Brad Pitt heads to space in the new movie Ad Astra... 1 / 8

But when exactly does the film take place? 2 / 8

Unfortunately, Ad Astra never gives a definitive answer. 3 / 8

The best it does is say this is the "near future." 4 / 8

There are teases to the timeline of events in this world... 5 / 8

But Ad Astra never nails down a starting point to build from. 6 / 8
