The trailer provides some welcome perceptiveness intoAd Astra ’s story , but avoid baffle too much of the plot along the way . As seen here , the plastic film is set in movement when an event referred to as The Surge nearly mystify Pitt ’s character , Roy McBride , killed during an otherwise routine missionary station in quad . Roy is subsequently inform that the incident may be relate to his Fatherhood , who was experimenting with a"highly classified material"at the outskirts of the solar system , when he vanished . Gray has compared the motion picture ’s narrative toHeart of Darknessand the trailer leaves a similar effect , as it prove Roy and his crew face a serial publication of obstacles as they travel through space to find his sire and , hopefully , prevent him ( ? ) and whatever he was puzzle out on from doing more harm . It ’s just too bad Liv Tyler is stuck make for the " married woman who wait at home " part here .
base on this footage , Ad Astra ’s visuals will be worth the extra fourth dimension it took to finish them , and should be something to lay eyes on on the big screen . The trailer try out to sell the film as being a thriller of sort , but odds are the movie will hew closer to a thoughtful , slow - burn adventure in the vein of Gray’sThe Lost City of Zadaptation . Ad Astramay have limited appeal in that respect , but should benefit from being released in late September , when audiences are more often than not more prepared to check out contemplative grownup play . All in all , this continues to seem like one to keep an centre out for over the upcoming months .
