The cinematography and music are magnificent and create the heavy atmosphere of the film. Some scenes/concepts are absurd logically speaking, but this is not a movie that strives for scientific precision or rational developments in space politics. This is a movie that explores and criticizes male norms (emotional absence, excessive individualism and a need to set up a façade) in a physically, psychologically and emotionally exhausting environment. It also explores the dynamics between an absent father (Tommy Lee Jones) and a son (Brad Pitt) who strives to become like his father while also wanting to become his own person. Brad Pitt plays this complex but reserved character brilliantly. On the brink of being an 8/10 but it's a bit too ridiculous in certain scenes so it gets a strong 7/10 from me.
