“skinny Human” I loved the spider it was really adorable and super wise felt like a divine therapist ❤😂

[@LillyB_RN]

I was kinda stressed watching this movie, only cause I couldn't imagine being that close to a giant spider the whole time... I almost died when he hugged it 😅💀😵‍💫

[@segniw9220]

I opened my Netflix just right now but decided to come here for review of the movie real quick and your comment really made me skip it now. Thanks

[@MeGustaWHAT]

I screeeeaaaamed when I was right about the spider's *ahem* issue. But was also wondering if this was about to go full spider and it had been weaving some mind web the entire time. Also if the *ahem* issue ruined an entire ancient species planet... how the heck would Jakob think it's safe to re-board a ship and go back to Earth?

[@Bamgeutcutiepie]

well i am just amazed a spider made me cry lol

[@cammoran8246]

real shit. i actually cried which i was surprised ab 😭

[@trapboy206]

Omg same

“How can you believe in marriage when there is divorce?” That’s like saying how can you believe in electricity when there are blackouts,

[@quincyrubin7451]

Blackouts don’t happen often

[@veganpeace7890]

I appreciate when Adam Sandler steps out of his comedy comfort zone.

[@hotcheetosgirl08]

“Comedy”

[@wanya_telborn]

@@hotcheetosgirl08😏😒🙄

[@wanya_telborn]

Absolutely could not agree more ❤❤❤❤❤

[@mizzourita3896]

The only one I couldn't do was Reign Over Me, it was a fantastic movie and worth a watch but God I cried so many times during that movie, especially when he was losing it and just singing the song, I had recently lost someone when I watched it though so that was probably not the best movie to watch at the time but he did an excellent job in that one

[@TechnicJunglist]

Punch Drunk Love is outstanding

[@OhVersus]

The people rating this movie low are the people watching it because theyre a Adam Sandler fan & expecting something different, watch it as a sci fi fan you will really appreciate it

[@dravenlasley6941]

HANUSH IS REAL AND HE NEEDS JUSTICE

[@jighoststar8943]

Once I got over looking at the giant spider, I quite enjoyed this. I would have liked more emotional range from Adam Sandler though.

[@Salander91]

Hey Nick and Joseph! Just watched the film last night and I knew what KZbin channel I needed to visit! Can't wait to get some of your merch!

[@TechnicJunglist]

Im very arachnophobic, so I'm glad you reviewed this. I still might have to watch it during the day and look slightly to the left 😅😨 Paul Dano's voice is 😊calming, so hopefully, I'll get over it for the story and acting. Moon is another space drama w Sam Rockwell that sounds a bit similar, which i loved. Thank you guys. 😊

[@Booksandchess]

I read the book this was based on, which includes another major storyline dealing with his father and grandfather that wasn’t really explored here. I think trying to focus strictly on the marital problems was a good call in theory, but I don’t think they managed to make their relationship believable. Instead, I cared much more for Hanush and Jakub’s relationship. Also this movie ends much different than the book. The scene where they are free floating in space plays out differently and is only the halfway point of the novel. Also the reason the Czech were leading the space race was because other countries didn’t want to risk human life to explore the cloud.

[@mizzourita3896]

A lot of people give Adam Sandler crap about not being funny, I'm not really that big into some of his newer stuff but his 90s stuff for me is where it's at but a lot of his post 90s stuff where he's serious actually hits home pretty good in my opinion, Click had me tearing up and nobody's going to convince me that he's not an amazing actor after watching Reign Over Me because that's one movie I'll never watch again but that has stayed with me for years. I'll never watch it again because of how sad it is, I think I cried through half of the movie and I'm not really a big "crier" during movies

[@Johannym]

It’s so weird when Happy Madison tries to be serious, I keep waiting for him to break into his silly voices lol but he never does!

[@niclasjohansson5992]

Holy smokes, for a second there I was sort of fooled that happy Madison produced this

[@commandZee]

I love how it's always a treat when Adam Sandler stretches his acting chops for another arthouse or indie film.

[@kimbess7498]

When this fool unlocked the hatch to go save the space spider with the space termites, they lost me. The words, “ this is stupid” exited my mouth. Now, about the emotional bits, this guy’s dad was killed by the government, he almost drowned, his girl miscarried. The whole I don’t know how to deal with this, so I’m going to space aspect is going to resonate with a lot of people who also don’t know how to deal. I see the vision and the execution. The storyline is just a little too much on the ridiculous side for me to fully appreciate the film. I suspect the book is better than the movie.

[@DaComrade]

Is it just me, or does Adam Sander do the worst god damn Czech accent you've ever heard in your life?

[@darthlaurel]

Growing and changing and becoming different people is a part of a long term relationship. If you make it about you and not about us, then you will lose all that you invested.

[@heatherinsocal]

I had to look up the actors too because I was like, "How is Anne Heche in this movie?" Crazy resemblance.

[@bryan-twistgilmore6473]

Spoilers: (sort of).. the movie was so good. But the landing was blah… I was expecting because the wife was pregnant, and they kept calling this space dust the beginning, I thought that he was going to die in space, and be born again. Which would have made this movie interstellar type epic !but I really did love this movie all the way up till the last 3 minutes. But it still was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a while

[@xpf15]

Yeah, i felt the exact same way. the ending was so anti-climatic, especially with a Hanus calling the dust “the beginning , the end and everything” you’d think floating through it jakub would experience something more intense than just his body stretching lol.

[@TedlinksChannel]

Anne Heche sadly died in a wild car accident in 2022....so that definitely wasn't her.

[@growingheart8039]

Thank all that is great for a FishJelly sandwich!❤

[@macebluemoon369]

Happy Leap Day to you Joseph and Nick. It is fun to watch new reviews from you guys on this unique day. Also the spider alien getting eaten up by maggots is ironic. Since maggots turn into flies. BIZARRE!

[@tomdyas194]

Masterpiece!! I think you have to be in the right mind to feel the film hit properly I mean out of relationship or dealing with similar situations

[@omarshakhwar3595]

Am I crazy or didn't they say they lost their first baby and he went on this mission instead of staying for this pregnancy?

[@puspavelai8353]

From Joseph, the "spider/tarantula/Alien" speaks "Oh yeah, I'm from wherever..." which, is pretty human friendly! The 'multiple vision' verses tunnel vision, is what the Jupiter's 'side-effects' are most probably, caused by loneliness - like "bug bomb will not help! Interesting, it's a 'compelling' enough story you think for a good rating!

[@ACF1972JHB]

What a pity they adapted Jaroslav Kalfar’s 2017 novel so seemingly inadequately. 😢

[@GhEtToBaRbIe45888]

This is Jake Gyllenhaal movie Enemy but in space... Even has a giant spider

[@wanya_telborn]

Now this is just me my opinion It’s like he was having a mental break because he was in isolation in space for so long and then his pregnant partner breaks up with him so he creates this spider to help him through his loneliness and grief while in space

[@mikekaraoke]

Ummmm Hanus is not an hallucination-he is real + also confirmed in the book! One thing that did annoy me they didn't put in from the book was (another character late in the book sees: Hanus too).

[@godofentity]

@@mikekaraoke I believe that the movie specifically leaves it to interpretation. He's real to Spaceman, because Spaceman needs Hanus to be real. But it's up to us to decipher if it's real or not. I believe that it's intentionally meant to be difficult to know for sure.

[@mikekaraoke]

@@godofentity It is the same as in the novel if he is going mad or not! + turns out he isn't going mad-they left out a couple of things in the novel from the film as wasn't enough time to do them!

[@Kevin61733]

I think the only way to enjoy the movie is to have a similar mindset. I really enjoyed the movie and really makes you think about life and the ending imo is great and open ended about the whole thing which those are the endings I personally like.

[@olacfz]

Isn't this basically the plot of the book Project Hail Mary?

[@BookMaven9]

Only in so far as there is a human and alien on a ship.

[@krissutton5464]

I read this book and the spider is very real in that (another character late in the book sees it too). Surprising they changed that part. The whole ending is way different in this film and not as good imo.

[@mikekaraoke]

Exactly-the book is one of my favs!

[@MeGustaWHAT]

I am so glad you mentioned Jakub not introducing himself - that bothered me so much. Perhaps he assumed as Hanus' tribe doesn't adopt names that it would not bother him if Jakub remained unnamed. It was also quite bothersome how little Jakub asked about Hanus. Like, initially their interactions made sense but what human could resist asking questions of an obviously intellectually superior and ancient being? It feels like the movie was left wiiiiiiiide open at the end. How is it safe for Jakub to return to the SK ship and then to Earth if he spent an immense amount of time with a contaminated alien who had watched its own planet fall to the destruction it was carrying itself? What of Chopra? How many years is Jakub going to spend in prison for sending an insanely expensive spacehip unmanned into the void? It feels like it shouldn't have a second movie but was set up for a second movie.

[@Iamyouall00]

I thought the movie achieved its purpose really well, a alien spider that didn't want to harm him was crazy feelings throughout the movie but really good movie took me through a Rollercoaster of emotion and my own fears and feelings!

[@bryanusrey3119]

This is one of the best films I have ever seen, I was getting Space Odyssey vibes. This film was about loneliness and him finding himself where he went wrong in life and the end he was trying to end himself but got saved.

[@henryardoin8513]

From what you guys described the film sounds to be very one dementional and superficial, but seems to have an emotional element which I'm down with, so I will give it a go"! Have a fantastic March fellas!🤩💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨💜✨👍👌💯

[@shelleymharper]

Reminds me of the book Project Hail Mary

Very emotional movie 😢

[@clowd9931]

Yea I thought that was Ann Heche too

[@nilesengerman8263]

I was expecting a more cryptic ending like Solaris.

[@jy_hawk]

Solaris is way better than this b movie

[@Music.Movies.67]

What a waste of Space this Spaceman movie is. Very dreary movie, so they decided to try make it more interesting by having a spaceman have Hallucinations of a Giant spider, that annoyingly kept calling him Skinny Human, Skinny Human, throughout the movie.

[@mikekaraoke]

Ummmm Hanus is not an hallucination-he is real + also confirmed in the book!

[@michaelsandle2152]

​@@mikekaraokemovie was very bad...waste of time

[@Music.Movies.67]

​@@mikekaraoke😂 be serious giant spiders are not real Even in the movie when the control centre looked at the space ship cameras before he went out after imaginary spider, control said what are you doing we can see nothing, so proves it was all in his mind

[@mikekaraoke]

@@Music.Movies.67 Giant spiders not real, do me a favour one example:-AUSTRALIA 😂 In the novel it is confirmed he is real, and another character also see him- also by that time of the spaceship camera Hanus had already gone!

[@mikekaraoke]

@@michaelsandle2152 In your opinion, I totally disagree with you!

[@dontlookforme1999]

I also thought that was Anne hatch RIP

[@WavStudioz]

This film is a knockoff of Interstellar. I got second hand embarrisment from Adam Sandler's acting in this film.

[@DavyFlannagain]

I fast forwarded through almost all of the flash backs and the the wife parts. I got the gist of it. If just watching the ship stuff I actually liked the movie.

It would have safer and cheaper to send a probe. A single man mission would be doomed to fail. Very boring silly movie. Netflix can't get space movies right.

Where is the Dune 2 review 😂

[@s.hopkins4490]

Lovely Joseph in a grown up shirt 😂❤❤❤❤❤

[@ibarf24]

OMG SHE DECIDES TO DUMP HIM DURING THIS WORLD ENDING LIFE OR DEATH MISSION!? I really hope 🙏 I'm not understanding this part correctly, because it would definitely just piss me off to the point of SKIP every scene involving her (which sounds like a big part). IDC what he did, but unless he like "burned alive a family of puppies with their mother 😢😢" she is a horrible person for CHOOSING to do this no, it's such unimaginative tension... even the biggest POS people I know would do something like that, I just couldn't sympathize with that character. 🤢

[@chadmendiola9833]

I felt the same at the first parts of the movie. As the movie goes on you begin to understand why she decided to dump him and her choice was well waranted.

[@mickalanelson8485]

Just watched this one last night…eh 😏

[@audreyquinn73]

Adam Sandler seems an odd choice as the Czech protagonist. Might catch it on streaming. Love your reviews! ❤

[@leftyla]

I’d watch this but, you know… Adam Sandler. Pass.

But you forget it’s him. At times he doesn’t even look like himself. So calming and comforting film

Was anyone else hoping this was gonna be a good sci fy thriller instead of a boring sappy love story?

[@millsykooksy4863]

I thought it was boring...

[@Muzzlepaint]

It was a weak Sci Fi rip-off of Solaris

[@wojtczak1984]

This movie is just pretentious. An exploration of a failed marriage. That is not done well. So it adds sci fi and space madness element's. Also not done very well. Yes. If it were presented as plausable that the alien was real would be better. If the aliean had other motives. And if the exploration of the marrage were done better. i.e. more context, more development. Just feels like they tried to cram too much into one film. The whole Check Republic "soviet" space race was interesting but ultimately a distraction and was also just tacked on with no reason for being other than to tack on being interesting. Hense pretentious.

[@-MightyMouse-]

Movie sucked, loved Adam Sandler.

[@michaelsandle2152]
