'Ad Astra:' A Look At Our Not-So-Distant Future?

Ad Astra movie, Facebook

Alice Reese, Herald-Banner movie review, enjoyed "Ad Astra," the space adventure starring Brad Pitt, in which  travel to other planets has become a part of everyday life. Astronaut Pitt is sent on a mission to find his missing father (Tommy Lee Jones) and, perhaps, to save the world.  Alice says the movie version of "Downton Abbey," in theaters today, will please fans of the long-running public-TV series.
