Nevaeh W I walked in knowing nothing about the movie, ready to be wildly unimpressed with Adam Sandler in this movie. I also expected it to be horror. The presence of a spider puts the viewer on edge, ready until the last moment for it to turn gorey. I liked this movie lot, I watched it stoned and had a blast giggling at all the spider's lines. Such a politely dude. Overall impressed, I liked it a lot. It was good enough for me to completely disregard the spotty Russian accent happening throughout. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/12/25 Full Review Audience Member The movie was fine, but you almost get the feeling that it could have been soo much better. Like it pulled some of its punches. I still had a fine time watching it, and surprisingly Sandler was decently somber and it made for a pretty believable protagonist. He could be so much more than just the loud mouth guy in movies. 3.5/5 stars. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/04/25 Full Review Lumi S Deep Water, or Water Boy? Sandler gave this role an isolated intensity reminiscent of Ben Affleck in the aptly named Deep Water, combining this seamlessly with a soft vulnerability reminiscent of...Adam Sandler...in....Water...Boy? It's this excellent casting choice that allows me to feel both his intense loneliness/ childlike joy as he embraces Hanus in the sparkly primordial space soup. How much do I need to hammer it home? Just change the film's name to Deep Water Water Boy. It literally cuts to his untethered space umbilical cord....hell, maybe we are all deep water water boys. As I lay in bed after watching this I felt as if my own WFH home had recently become its own isolated spaceship. Watching the dark figures of the coats on my door as I drifted into sleep, I thought: "Hanus, is that you?" The Hanus coats replied “Da f*k u doing? All this work? What happen to love, skinny human? What happen to love?” "Ending was too ambiguous”, my ass. Was Hanus real? Br0, was this film even a film, or was it the spider on 3I/ATLAS intercepting our thoughts, trying to teach us something? My point is this: Deepwaterwaterboy's love is more real than the universe itself, and I have been thoroughly schooled. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/03/25 Full Review John C From the moment I saw Sandler give an outstanding performance in Reign Over Me in 2007, I knew he would continue to be a great actor in more serious movies. Similar to what Robin Williams and Jim Carrey tried to do throughout their entire careers, successfully or not (I say more often than not). I have been an avid fan of high-brow science fiction for my entire life. It is exclusively what I read, and exclusively what I am most critical of in TV and film. I really like this movie. I think is a very close vision of the book that does well to tell both the story and the emotions that Jakub is facing. The ambiguity of some interactions between Jakub and Hanus, and the drawn out sequences, are there for a reason; and those reasons are not to bore you, but for you to take in what is really happening here and simply observe the beauty of the cinematography. Science fiction has never been about entertaining the reader. It has, and always will be, one of purest methods by which we explore the depths of humanity's connection to the universe; both externally and internally. If you like movies like 2001, Solaris, and Ad Astra, you should like this too. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/29/25 Full Review Charlie P Spaceman is a slow burn, yet stunning film with an impeccable cast, stunning cinematography and an immense score that dicatates far more of the film than most realize. Max Richter is the first note that I must make on this film as I believe that the score is at the core of this film. The emotion that he brings in his simplicity, directly corresponds to the same exact simplistic emotion that Adam Sandlar embodies in this uncharacteristic role. As the score progresses, the film progresses, not the other way around. To close ones eyes and listen, or to shut ones ears and only watch-- both would be as impactful and stunning in their own right. A film that can fulfill stunning visual beauty in tandem with a stunning acompaning score cannot be over looked. Spaceman will break your heart wide open if you are open to that fracture. A love that is rare, unproductive, but warm has always been difficult to portray, but Spaceman is able to make this theme flourish. Without seeing the two that are in love interact, you see a bond that is so strong that it transcend the distance of space and time. This is a film that will make you fall back in love with being in love. Whether you like it or hate it, the film makes you feel, the visuals make you wonder, and the score makes you cry. What else could a film offer? Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Howard P Easily one of my top 10 movies. Love is something that transcends time and space, just as Interstellar taught us Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/17/25 Full Review Read all reviews
