Every now and then actors that are known for one genre step out of that genre and do something more series and/or different than what everyone knows them for. Sandler does this pretty frequently, he’s known for being a hilarious comedian with a huge following, but when he decides to get series he goes all in with movies like Uncut Gems, Punch Drunk Love, or Reign Over Me. “Spaceman” isn’t as heavy as those other films, but it comes dang close to it but does it in a way that could be equal parts horror or comedy science fiction, but instead reaches a point of self reflection that many films never attempt. It works for the most part, I have some minor quibbles about some of the story elements, but the end product is a great thought experiment on an ironically human level.
