If you take a space opera as Interstellar, add the values and tender humor of a buddy film with a Pixar-like approach and a you infuse it with a litle Spielberg’s ’80s innocence, you get this marvel. Visually distinctive, colorful, hopeful, and featuring an excellent sometimes funny sometimes dramatic Ryan Gosling.
Entertaining cinema, the kind of sci-fi I had been missing — aesthetically beautiful, with character development and a fresh, interesting premise.
I understand that certain choices regarding its humorous tone might put off those expecting a film more in the style of 2001: A Space Odyssey, but if you come to it without prejudice, you’ll probably leave feeling moved.
