Review 4K Movie

"The Astronaut" starts off as a decent, if unremarkable, sci-fi thriller/horror-ish. For most of its runtime, it's serviceable - not bad, not great - just a middle-of-the-road space story that keeps you watching without ever truly exciting you. The pacing is steady, the visuals are fine, and the performances - especially from a seasoned cast - hold things together enough to make it feel watchable.

But then come the final 20 minutes, and that's where it all falls apart. What could have been an average yet satisfying film nosedives into confusion and poor execution. The script suddenly collapses under its own ambition, turning what was once tolerable into something frustratingly bad. The dialogue becomes clunky, the tone shifts awkwardly, and even the lead actor - usually reliable - feels lost in a sea of incoherence.

It almost feels like the filmmakers tried to pull off a reverse ET with a sprinkle of horror or mystery, but whatever they were aiming for missed the mark completely. By the end, "The Astronaut" is just disappointing. A real shame, considering how decent the journey started.
