Wow, what amazing cinematography!  Wow, what a boring movie!  How could a movie that features Brad Pitt and Tommy Lee Jones be so bad?  I really don’t know.  The story simply plods along.  In the beginning, there is a little action.  Disastrous events are happening!  Major Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) is called in to talk with the brass at US Space Command.  His father, Cliff (Tommy Lee Jones) had gone on a secret mission 26 years earlier to search for intelligent life.  He goes missing around Neptune after ten years, and is presumed dead. Now, the solar system is bothered by mysterious power surges that threaten to destroy all human life! Roy is tasked to go to Mars and send a message to his dad, who they now think may still be alive. On the moon base, he undergoes one of the most pointless ambushes and chases you could imagine.  He was to have been accompanied by an old friend, COL Pruitt (Donald Sutherland).  Luckily for Donald, his character suffers a heart attack and is out of the film. He is replaced by four Space  Com crewmen, who fall by the wayside one by each. Brad Pitt finds his dad in one of the most anticlimatic scenes of a father son reunion ever recorded.  That is it!  Confused? I sure was. That is the whole two hour movie.  Getting to Mars is not eventful and finding his father is super-easy. The end is anticlimactic and predictable. The  only reason I can think for anyone to see this is for the breath-taking interstellar shots; but you can see the same thing by going to nasa.gov.
