Now I want to hug a spider...
EEng7ladeSeptember 2, 2024
This movie is about an astronaut on a long mission in space who gets bad news about his family. He's dealing with being alone, feeling stressed out, and even seeing things that might not be real. But whether those things are explained to be just in his head or if they're really out there, it's all cliche. The biggest problem is that the movie moves really slowly, and with a predictable story and a slow pace, staying interested in what's happening on screen is hard.

"Spaceman" really draws people in with its peaceful, lonely vibe. It does a great job of showing the environment, the characters, and the atmosphere in a really detailed and subtle way. Some people might find it boring or not very emotional, but watching this movie could be just the thing for those who want to chill out and relax on a peaceful night.

This soft sci-fi movie falls short despite the cool space scenes. The way they convey emotions in the film just doesn't capture the loneliness as expected. The movie wants to get people thinking about family and themselves through the loneliness of the character Jakub in space, but the pacing is all off. First, those weird spider hallucinations don't seem to serve much purpose, and I couldn't grasp Jakub's connection to that. I'd give it a 4 out of 10, considering the cool nebula and scenes, but the plot has some serious flaws.

If you approach it like a sci-fi flick, you're bound to be let down because it's really more of an artsy film. The theme of "exploration" is repeated in this movie, showing that sometimes the truth isn't a big deal, and the finale isn't everything. What really counts is the adventure of exploration, the ups and downs, the highs and lows, the hope and the letdowns, the thrill and the jitters. Like they say, the "beginning" doesn't signal the end.

5/10. The director tried to nail that deep sense of isolation, but his attempt at weaving in themes of "self-awareness" and "turning over a new leaf" within the grand story really falls flat in romance. And sadly, it doesn't hit the mark with audiences anymore. As a result, the film gets lost in trivial grievances and self-absorption. I bet "Ad Astra" and "First Man" handle that aspect much better than this film.

I was in tears watching this! Directed by Johan Renck, this sci-fi film, based on Jaroslav Kalfar’s novel "Spaceman of Bohemia," blends the styles of Lem and Ted Chiang, weaving together humor, sensitivity, loneliness, romance, emotion, and philosophy. It even tips its hat to some classic sci-fi flicks. And with the haunting tunes of Max Richter, it perfectly captures the lonely, mesmerizing, and deeply emotional vibe of space's vastness.

Mira, si buscas una odisea espacial llena de explosiones y láseres, mejor sigue de largo. El Astronauta (Spaceman) es, en realidad, una sesión de terapia de dos horas envuelta en papel de aluminio y flotando en el vacío más absoluto.
​Aquí te cuento qué me pareció, de humano a humano:
​La soledad tiene ocho patas
​La película nos presenta a un Adam Sandler que se olvida por completo de los chistes. Interpreta a Jakub, un tipo que ha huido hasta los confines del sistema solar para escapar de... bueno, de sí mismo y de su matrimonio roto con Lenka (Carey Mulligan).
​Lo más loco —y lo que más me llegó— es que su único confidente termina siendo Hanuš, una araña alienígena gigante que bien podría ser una alucinación o un semidiós milenario. La voz de Paul Dano le da una ternura inquietante que te hace olvidar que, técnicamente, debería darte asco.
​Lo que duele (y lo que brilla)
​La atmósfera: Es claustrofóbica. Sientes el olor a metal rancio y la humedad de la nave. La fotografía es sucia, real, muy alejada de la pulcritud de Star Trek.
​El ritmo: Seamos honestos, es lenta. A veces camina a paso de tortuga espacial. Si no estás de humor para reflexionar sobre tus propios errores de vida, puede que te desesperes un poco.
​El mensaje: Es un recordatorio brutal de que puedes viajar millones de kilómetros, pero tus traumas siempre van de polizones en la maleta.
​Veredicto final
​Es una película rara, triste y extrañamente reconfortante. No es perfecta, y a veces se pone demasiado "metafísica", pero la actuación de Sandler te rompe el corazón porque ves a un hombre que finalmente entiende que el universo es demasiado grande para estar solo, pero demasiado pequeño para esconderse.
​Evaluación:
💫 💫 💫 💫 (4 de 5 estrellas)
​Nota para el alma: Si alguna vez te has sentido solo en una habitación llena de gente, esta película te va a hablar directamente al oído. Solo prepárate para querer abrazar a alguien (o a una araña) al terminar.

Amo que el título sea como Lenka le decía. Una película de introspección de la importancia del reconocimiento y la autoreflexion hace que configurar la identidad sea algo que nunca termina.

Mais conhecido como o filme que serviu ASMR do Paul Dano, brincadeiras a parte, fiquei interessada pelo livro, a premissa apesar de batida é interessante e esse parece mais um caso de: "Netflix não soube executar direito". Aquele desserviço que eles costumam e teimam em seguir fazendo. Até uma Isabella Rossellini eles fizeram questão de desperdiçar.

Siempre he creído que Adam Sandler debió dedicarse más a hacer drama, es un gran actor, me gustó mucho su trabajo en esta cinta. Esta película tiene un carga psicológica y filosófica increíble. Visualmente es impactante, el final es brutal.

Esse filme é sobre um astronauta em uma longa missão no espaço que recebe más notícias sobre a família. Ele está lidando com a solidão, se sentindo estressado e até mesmo vendo coisas que podem não ser reais. Mas se essas coisas são explicadas como ilusão ou realidade, é tudo clichê. O maior problema é que o filme se move muito lentamente, e com uma história previsível e um ritmo lento, manter o interesse no que está acontecendo na tela é difícil.
