Spaceman has an interesting premise—lonely astronaut, giant alien spider, marriage on the rocks—but it squanders it with glacial pacing and endless introspection. The ratings tell the story: 50% on Rotten Tomatoes, 5.7 on IMDb, 3/5 on Letterboxd. Most viewers find it boring.

The emotional content is heavy and sad—this is not a fun space adventure. It's a slow meditation on regret and isolation that never quite lands. Adam Sandler is trying, but the script gives him little to work with beyond mopey monologues.

For families, this is a hard pass unless you have a patient, introspective teen who loves slow sci-fi. Even then, there are better options. It's not unsafe or inappropriate, just tedious and depressing. Skip it unless you're really curious about Sandler's dramatic work or you're a completist for space movies.
