About This Movie

Astro (2020) dives into a blend of ambition and obsession in the sci-fi realm. The film’s tone feels introspective, almost haunting at times, which sets it apart from typical space odysseys. The pacing, while deliberate, allows the viewer to truly contemplate the protagonist's choices. It's interesting how the practical effects evoke a sense of nostalgia — they remind me of older sci-fi flicks where ingenuity was key. Performances, though from mostly unknown actors, carry a weight that feels genuine and relatable. Themes of passion pushing boundaries resonate throughout, leaving you wondering about the cost of our desires. Definitely a unique piece in the sci-fi collection, albeit not without its quirks.
