Hey All,

I saw "Ad Astra" the other day. I thought it was a very good movie, particularly in it's attention to technical details. For instance, the space suit helmets are real helmets. They have NO internal lights and you can only see the faces of the people in them when the exterior lighting is at the correct angle. In most shots, the faceplates are either blank glossy dark or gleaming gold (depending on the visor in use). And physics is a stone b***h. :)
