AI Summary

Following science teacher Ryland Grace, who wakes up on a spaceship light-years from home with no memory of who he is or how he got there.

My feelings, thoughts, and opinions

I love this movie, recommended it to everyone after I had watched it. In fact, wanted to watch it again 5 days later. I saw this comment, which described it perfectly, "the Disney version of Interstellar", spot ON! It's comedic gold, it's so funny. So well cast. Cast really makes a movie in my opinion. Of course, the production of it and the set need to be good, but for this, they could've filmed the entire movie in a garage, and it still would've been so good.

Did I cry? Yes of course I did. About what? A rock that is sad.

I also discussed this movie with a colleague of mine, she said she wasn't excited to watch it because she thought it was another "end of the world movie, bla bla bla" and it's not, it really is sooooooo good.

RECOMMEND! Will watch again.
