Good and Bad
Overall not a terrible movie. I think it did one thing really well and one not so well. The look at loneliness in space and the journey of a man to find the father who left him. These are powerful emotions and feeling that I personally relate to and I'm sure there are many others that also relate to this. This is what Ad Astra does really well. However, the overall story is rather lacking in depth other than that.

"Hoop Dreams is, again, someone telling you the truth. This time, it’s about the glamorized, flashy, perfectly packaged machine that is basketball. You think, this is cool, this is what it’s supposed to be, I’m sure all these people are living great lives. Then you see this is what the grind is, and it mirrors your own upbringing in some way. You understand that everybody starts from somewhere and everybody’s got a journey and it doesn’t always work out the way you intended."

"I also read a book recently called Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. She's phenomenal, and she's written so many beautiful books. Purple Hibiscus was also quite moving, about a family - a daughter, and a brother, a mother and a father - and these deep, intricate details of their life and the complexities of it all. You find yourself falling in love with this family and really being taken on their journey, their heartbreak, and their secrets - it is a beautiful and amazing read."
