Astronaut (2019)
TOMATOMETER
AUDIENCE SCORE
Critic Consensus: Astronaut can't quite escape the gravitational pull of its story's sentimental overtones, but Richard Dreyfuss keeps the film in a pleasantly diverting orbit.

It's meant to be consumed quickly and easily and the resulting taste is bland.
Better to revisit "Cocoon" or "Space Cowboys" instead.

In the end, only a fraction of McLeod's ambitions sticks a landing. But "Astronaut" stays afloat with sweetness, thanks to a measured performance from Dreyfuss.
It's not entirely believable, but where there's a metaphor there's a way. Old asses put out to pasture. Angus appreciates the symbolism. I bet Dreyfuss does too.

For a first feature, Astronaut is a respectable effort overall.

The narrative is slight and the characters are thinly drawn.
