3.5/5
Because of Gosling’s dexterity as a dancer, not only do these ships twirl and whirl in space, but frequently, so does Grace. Go to Full Review

3.5/5
At 2½ hours plus, it also has its longueurs but there are some spectacularly beautiful moments and Gosling makes an engaging companion who makes something poignant as well as funny out of Grace’s unwelcome elevation to hero status. Go to Full Review

3/4
The "boy and his dog" plotline has been reconfigured as a "man and his alien" storyline in this crowd-pleaser suitable for almost the entire family. Go to Full Review

Sherrill 2h Ryan Gosing is so charming and likable you can’t help but be drawn into the movie: not the best space movie I,ve ever see, but worth a watch. Similar to The Martain in vibe See more Karl 1d Brilliant and heartfelt movie, hard to do both for a sci-fi flick, but the writers, directors, and actors pulled it off. I since read Andy Weir’s book, which was chock full of science if you felt like the movie glossed over it. See more Trace 1d Heartfelt, exciting, funny, definitely in my top 10 now! See more David 3d solid story, dragged slightly towards the end See more KadyM Aug 8 Amaze. Amaze. Amaze. Two thumbs down baby. One of my all time favorites. Gosling is perfection but Rocky steals the show. I’ve already watched it more times than I can remember and quote it all the time. It’s a must watch. See more Lexie B Aug 5 You’ll get absolutely caught up in this story of two unlikely friends See more Read all reviews
