Ad Astra-Kids’ Movie Review

Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) is an aeronautics engineer. He’s married, and has no children. When Roy was 16 years old his father, Clifford McBride (Tommy Lee Jones), was selected to head the Lima Project, a manned mission into space to look for aliens. When Clifford goes missing Roy eventually goes on a mission to find his father in Ad Astra, which is Latin for “through hardships to the stars.” They didn’t have the best father/son relationship, but Roy eventually realizes how much he and his father have in common, and he desperately wants to make peace with him.  Ad Astra is a sci-fi, emotional  drama about a father/son relationship.
