100% agree, like you I was hyped after the pre-release teaser PR stuff came out about the realistic black hole rendering etc, was hoping for an actually decent sci-fi

and then just a lame story culminating in "space ghosts"

for me, arguably most disappointing movie ever

Don't watch 'Ad Astra' then. That's also incredibly disappointing (IMHO).

It's all about the expectations. The SciFi part is just a setting in this one.

Not if you take it as a comedy - then the buggy joy ride, monkey station & space surfing make perfect sense. ;-)

Maybe I should have watched it in a state of inebriation. I don't think I could face a second attempt at it.
