Adam Sandlers career renaissance has been one ofNetflixs biggest success stories.
But Jakubs mission is a selfish one.
Spaceman is anything but a lite version of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar.
Mulligans performance is laced with the expected gravitas weve come to expect from similar roles shes tackled.
AsSpacemans lead, however, its Sandler whose performance the film rests on.
Danos portrayal of Hanus is similarly understated and reserved, although its not without a semblance of creepiness.
Sandler stars as Jakub, a Czech astronaut who encounters a giant, alien spider.
Spacemandoesnt do right by its primary supporting cast, either.
My biggest gripe, though, is thatSpacemanis just dull.
That simply wasnt the case withSpaceman, whose characters failed to resonate with me.
Jakub and Lenka’s marriage is on the brink.
My verdict
Like its protagonist,Spacemanis a pretty weightless experience that finds itself lost in space.
Spaceman arrives on Netflix on Friday, March 1.
Hanuš is an initially unsettling presence.
Kunal Nayyar is one ofSpaceman’s main supporting cast members who isn’t utilized fully.
Spacemanisn’t a particularly entertaining or emotionally moving flick.
