funny to see movies that have high critic ratings and terrible movie goer ratings, then you have Rambo, which has low critic ratings, and high movie goer ratings.

34-14 (I can’t recall the exact score) Iowa State over Kansas. Sports scores in the opening scene. How cool is that?
I'm kind of surprised by this. The state motto of Kansas is "Ad Astra Per Aspera" You'd think a movie named Ad Astra would at least have Kansas winning whatever game is shown in it.

Hot take: They knew it was going to be a terrible movie, and this choice was intentional to reflect as much. ;-)

My teenage son and I go to 2-3 movies per month. We both would rank it #1 for the most boring movie of 2019. He fell a sleep soon after the monkey attack scene. I wish I would have. I loved Interstellar and was hoping this would be similar. Nope.
Thanks for this post....I was going to take my teenage son to this one, saved me the $$$.

I liked some aspects of it, but I would skip it in the theater. The imagery, etc, is pretty great.
