Quick hits

  • One part, a love story
  • One part, a creepy sci-fi flick
  • Outer space meets inner space

Spaceman is a slow drip of anticipation that never quite comes.

But I guess that is the beauty of this movie. Was Hanush real? Was Jakub (Adam Sandler) trippin balls? Was it all in his mind/conscience? All of which are valid questions at the end of this one. Spaceman is a weird, artsy, thought-provoking, and drawn-out journey into the human psyche. One would be better served to watch this film while off a lil of the ol’ devil’s lettuce. Not that I am advocating for drug use, but this movie is weird. Almost like it should be watched through a kaleidoscope or some other reality-bending lens. Because whoever thought up Hanush (voiced by Paul Dano which made the character even creepier) needs to have their head looked at. Hanush is downright creepy. A big ass spider with several human-ish eyes, two octopus-like arms, and fleshy mandibles surrounding a mouth that moves as we people’s mouths do. If that description alone does not make you wanna see it. Mannnnn.

The Hood gives this trippy sci-fi, love story 4.5 EBTs. Yeah yeah I know I know I said it was drawn out. But that moody, creepy feeling helps push the anticipation levels to a point where the time just kinda slips by. I’m telling y’all it is still a good flick.
