Description:

I just finished watching this movie that I was eagerly anticipating, and since I’ve brought it here to recommend to you, it clearly means the movie managed to captivate me. Our story revolves around a space engineer whose father embarked on a mission to Neptune 20 years ago in search of extraterrestrial life. The movie follows our protagonist as he attempts to reconnect with his father, taking us along on this visually stunning and emotionally charged journey.First and foremost, let me say this: don’t compare this 2-hour movie to films like The Martian or Gravity, which I’ve previously recommended here. This movie explores a very different kind of narrative, steering away from survival stories and instead focusing on an introspective journey. The entire story unfolds with the main character at its core, and the film’s visuals are simply breathtaking. Could the story’s structure have been better? Absolutely.If you’re into space-themed movies, this film will likely satisfy you. But if you’re looking for tension-filled, action-packed sequences, you might want to skip this one, as even Brad Pitt’s phenomenal performance won’t be enough to hold your attention.Make sure to watch this movie in the highest quality possible to truly appreciate its stunning visuals.
