THE WORLD RUNS ON IDEAS. A SITUATIONAL AWARENESS MOVIE REVIEW OF BRAD PITT’S NEW MOVIE “AD ASTRA” FOR SENTIMENTAL PEOPLE WHO WANT WHAT IS IMPORTANT – by Gary Smolker, Movie Reviewer, Values Critic, Social Commentator, and Trial Attorney

The new Brad Pitt Movie AD ASTRA is an action packed science fiction movie – it takes place in a new near future.

It is a storyabout a FAST TRACT MAN, a  man on the fast track, a man who was “never there.”

His wife finally left him.

She complained he was never there.

  • He didn’t have time to go on vacations.
  • He wasn’t there when he was traveling.
  • He wasn’t there when he was at home with her.

This deeply bothered him while he was on a mission in outer space to save the world.

He wanted his wife.

He wanted to be with his wife.

At the end of the movie, after he successfully completed his mission, he figured out what he was going to do going forward with his life.

He resolved:

  • To live life.
  • To love his wife, and those he was close to.
  • To share his burdens with his wife and those he was close to and to share their burdens with them.

I thoroughly enjoyed watching this action packed movie with a message.

TAKEAWAY

Takeaway: The world runs on ideas.

This movie sends a good message.

I totally 100% agree with the message this movie sends.
