Overview
- Now in cinemas, the adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel is directed by Phil Lord and Chris Miller and released as Der Astronaut in Germany.
- Ryan Gosling leads much of the film alone as scientist Ryland Grace on a one‑way mission to investigate a threat to the Sun without revealing key twists.
- Sandra Hüller plays project chief Eva Stratt, earning strong notices for a poised, authoritative turn, with Gosling publicly praising her work.
- The alien counterpart Rocky is portrayed with practical puppetry rather than CGI, a choice credited with adding warmth to the central relationship.
- Critics highlight a science-grounded premise and family-friendly tone, while some fault overplayed humor and trailers that gave away a major surprise from the book.
