• The story follows Ryland Grace, an amnesiac scientist on a deep‑space mission, whose bond with an alien named Rocky provides the film’s emotional core.
• Reviewers praise Gosling’s performance and the tender ‘buddy movie’ dynamic, with some calling the film uplifting and strongly recommending a theatrical viewing.
• Other critiques describe the approach as safe and sentimental, citing familiar plotting and limited imagination despite strong craft and design.
