35 Sci-Fi Movies to Watch If You Loved Interstellar

Interstellar showcases the vast nature of space while also highlighting the human desire to connect with powers greater than our own, and Ad Astra carries that same theme throughout the film. Following in his father's footsteps, astronaut Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) travels to space on a risky mission to uncover the forces behind solar-energy surges that threaten humanity. In addition to his mission, McBride is searching for his missing father, Clifford, who disappeared on a space voyage 30 years prior. Alongside a stellar cast that includes Tommy Lee Jones and Donald Sutherland, Ad Astra takes you to space and beyond in a contemplative, grand way.
