What is Ad Astra about?
The near future, a time when both hope and hardships drive humanity to look to the stars and beyond. While a mysterious phenomenon menaces to destroy life on planet Earth, astronaut Roy McBride undertakes a mission across the immensity of space and its many perils to uncover the truth about a lost expedition that decades before boldly faced emptiness and silence in search of the unknown.

Cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema keeps 57% of it in soft, low-key light. 55% of the frames play at night or in the failing light of dusk. Anamorphic glass shapes the frame. Focus stays shallow in 71% of the frames, isolating subjects from their surroundings.
