Like it's pretty decent, but also it's not really about space or anything at all. It all feels a bit like some studio heads were like "Here let's cash in on stuff like The Expanse by making something that's got a little bit of that and a bunch of 2001, kching!"
Visually it's fuckin great and I might even go see it again in iMax maybe, but all the whole film really says is "Brad Pitt misses his da". I think the plot is actually decent in terms of moving the film forward, but the overall story is fairly meh, which is kind of annoying because ya know sci fi is meant to be all about the great ideas, and this film doesn't really have much in that regard.
The score is decent, somewhat predictable space movie fare but there's a couple of scenes where it's really good. Still, didn't really build much in the way of tension I suppose.
Oh The Suth shows up during the film and like everything he does on screen is still fucking class, he is one of the greatest ever.
Here's the real thing, it feels like a film that would have worked much better as a mini-series or full tv show, but they couldn't make it that because The Expanse is already there and The Expanse fuckin rules.
Finally, Tommy Lee Jones is in it and I was disappointed that he doesn't have a knife fight with a chef at any point.
