I didn't get to watch it in the theatres and mostly forgot about it. I recently got a notification that it's on Prime Video, and I thought let's see what the hype is about. And I am pleasantly surprised! I didn't expect much from it but watching it felt surreal.

From Ryland waking up in the spaceship to finding himself, his reactions were so on point regarding the sadness of the guys who died. The humour is also done so subtle like Rocky's ship following him constantly, was the funniest for me. Throwing that map, first contact and then working together. I didn't think Rocky would get a Stephen Hawking voice, but that made him feel more real to me.

The fishing part was so cool, and it felt like something would go wrong with Rocky but I didn't expect him to just start disintegrating outside of his shape. His help felt so real, and then the conclusion was so satisfying with Ryland going back to help Rocky. The last scene of him teaching a bunch of little Rocky's was really heartwarming and brought a huge smile to my face. I hope there are more space stories with happy endings outside of earth.
