James Gray’s Ad Astra (2019) is a monumental masterpiece that follows the footsteps of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001 Space Odyssey (1968) and Andrei Tarkovsky Stalker (1972). This is because the infinite universe, which cannot be reached even by human imagination, is not science, but philosophy.

So, the character is different from the human drama "Gravity" that overcame all kinds of hardships alone or "Interstellar," which evoked the unknowable scientific knowledge. Therefore, the character is different from the human drama 'Gravity', which has fallen alone and overcomes all kinds of difficulties.

The 2001 Space Odyssey casts the fundamental question of what human beings are and where they came from. Human beings, not creators, inject their emotions into machines and imagine and fear when man-made "artificial computer computers," or creatures, are rebelled. All these hallmarks are human personality, and Hal proves the weakness of man, who wants to rule as a creator but is only a finite being.

However, these works, which are dotted with all kinds of symbols and metaphors, are still difficult to interpret today. But there is no right answer because it is an open field of philosophy. It is enough if each interprets his own thoughts. That is why they may be considered as monumental works.
