The Spaceman (2017) is an interesting take on the sci-fi genre that dives into the personal struggles of its protagonist. The tone is reflective, almost melancholic, as our young African American astronaut navigates not just the vastness of space, but also the weight of his issues back on Earth. The pacing might feel a bit slow for some, but it allows for a deeper exploration of the character's psyche. The practical effects are surprisingly engaging, grounding the film in a reality that feels both familiar and distant. Although the director's identity remains a mystery, the performance is compelling enough to keep you invested in his journey, making it a distinctive piece in the realm of indie sci-fi.
