TL;DR Summary

"Spaceman," a Netflix drama starring Adam Sandler, fails to effectively convey its themes of loneliness and alienation, despite its visually arresting outer space setting and philosophical source material. The film's portrayal of a lonely astronaut's emotional turmoil and his interactions with a giant spider alien lacks tonal cohesion and falls short in balancing sentimentality with cerebral exploration. While the CGI spider character serves as a narrative device, the film struggles to fully engage with its themes, resulting in a lackluster execution that fails to resonate with its audience.
