t’s been a long wait for those of us wondering whether Brad Pitt would look good in a spacesuit. In 2002, he pulled out of Darren Aronofsky’s $70m fantasy The Fountain a few weeks before shooting was due to begin, causing the production to collapse. (When it was finally made with Hugh Jackman on a much-reduced scale, the figure “2001” seemed to refer not only to its main influence but also its budget.)
In Ad Astra, we finally have lift-off. Pitt plays Roy McBride, an astronaut whose pulse rate never accelerates, not even during an accident that sends him tumbling out of space and back to earth, falling the entire length of one of the pylons which reaches up from the ground and into the stars like Jack’s beanstalk.
Roy’s father is Clifford McBride, pioneer of the Lima Project, which was set up to comb the farthest reaches of space for alien life. Roy is greeted by complete strangers as “the son of a legend”, though the last message he received from Clifford was 27 years ago, from somewhere beyond Mars. Since then, not so much as a postcard.
But what’s this? A series of powerful blasts from deep in space have led the top brass to conclude that Clifford may still be up there, wreaking havoc like the giant at the top of the beanstalk. If only there were a level-headed astronaut who could be dispatched to find him. It might also be a plus if that astronaut had an emotional connection with Clifford, and perhaps harboured some abandonment issues that needed to be worked though with the old man. But where to find such a person?
