Ad Astra's Lunar Rover Car Chase Looks Like Mad Max In Space
Ad Astra's Lunar Rover Car Chase Looks Like Mad Max In Space-November 2024

Image for article titled Ad Astra's Lunar Rover Car Chase Looks Like Mad Max In Space

Brad Pitt’s in a new movie, Ad Astra, about a future where people live on the moon, which seems fine if not particularly revolutionary. But I don’t think I’ve ever seen a lunar rover car chase quite like this before. This clip has strong “Mad Max in space” vibes and I’m not complaining.

The excerpt here opens with some ominous “there’s gonna be trouble,” dialogue, cut to plucky lunar rovers questing into the great wide open; they sure look vulnerable. Will they be OK? Of course not! Cue the pew-pew-pew!

I’m not sure what version of humanity’s timeline Ad Astra is supposed to be set in exactly, but can we take a second to appreciate that the rovers have fenders and headlights that look lifted straight off a 1960s dune buggy?

Anyway, happy Sunday, this looks like fun.

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut Ditches The Giant Spoiler For Ultimate Top Speed
There are all kinds of supercars if you want something that’s meant to ape a Formula One car for the road. But what about a streamliner record car for the road? This is the Absolut, which figured 1,600 horsepower wasn’t enough to get a sufficiently manic top speed. It...

The Two Biggest Automotive Anachronisms In Tarantino's Once Upon A Time…In Hollywood Hint At An Undiscovered Subplot
Okay, look, I absolutely realize that any rational window to talk about the cars of Tarantino’s alternate timeline Manson Family is long, long past. I get that. I wanted to do some kind of “cars of” post at the time, but I was unable to get my hands on...

The BAC In 'BAC Mono' Stands For 'Barely Any Changes'
BAC first teased the idea of a new car , but this new car is pretty much the same as the old car. Well, it only looks the same. According to the people who build the thing, this new Mono shares nothing with its predecessor except a single-seat open-cockpit...

Bentley Presents Coachbuilt Bacalar Touring Car And It Is Already Sold Out
If you’re like me, you’ve come to find that most Bentleys are, you know, just a bit too chintzy for your tastes. Sure, they’ll use either or cows for the interior, but those are usually uneducated rural cows, without any real refinement. You demand something better, something deeper, richer,...

The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Is A Subaru Outback Now, Too
Despite my just calling the 2021 facelift ugly , the new car is coming to America in both hybrid and wagon form again, and that means the wagon’s doomsday clock ticks further away from midnight. I can’t be mad at that. While the U.S. has already enjoyed the regular...
