Review: Ad Astra and Downton Abbey

It’s sad and mad Brad in “Ad Astra” and the question of “what is a weekend?” still doesn’t get resolved in “Downton Abbey.”

It’s sad Brad Pitt in space. That pretty much sums up “Ad Astra” so if that sounds appealing have at. I however found it unoriginal and dull. Pitt, Ruth Negga, Liv Tyler, Tommy Lee Jones, and Donald Sutherland star.

​Finally it’s the movie that no one technically asked for, but everyone will be happy is here! The gang is back together, this time with the King and Queen visiting! Is this a movie? Not really, more of an extended holiday special. Is it still great? Totally. Michelle Dockery, Maggie Smith, Hugh Bonneville, Laura Carmichael, Elizabeth McGovern, Joanne Froggatt, Jim Carter, Allen Leech, Matthew Goode, Rob James-Colier, Phyllis Logan, Lesley Nicol, Penelope Winton, Sophie McShera, Kevin Doyle, and Harry Hadden-Paton return. Imelda Staunton and Tuppence Middleton join.
