Don't go in expecting an actual sci-fi. Yes, most of the film is set in space. Yes, there are fantastical elements (even space creatures), but this is mostly an introspective relationship drama. Think Sol(y)aris, but a bit goofier. It's an odd combo and doesn't quite work the way it should, but it's still pleasantly different. Sandler puts in a good performance, the Max Richter score is a clear asset and the finale is quite attractive. I'm not too sure about Dano's part (the creature design could've used some work) and the relationship drama didn't grip me as much as it should, but I still had a good time figuring out what the hell this film was trying to do. Not bad. Read all
