Spaceman Movie Review: in this occasion, this movie is starring Adam Sandler in his dramatic era!
And I’m all about it!!
Also, here for reviews and honest opinions to support what you could expect from the movie.
Why did I rate it with only 2 stars? What I liked and disliked? And more!
Let’s see it!
Spaceman Movie Review – About ‘Jakub Procházka’. First Czech Republic’s Astronaut.
I really loved the fact this movie was focused on real life events and such unique topic, as it is being the first astronaut from a country outside the US or Russia!
But…
As tough as making a movie is…
It flopped for me.
And I’m not referring to the visual party and brilliant effects this movie has!
Or the impeccable Voice Over acting by Paul Dano.
Because on that side is an absolute 10.
And I’m not talking about Sandler’s acting. Because I think he made a multilayered performance and indeed portraited how this person may be feeling while living in the same place for such a long time, and far from the love of his life.
Not to mention how interesting is to see comedy actors transitioning to drama (even though he is been all in for a while).
Is popular knowledge that comedy actors simply know how to act when it comes to dramas.
And also, not talking about the cuteness of seeing Adam Sandler letting her daughters do cameos with him in movies.
Nepo baby vibes? I don’t think so.
Ok, I think it’s clear by now. I’m not specifically ”destroying” those parts of the movie.
But indeed wasn’t the most never-seen-before story.
While Carey Mulligan keeps smashing all the roles she gets.
I personally, didn’t develop any sort of ”empathy” for the character’s problems and conflicts.
Interestellar made that job for me.
I simply didn’t see any point on bringing this type of movies back!
And I hate making comparisons like this one, or between such detailed-oriented pieces of art as it is making a movie. But this time I’m making an exception simply because of the genre, style, type of story, and story goals.
Absolutely boring, repetitive and predictable.
What can I say?
I already mentioned this movie wasn’t unique at all and didn’t see the point on bringing this story to life.
And not happy with this fact. The main character experiences some kind of trance where it’s companion, an imaginary alien spider (Paul Dano). Replicates the regretful past of the astronaut, with the intention of providing mental health support, for abandoning the love of his life to accomplish the task of going to space for a mission to go to Jupiter.
Sadly, there’s such predictability within the entire movie, that losing focus is just the most accurate course of action as an spectator.
If the goal with this movie was to feel any sort of regret for our decisions in life. Then, deciding to watch this film is an absolute sorrow in itself.
Movie ratings do not define films
If there’s something where I could agree with this movie’s director Johan Renck.
Is that our lives are an entire contradiction and brings us the perfect space to have multiple opinions about the same things.
And over complicated ”things”.
Such as movies.
Also, at the same time, create a sense of regret for saying or doing certain things we no longer support.
I hope that made some kind of sense!
But my point is, deciding between watching this movie or not. Wouldn’t mean, that deciding to watch it after all, would mean a waste of time in any way.
Movie ratings are, in my opinion, just a vague overview over some group of people’s random opinions.
This movie in particular, is as predictable or as unusual as you yourself will perceive it based on your own life experiences.
I would simply recommend taking my humble and honest opinion as a guide.
And choose to watch it or not, based on whatever feels best for you!
Isn’t that deep after all, I complicate things!
Thank you for reading.
