Why watch this film?
During a long and extended exploration mission at the edges of the solar system, astronaut Jakub (Adam Sandler) discovers that his wife, Lenka (Carey Mulligan), may not be waiting for his return to Earth anymore. Plunged into despair, Jakub is aided by a mysterious creature hiding in his spacecraft, helping him uncover what went wrong. Spaceman is one of those allegorical science fiction films with a deeply melancholic atmosphere, akin to James Gray's Ad Astra or even Andrei Tarkovsky's Solaris. However, the comparison ends there: this film by director Johan Renck (Chernobyl) is neither as original (made worse by taking itself too seriously) nor as successful in its execution. Nevertheless, the cast is incredible: Isabella Rossellini also stars, and Paul Dano lends his voice to the creature on the spaceship. Additionally, Sandler delivers one of his rare but impactful dramatic performances, previously seen in films like Uncut Gems and Punch-Drunk Love.

The only possibility of stopping her is an elite group of urban police called Judges, who combine the duties of judge, jury and executioner to deliver a brutal brand of swift justice. But even the top-ranking Judge, Dredd, discovers that taking down Ma-Ma isn’t as easy as it seems in this explosive adaptation of the hugely popular comic series.
Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver
It was said about the first installment, and it can be said about Netflix's Rebel Moon (Part Two): it is a movie that only Zack Snyder fans will enjoy. The film continues to be a copy of the classic 'Seven Samurai', but in space: our heroes, led by Kora (Sofia Boutella), return to their small agricultural moon to prepare the defense against the invaders from the Empire. The story unfolds in a predictable manner (even more so if you've seen Kurosawa's classic), with Snyder's usual stylistic vices: overuse of slow motion and gratuitous Christian symbolism. If you liked the previous one (or the director's other movies), you will undoubtedly enjoy it. Otherwise, it might be better to skip it.
