. Its about the same hight Felix B. made that jump "jump from edge of space".Its the upper atmosphere. Even in low orbit , you need to be moving at speed otherwise you will fall back to earth. You are still in the planet's gravity well.
This scene was good, but lets be honest the second half of the film was boring (basically after the moon). The science completely fell apart and it was just a drag. First time I watched this film I didn't mind it, but rewatched it the other day and god it was pretty bad
@Peter Johnson he was climbing down, not up. He had a safety harness on. Did you miss him taking it off when the super structure started to disintegrate?
@@pillepolle3122 well then its fair to ask why they don't move around more efficiently than on ladders on such an enormous structure. They could have simple elevator or cable harness to pull themselves up or let themselves down like a belay line.
I adore this film. Well done special effects resulted in amazing visuals and the unexpected horror aspects of the movie were amazingly compelling since it was kind of out of nowhere (in a good way).
Using this track from "Interstellar" was perfect for this scene. The entire soundtrack is incredible, and I love Max Richter's score for Ad Astra just as much.
@@steretsjaaj2368 It does fit so well! No Time for Caution is one of my favorite tracks from Interstellar during the intense docking scene. If you haven't seen Interstellar, I encourage you to watch it. It is a wonderful, and Hans Zimmer's music is exceptional.
@@SzejskiAtleast it's more realistic than other sci-fi stuff. I really enjoy this movie because it's a good movie, not because it has to be realistic.
Вы американцы настолько тупые? 😂 вас не смущает как этот чел пролетел через стратосферу😂😂😂я знал что американцы тупые что не знают географии дальше своего города
sincerely, and leaving aside my opinion on the movie´s plot and script (not too good, i found it so pretentious, trying so painfully to be the next solaris by tarkowsky, and failing miserably), i don´t find it realistic at all. specifically in this scene, i can´t understand why they didn't put a little bit of brain or budget in creating a more realistic pressure suit than that orange garbage collector jumpsuit, so obviously made of light cotton, completely soft fluttering in the wind. any decent cosplayer can make a better one. the helmet looks more like a gemini era prop than something to be wearing in the future, but let's say that the film has a bit of retrofuturism vibe and let it pass. but also the moon colony interiors look like a sovie era shopping mall, and there is no different gravity there, all the people walks so normally. the lunar suit is also made of soft fluffy cotton, not pressurized at all, and the lunar rovers chase scene looks risible. in mars, they make him read the messages for his father in an anechoic chamber, wtf. that´s just silly/poor art direction, looks like someone just liked the look of that and said "hey, let's put it in a movie!" and how about sneaking into the rocket through a sewer, or taking a couple of rabid baboons to space, with fangs and all? or the astronauts shooting bullets inside a saceship? seriously? i love scifi movies, and i don't even need them to be super realistic, but al least make something believable.
Even barely-trained privates learning to be paratroops can stabilize a spin, and automatic opening devices are a standard feature on all non-ripcord chutes.
hahahaha yeah, they would equip the suit with emergency spin stabilization jets, and a laptop computer, and a hamburger, and a small couch. Dude, do you have any idea what it would take to include jets in a space suit? ridiculous.
Not a huge fan of the movie. But I will give it credit. Visually stunning film. The pursuit scene on the moonscape was pretty original. Beautiful movie. I’d still recommend a viewing.
Spoiler## His dad was sending emp surges to earth from his research station that was in deep space, knocking out most of earth's electrical technology. NASA decided to send the son(brad pitt) in order to convince him to stop. Turns out his dad wasn't purposely causing it, but he realize there are no aliens to be found within the infinite cosmo, so hr went sorta insane trying to find aliens. Movie end with brad Pitt bLowing up the research station, going back to earth and his dad killing himself in space
@@muhsin1279 Because its forgettable and makes little sense. The original script had the father not be known and SOS type deal. Found out the father went mad, created this gun thing and was trying to kill everyone on earth. Son sneaked on and eventually broke through to his father who agreed to come back. But he sent his son back and stayed. He was afraid the people on Earth would no accept him for what he did.. Was a completely different movie. We now have Dad sad, unknown EMP gun or why they have it, Son came to the station because military is apparently idiots and could not send a recording Space guns and space monkey. Almost kills his son because he wanted to stay. Also the constant voice over was not a thing.
@@bobshanery5152 I don’t know, every problem you have with the script doesn’t bother me, with each being either believable considering the situation and context or simply of service to the film. It’s a good script, and a good movie.
I can't imagine how that tower was built. It is impossible to build such structure due to buckling, lateral loads, oscillations and even fluttering. Fairy tale stories are great since we can build good special effects but again it is just imagination. :D
Any real space elevator-type structure would definitely need to have a far more spin-friendly design to handle the sheer forces and pressures being exerted against it, this is true. Not to mention a counter-weight.
Several methods exist I'm helping prop up such a massive tower such as active support. Isaac Arthur has some amazing videos on the feasibility of space structures like Space elevators like in this movie and Sky cranes.
The true space elevator is actually a TENSILE structure and is quite feasible (well, very high tensile strength material is needed). The center of mass is in geostationary orbit. The orbital dynamics makes the material below the center of mass want to orbit faster, providing the tension.
@@lazarus2691 There are two parts of me: The first thinks that that the space fountain is a damn cool out-of-the-box idea, and the second part is giggling because that diagram looks like a cock-n-balls reaching towards the heavens.
@fhweuenh beuhhhh ... no ... both are beautiful : ad Astra and interstellar. And I don't see any issue to use a bit of creativity to associate both.. "ripped off" is a ridiculous jugement : nobody seeing this arrangement thinks that it's damaging the originals... except you.
@@francisdebriey3609 Didn't you see my comment? I think the original Ad Astra score fit the scene a lot better. Even though I enjoy the interstellar score more, I just don't see why someone felt the need to change it here.I
I love this movie. Very enjoyable sitting in the theatre and just being engulfed by the story. It's no interstellar and the plot holes in the last scene were obvious but it was good over all.
I haven't watched it and I'm not interested in doing so. I like Brad Pitt but I'm pretty sure I won't believe him portraying a scientist or something like this. That's not his type of role.
Expectations matter so much. The trailer promised a search-and-destroy story, a son loyal to humanity & full of conviction to execute 'the mission' who is pitted against his gone-to-the-dark-side father. We were shown dunebuggy gun battles, exploding space stations, crazy EVA space scenes, hand-to-hand combat with a little dash of intrigue. Instead, the move is highly cerebral evaluation of a man who's convictions are being massively assaulted - not only in that his hero-worship of his father may have been misplaced, but also the compounding realization that the hero-worship itself was never enough compared to a real relationship. Pitt's character's motivation is hidden - he is consistently lying/obfuscating to everyone in order to get to his real objective, a face-to-face "what the hell?" chat with Dad. It's not that it was a bad movie, it was just sold to a completely different audience than the one that would appreciate it.
@@Ricardo-cl3vs He plays an astronaught. Not a lab scientist. The whole movie there is almost 0 important science. (maybe 1 thing you could argue I guess). I don't want to ruin it incase I convince you to check it out. His character is very much in line with what you'd expect from a brad pitt character. it's great if you like his other movies.
@@LanaaAmor I think Brad Pitt's character got a distress call from a research space station. He goes to it and goes inside and it's all tore up. There are huge scratches in the wall. He turns a corner and there's a baboon floating in zero g gravity that attacks him. The baboon got lose from it's cell and killed everyone on board the station.
I can't get over how the conclusion of this movie has him back in service. I don't care whether he saved the world or how low his heartrate is, he went against orders to hijack a spaceship, killing all of the other crew in the process. The idea that he would be reinstated is laughable.
A good space movie. My only quirp is the ending where they come to the conclusion there is no other life out there, felt forced in order to add to the message of the film. There's 200 billion stars in the Milky Way alone, probably more and at least as many planets as that. Those are some serious odds to bet against imo. The scariest part is when you think of the distance, not if we're alone out here.
@@ThewillofFeknar Yeah it's frightening to think light year speeds might as well be turtle speed when facing up against the vastness of space. Least there's is something unknown to discover still since the universe is expanding faster than light so there might be an answer out there. As for Humanity, who knows haha...maybe we discover a Mass Relay out there ;)
that movie is totally full of not realistic situations, that why it's a fiction film, And all it's charm resid on there ! Thanks for this extract ! It is a real good moment, as well as the all movie. Merry Christmas !
fr I watched it at midnight and felt the loneliest I have ever been and always wanted to be. Especially when he was heading toward Saturn. Loved every minute of the movie.
it was a Powerful sci-fi and a true slap for how vast and yet how melancholic the universe is... and here they just reached till Neptune!! Really managed to tell us how long it takes just to reach Moon, with all the technology they have, let alone second last planet in the Solar System The moment he left earth... We saw Grey We saw red We saw yellow We saw blue We saw black We saw white but it was only earth.... where we saw Green !! A true colour of LIFE
Because the script. The concepts and ideas they were working with were so so so cool and they were wasted on this film. That's what any hardcore sci/fi fan hates most. Good ideas that are executed poorly.
It’s because the movie centers on a very unpopular but most likely true idea of the rare earth philosophy. We are unique, and most people don’t like to think we are alone in the Milky Way.
I hear it allot, I don’t understand why people don’t like this movie. It’s because it’s based on the rare earth hypothesis. Most people don’t like the idea we are alone in this galaxy, most likely though, we are.
It's honestly badly advertised. In the trailer, it looks like a science fiction action film when it's actually more of a retrospect of human emotions and how the MC is literally running away from his problem on earth to another planet where it's not as good as he expected. And the plot maybe a bit of a stretch, but good visual and sound designs with good cinematography. The acting is on point. I'd give it a 6.5 or 7. I enjoyed the feelings it gave me,but that doesn't mean it's a good movie to everyone. And it's totally okay.
I wouldn't say that we are alone in the sense that we're the only life out here. The galaxy is massive, so the chances for us to be the only life here are very low. However, intelligent life is either very rare, or we are indeed the only intelligent life out here. Detecting intelligent life would be much easier than regular life, but our technology to detect even regular life is still in its infancy.
@@VaygrX Spot on, it took a massive amount of chance extinction level events for us to be here. If one of those things didn’t happen, the T-Rex would still be roaming this earth.
I disagree with you. Logically and numerically, it is impossible for humans to be the only life in the entire universe. We merely are not advanced enough to properly speculate or discover other viable life out there. We will get there.
Obviously the materials are strong enough to support it, we're not that far away with current technology. But sure, get mad about it instead of suspending your disbelief.
Well, it's emotionally well done for me, but the plot is... Not very tight in my opinion. It has interesting concepts, but they don't connect well with one another. However, I really liked how lonely it made me feel. So... Up to you, man.
Ridiculous premise: The have parachutes, so they've anticipated this. They would have planned for the thinness of the air and included a helmet and boot jet system for countering such spin.
This scene is awesome...too bad the rest of the movie is incredibly nonsensical and the plot line seems like someone tossed a sci fi book in a blender and decided to go with whatever came out of the resulting smoothie
yes it can be built using active support systems (using the force generated by a flow of ions to keep the structure standing). The issac arthur space towers episode has more info on how to build them.
When you are watching a movie about deep space travel I don’t think you should get caught up on whether a giant antenna could exist or not. With the way our world is evolving and spending more on defensive budgets we will probably never see this happen to mankind. That or we’ve already doomed ourselves with space debris.
This movie was surprisingly action packed and I feel they missed out by not promoting it as such. Great movie, great ideas and Pitt gives a truly heartfelt performance.
What a strange movie this is. Its whole tone is kind of odd and flat - but worse than that, it seems to be going out of its way to portray the laws of physics one moment and then completely ignoring them the next. I see there's a fair bit of love for it in this comments section, so maybe I should give it another go.
Kind of ridiculous in that it didn't appear that he had a parachute until he pulled the ripcord. The pack on his back seemed to be his life support system. Since it turned out to be a parachute, where is his life support system?
First of all : I would love to know how someone could build a multiple dozen KMs long solid crane, considering Earth's attraction and rotation, and many other restraints. Second : Felix Baumgartner had a laughing giggle during the entire movie, at the Premiere. Legend says he's still guffawing. Third : Thanks for posting this scene, I loved the CGI, but the movie sucked by itself..
Orbital Tethers are a plausible science only limited by current technology, because we don't yet have a material sufficiently strong enough that can be manufactured on such a scale. In order to keep the tether stable there'd have to be a counter weight, or Space Station attached to the other end in geosynchronous orbit.
@@JacquesMesrine94 you wouldn't build one up, you'd build down. A station in a geosynchronous orbit, which would build a tether down and up at the same time (to maintain centre of mass).
That scene looks great but its totally unrealistic. If you fell from space you'd accelerate to thousands of miles and hour because there would be no air resistance to slow you down. When you did finally hit the atmosphere at thousands of miles an hour you'd burn up and de-celeration G forces would be lethal. The only way to survive such a fall would be to have a jet pack and fire thrusters enough to keep you're speed down to hundreds of miles an hour. You also probably wouldn't fall straight down you'd have some orbital velocity and fall at an angle.
A space elevator needs to be at least 70 miles tall to get objects into orbit if its lower than there is too much air resistance to reach escape velocity/orbital speed. At 25 miles it would look like space but there would be too much air resistance for a stable orbit. If he fell from 25 miles he could probably survive but I'm assuming this is a functional space elevator in which case he is at least 70 miles probably 100 or 150 miles up. Falling 70+ miles you wouldn't stand a chance you would build up way too much speed.
well, i havent seen the whole film so i dont know if this scene specifically is set in actual space (in the story of course) but pitt's character falling and entering a spin has some strong resemblance to what felix baumgartner actually went through on his stratosphere jump IRL. of course there was no space elevator and if felix has been spinning until blue sky, like pitt does in the clip, he would have died from the G force of the RPM: im not saying the entire use of dramatic license is scientifically correct in every way, just that it could be somewhat plausible (minus details) if it was a stratosphere fall and not any higher. (i'm a aspiring writer and a fan of the kittinger/baumgartner/eustace jumps, not a scientist, so if i got something wrong, correct me, but please dont take it personally)
@@truegrit1860 If a space elevator doesn't have orbital velocity it collapses under its own weight no material is nearly strong enough to support so much weight. There is no point in building in building a 50 mile high tower so I'm making the logical assumption that he is falling from a space elevator. If he is falling from a space elevator than he has to much velocity to fall straight down.
Maybe I missed something on the film, but it was never mentioned as a space elevator. It's some sort of communication antenna, so it shouldn't be as high as a space elevator.
@@Weathernerd27 Wrong. If you would have seen the movie, it was made clear that this is some sort of deep space communications antenna. The mission patch of his suit even mentions it. You can't just make the assumption it is something else if the movie explicitly tells you what this structure is supposed to be.
