Spaceman was a disappointing movie. It had so much potential, but there were just too many mistakes in the way it was written. It is pretty much about a man named Jakub, who is on a spaceship and realizes he is a terrible husband and he decides to improve thanks to a magic telepathic spider. Adam Sandler does pretty well, but I am too used to seeing him in comedies for it to really work for me. The movie itself is both an adventure, and a romance, and it doesn't decide which it is. The movie was way too slow to me. Sometimes a movie or tv show could take place in one or very few different settings, and I do sometimes like that structure. There was not enough going on in the ship other than the spider talking to entertain me for almost 2 hours. It should be a 45 minute long movie. There was some good contemplation and self reflection, which I liked, but I wished it focused more on the adventure to space and not the wife drama. Interstellar did it well as the protagonist fought internally with being a good father, and completing a mission in space. This movie was a terrible attempt at the same sort of idea. The spider was pretty cool to look at, and the space CGI was dope. It felt like they spent more time designing the ship and aesthetic and perfecting the CGI than they did figuring out what the movie was even focusing on concept wise. I would give it a 5.9/10 for being boring, not having a clear genre, and being too long.
