Critics Consensus

Spaceman's poignant themes are partly brought to life by sensitive performances from a talented cast, but it fails to consistently engage with its most interesting ideas.

Audience Says

Spaceman definitely isn't for everybody, but it does a decent job of adapting a slow, cerebral story that's easier to engage with in print.

Newsday

No matter how much Sandler makes the audience feel for Jakub, it can be hard to sustain an entire picture with nothing more than overarching sadness. And “Spaceman” never finds another register.

Rated: 2/4

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

It's a little too slow and a little too philosophical.

Spaceman is ultimately Sandler’s show but it’s one astronaut movie that ultimately seems very short on rocket fuel.

Rated: 2/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

Adam Sandler is the latest ‘lonely man in space thinking about things and getting sad’ in Johan Renck’s protracted and uninspiring Spaceman.

Rated: 2/5

Men's Journal

In a generation expected to do so much more with a whole lot less, Spaceman gently nudges us in the direction of holding onto the tangible and wills us to stop yearning for life to begin when days are already ticking by.

By the end, I didn’t question the logic of the narrative. But I felt genuinely moved, like something inside me had shifted without noticing. That alone is worth the trip.

Possibly my favorite movie of 2024. Adam Sandler is known for playing funnyman roles but he does a superb job of playing Jakub, the movie is deep and at times quite sad. Its not a thrill ride by any means and anyone who is going into this expecting to laugh or be happy won't find what theyre looking for. If your looking for something a bit different , or if you've read the book give this a watch. It's really very good

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I am a fan of Adam Sandler.. But it feels like a more Disjointed uninspired version of interstellar with slightly different mechanic. It is not a bad movie just not very good either.

I thought it was excellent. I love that they made him Czech vs American. It makes sense. This is not an action film or a comedy. It's deep and touching. Its pace is meant to reflect the experience he would have. If you invest in the story, you will see its utter brilliance. One of the best performances Adam Sandler has given. It's beautiful, weird, and worth it.

This is an amazing movie ! Completely out of the box if you already watched every movie in it ! A mix of Sci-fi , love story , fantasy , re-birth , psychology and healing . I absolutely love it . Watch it with an open mind . Adam Sandler deserved an OSCAR for this one ! It made me question every thing i do . Wow ! This is a Masterpiece ! If you don’t agree , watch it again and again until you really understand it . I feel sorry for those who think this movie has to fit inside the box they created in their minds . News for you ! It doesn’t !

One of adam sandlers best work, I loved the entire story and emotional aspect of it making you question your own loneliness and place in the world. Just wish there was a little more to the ending, we need more writing and directing like this.
