It was weak on hard science but a welcome to the good side of humanity. Refreshing that there was no kill kill kill in most movies these days. A little high brow for most.

It would be nice if those "nay"-sayers actually provided some solid reasons why they disliked the movie rather than just some generic statements… Anyway, a decent film combining sci-fi with dark comedy, indeed a bit of deja-vu with Interstellar or The Martian (with a hint of Don‘t Look Up). Rocky the alien is cute and reminded me a bit of the rock monster in Galaxy Quest. Also, the physics of a polymorphism of Xenon being a gas versus a solid is quite interesting. So, a bit of occasional slapstick mixed with more serious topics (like saving the world from solar extinction), overall a good watch.

This film is not for everyone. It's Sci-fi done right, strange concepts and adventures with space pet rock. I get it not everyone likes rocks, some people be sand people. Solid film.

Andy Weir writes hard science fiction that begins with a fictional premise and lets the science run from there. This is a complex plot with many flashbacks that reveal the central character’s gradually returning memories, I probably benefited from having read the book in advance. The evolution of the relationship between Grace and Rocky was fun and sometimes moving to watch. Also enjoyed the nods to other SF movies. HG Wells, call your office.

Very entertaining! Ryan Gosling was great in this! Maybe a little bit too long, but we really enjoyed it!
The friendship with Rocky was fun and endearing!
