Continuity mistake: When Brad Pitt is viewing the log from his father, the time index on the log goes up to 40 seconds and more and then jumps back down again.
Ad Astra (2019)
1 continuity mistake - chronological order
Directed by: James Gray
Starring: Brad Pitt, Tommy Lee Jones, Liv Tyler, Ruth Negga
Factual error: Pitt and the other astronauts fight at zero gravity during the take off. However, they are under acceleration, so they wouldn't be able to move.

Suggested correction: It's a bit confusing but the initial launch acceleration seems to have been short, acceleration stops, they float. Then the captain shouts to get back in their seats 'We're staging." A quick cut of a first stage booster falling away, then there's a sudden and momentary impulse, which kills the female astronaut when she hits the bottom of the chamber head first. Then there's no acceleration and they float and fight. So not obvious error.
Roy McBride: The zero G and the extended duration of the journey is affecting me both physically and mentally. I am alone. Something I always believed I preferred. I am alone. But I confess it's wearing on me. I am alone. I am alone.
Trivia: The title is Latin and translates to "to the stars". The title credits fade that wording in English into the title.
