Is this camera suitable for astrophotography and nightscape photography?

I have done both Astrophotography and Nightscape/Cityscape with this camera and find it does a great job at both. I will say I have done less Astro with this one than I did with the 5DIII. Here is a sample shot of the Seattle Skyline. https://500px.com/photo/128341031/downtown-seattle-at-the-blue-hour-by-greg-stringham?ctx_page=1&from=user&user_id=4249840 There are several other night shots in my profile. This is not a lot of exacting detail but a picture is worth a thousand words.

Are there any downsides or missing features if i were to upgrading from the 5d mk iii to the 5ds r?

The reason to get the 5DSR is if you're taking controlled photos, in the studio, on a tripod for landscape, architecture,etc., that can make use of the massive increase in resolution. If you're looking for something that is an upgrade to the general functionality of the 5D III, such as some handheld work, higher ISO (>800), requiring focus on objects in motion, etc., the 5D IV might suit you better - it got a nice bump in megapixel and it's dynamic range is better than the 5DSR. I'd say rent them both and pick the one that best fits your need.

Is this camera recommended for filmmaking purposes?

If you want a better Canon DSLR dedicated for movies, then I would recommend the EOS-1D C
