Ad Astra is concurrently simple and ambitious in its purpose. It is the sort of film that might have been set anywhere and just happens to be set in space.

There are few films in recent memory that tow the line of mediocrity so convincingly. Allied is neither good nor bad and its quite fierce in its averageness.
