Spaceman

Been wanting to watch this since the first teaser trailer got out some months ago!

Adam Sandler in a psychological drama sci fy sounded very interesting. As its not really those films he's usually in. And he makes it even better then i think he would do.

I've always liked these "wierd", artsy, space themed, deep and psychological films focusing on our mind, our perception of our reality, the meaning of life and on the fear of the unknown.

A very well put together film, with a really really good and beautiful soundtrack aswell. Filming is also very well made!

Excellent manuscript!

A really unique and beautiful sci fy! A very clever film! That i totally recommend! Pure art! A special and poetic space adventure that explores ourselves and the unknown.

We are all like a blink of an eye, very transient, yet our emotions are rare. This movie is a psychological thriller in which a man fights with his own guilt and how he overcomes it. However, the audience may have a hard time resonating with the title of the movie, "SPACEMAN". This movie fails to create the tension of a space travel movie and is heavy on dialogue. It may not cater to the whole mass, but it is a movie for those who have a hard time letting go of their thoughts, fears, or not addressing their emotions. Anyway, I am happy that I watched this movie and hope to rewatch it soon. Hazelnut.

This is not a film for fans of Adam Sandler movies. I have seen every Sci-fi movie of note. This isn't really a science fiction movie, it just happens to take place in outer space. It seems cliche to say a film is dreamlike but there is no other way to describe Spaceman. Imagine watching an entire movie through a Kaleidoscope. Not just through the lens of said scope, but also the lens of childlike wonder.

This is a heavy film that asks a lot of the audience. Anyone who sticks with it the whole way will be rewarded with a nice story of friendship and hope. Spaceman drags at points, can feel a bit claustrophobic and is honestly hard to wrap your head around. All in all good job by everyone involved. Again at least semi-pro movie fans only. Operaman-O Bye Bye!

Let's be honest, the theme of Spaceman has been done at least once before -- Steven Soderbergh's "Solaris" comes to mind. The macro-microcosm, the struggle of the masculine "outer" vs. Feminine "inner" or however you want to label it -- it's not new on film.

However, in the opinion of this reviewer, a lover of slow-burn cinema, transcendental and timeless themes of space, the Universe and our place in it, this movie has still managed to offer something original and breathe some soul into the otherwise rehashed theme.

Sandler pulls off the role easily and I found the set and the setting of the movie refreshing (I won't spoil it), let me just say... Chechoslovakia?

I don't _really_ understand people who say they love science fiction but who complain this was too slow, too stupid, too predictable and too... unrealistic (not suspending their disbelief). Science fiction is a very broad brush, and we haven't actually colonized even anything in the solar system, so let's dial back the arguing on what is feasible and possible and what is ridiculous.

The important thing this movie did for me is keep me thinking and feeling about the human condition, which is the holy grail of sci-fi in a way -- to get the reader or the viewer reach into the mysterious inner world through outer allegories, which often are about outer space or the extraterrestrial etc.

The fact this movie burns rather slowly is actually what did much of the trick for me. I am very tired of movies that think they have to have something happening all the time. The irony is that while things are happening, not much can be happening, if you know what I mean? And correspondingly when things slow down, through being affected by the \[slowly\] moving image, some kind of reaction between what I am thinking and what I am seeing, produces interesting form of entertainment for me.

Give "Spaceman" a chance, and it may reward you, depending on your mood and predisposition to slow cinema and a bit of the unexpected, if not entirely original.

I loved this movie, which I know by the simple fact that a day after I am still thinking about it and some feeling remains. This is more than I can say about a lot of other supposedly great stuff I watched and have all but forgotten about.

And then there is Hanusz... but Hanusz will introduce themselves.

Anticipating the release of 'Spaceman' with high hopes, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the film exceeded my expectations. It delves into the profound theme of loneliness and the lengths one must traverse to truly understand solitude. Through the lens of trauma, the film showcases the shattering effect it can have on an individual, compelling them to flee from confronting their own reality. The protagonist's journey is accompanied by the enigmatic presence of an alien spider, a tangible entity rather than a mere figment of imagination as some might assume. In the book, this spider is portrayed as undeniably real. The evolving relationship between the protagonist and the spider serves as a catalyst, propelling them both towards a transformative journey, not towards an end, but rather a new beginning.
