My blog reviews movies as political, historical or social commentary with intentional disregard for their artistic or cinematic value. One foe of American political scientists and economists is that they ignore movies as sources to inform them on changes in American culture, view exoticism as a hallmark of "foreigness" and, at the same time, impart American values and judgment to foreign movies.

Ad Astra.
The movie heavily borrows (some will say plagiarizes) on a brilliant and unappreciated "Solar" and lacks the humor of the "Martian". The authors probably recognized that the plot was too thin for the blockbuster and added two clumsy and plot-unrelated episodes with lunar pirates and with apes taking over the Dutch spaceship. Why in these days and age they would not have humanoid robots to explore dangerous objects? I posted this still to illustrate that laser light as any electromagnetic signal travels 6-7 hours to Neptune.
