Lost in Space: A Review of "Spaceman"

🌕🌕🌗🌑🌑 2.5/5

        In Netflix's "Spaceman," Adam Sandler and Carey Mulligan find themselves adrift in a cosmic misfire that leaves audiences scratching their heads. The film, directed by Johan Renck and based on Jaroslav Kalfar's novel "Spaceman of Bohemia," boasts a stellar cast and promising premise but ultimately fails to launch.

        Sandler stars as Jakub, a lone astronaut grappling with existential angst aboard his spacecraft. His only companion? A giant, philosophical space spider voiced by Paul Dano. While the absurdity of this setup should lend itself to comedic gold, "Spaceman" veers into somber territory as Jakub reflects on his troubled marriage to Lenka (Mulligan) back on Earth.

        The film attempts to weave together elements of sci-fi classics like "Solaris," "Gravity," and "Interstellar," but falls short of delivering laughs or profound insights. Instead, it meanders through Jakub's introspections and political subplots without ever finding its footing.

        Despite its potential, "Spaceman" squanders its talented cast and intriguing premise on a convoluted narrative that fails to resonate. While moments of levity arise from the absurdity of Jakub's interactions with his arachnid therapist, they are overshadowed by the film's maudlin tone and lack of cohesive storytelling.

        Ultimately, "Spaceman" feels like a missed opportunity to explore themes of isolation, identity, and redemption in the vastness of space. As the credits roll, viewers are left wondering what went wrong with this cosmic misfire of a film.
