'Spaceman' is a 2024 movie, a story of an astronaut called Jakub, who is also played by Adam Sandler, and was directed by a regular collaborator of Adam Sandler. Written by Jaroslav Kalfař, the novel from which the movie is based is named ‘Spaceman of Bohemia’, and the movie is directed by Johan Renck.

But as Jakub tells the story, it’s of a mystical man’s personal research mission to the very edge of the solar system and the reversal of one’s personal life going up in flames, only to return to Earth to find one’s own marriage in trouble. However, the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike caused the film to be delayed by a year and it was released on March 1, 2024.

Spaceman Movie Explained

In Spaceman, isolation, personal development and the absurdities of human relationships, which are by nature, fragile, are told and recounted. Jakub starts to remember his life on earth as six months into his mission. His marriage to Lenka — Carey Mulligan — is standing by a complete break and is doing its best to rebuild.

At this point, Jakub stumbles upon Paul Dano's mysterious creature, called Hanuš, hiding on the bowels of his ship. As being an early companion to Jakub, the Hanuš is an unlikely one, for it is no later than the beginning of time, and helps Jakub muster with his emotional and existential crises.

Part science fiction, part deeply personal and cosmic emotional journey, the film’s narrative is also partly science fiction. All of this also challenges the nature of human connection and how many years of isolation affects the human mind. The score by Max Richter for the film was a perfect complement, giving it a bit of depth to the atmospheric and to the emotional feel.

Spaceman Movie Reviews

The critics are sharply divided on the film ‘Spaceman.’ The film’s site rating has an aggregate rating of 50% on 135 reviews that have given it an average score of 5.5 out of 10. This most intriguing concept is only partly pitted by sensitive performances by a smart cast, but does not always grab Spaceman with its most interesting premise. Along with the second rating, Light From Light holds a score of 55 out of 100 based on 35 reviews at Metacritic, where the website describes the critical response as: 'mixed or average'.

Although the movie is not that great, some critics thought about the performances and the theme of this movie. RogerEbert.com’s Robert Daniels described it as “I just love Sandler in this register.” With such arbitrary qualities, A.O. Scott's New York Times review was pleased with the film, and hoped for it to be a ‘genre experiment,’ in which Sandler’s dramatic piece, as well as that year Oscar nominee for best actress Carey Mulligan, were appreciated.

Spaceman Movie on Netflix

It should be available to stream on Netflix, which is something that most people can access. The film has finally had the ability to show up on the platform, the place that the film might have not reached out to a lot of viewers otherwise in the theaters. Secondly, the fact that this is an open debate to discussion across the same Netflix subscription paradigm keeps the movie relevant to current times.

Spaceman Movie Hindi Dubbed

The dubbed version of ‘Spaceman’, also available on Netflix for viewers in India and other places where the Indian language is spoken, is also called ‘Spaceman.’ Because of this opening up of the film to a larger audience, more people can see Jakub’s story and the film’s becoming engaged with weighty themes.

Is It Good?

But it is ultimately a matter of opinion, is ‘Spaceman’ good or not, and it depends on a viewer. It is a unique, and in particular a thought-provoking, film for those who like films, a film of science fiction and other kinds of deep emotional themes. Other standouts of the narrative are Adam Sandler, Carey Mulligan, and Paul Dano.

However, the film seems to have left most of its critics somewhat divided. For not everyone, it’s slow-paced or confusing no matter the combination of human connection and the dimension of space.

As for that, 'Spaceman' is a movie that strives to address more complex themes and feelings to that movie’s audience. On the level of whether it’s good or not it’s directly subjective, but if it’ll stick with you, it’s definitely a movie you need to stare at a few times. The movie "Spaceman" is a must-watch on Netflix for the followers of Adam Sandler’s dramatic roles or a thought-provoking science fiction film.
