Adam Sandler is one of Hollywood’s great paradoxes…he is best known for playing comic goofballs in movies such as billy madison and Happy Gilmorebut then he turns around and kills it in a fatally serious film, e.g. uncut gems. Considering he followed it up with a comedy that was almost unwatchable Hubie HalloweenIt’s official: We never know what we’re going to get from the great actor hiding inside the Joker’s body. With all this uncertainty, I was surprised to see Earnest Sandler come out astronauta bizarre sci-fi space adventure that you can watch on Netflix right now.

astronaut (Adapted from the novel by Jaroslav Kalfa bohemian astronaut) focuses on an astronaut heading into a long-duration space mission with some serious baggage. He fell out with his wife, who was understandably angry that he abandoned her and their unborn daughter for the stars. A new development occurs in this satirical reality drama: a spaceman discovers a spider-like telepathic alien who wants to know more about humanity. Their interactions help them learn more about themselves and the universe, but neither is fully prepared for where this voyage (literally and metaphorically) will take them.
adam sandler headlines astronaut As an astronaut, he brilliantly conveys the complex emotions of a man who is constantly driven forward, even as he is constantly haunted by what he has left behind. Co-stars include Carey Mulligan (who starred in ” a promising young woman and master) as an astronaut’s wife. Meanwhile, the alien stowaway with whom our protagonist has a telepathic link is voiced by Paul Dano, whose performance in The Riddler is something genre fans will rightly love. batman.
Audience reaction to Astronauts
at first, astronaut The film was originally scheduled to premiere in 2023, but the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) and AFTRA strikes delayed its release to 2024. scored a whopping 50%, with mostly critics complaining that the film presented a lot of interesting ideas but didn’t fully engage with them. Meanwhile, it received a popcorn score of 66%, with audiences generally agreeing that the film did a great job of bringing a crunchy and complex novel to the screen.
like the astronaut in the center astronautyou’re probably thinking about some disturbing questions right now, starting with why I’m suggesting you watch a movie that few people have seen and that critics weren’t interested in. The first reason is Adam Sandler’s performance: although this move is not nearly as good as uncut gemswhich is another powerful example (sort of like Heavy punch drunk love Before) How great this funny man becomes when he decides to become a serious actor. Additionally, his vast experience in comedic and dramatic roles helped him pitch a sad yet serious film in which his main costar is a talking spider alien.
In addition to the wonderful performances, astronaut Also worth a watch for its (ironically enough) very down-to-earth themes. Movie franchises like Star Wars make us idolize those who wish to leave Earth and explore the stars, but the adventures of Captain Kirk and Captain Picard rarely touch on the impact these interstellar journeys have on their families back home. Sandler’s character is compelling as he shares a dream of space exploration but must deal with how the pursuit of that dream affects the people he loves most.
final, astronaut It’s a brain-burning movie, but it’s definitely worth embarking on this strange journey across the universe. Will you love this movie as much as I do, or will you want to throw Sandler’s otherworldly film into the sun? You won’t know it until you watch it, and if you’re lucky, your perspective won’t be affected by whatever telepathic spider alien you have hiding under your couch.
