The Cosmonaut

Naysayers on here definitely are not lovers of film. This is not Hollywood. No hay ending. No over scripted dialogues. Just a beautiful masterpiece. The camera work alone was amazing. truly a crowning achievement of the independent film movement. a must watch for lovers of cinema and a must watch for criterion movie lovers.

The Cosmonaut is original, sad and beautifully delivered Sci-Fi story of love and adventure. Pay attention and enjoy.

BTW, if your are one of those who base their reviews on budget and CGI, you should really stick to flashy garbage from Hollywood.

I'm going to keep this short and sweet, as I rarely go out of my way to review on IMDb, but this movie has a ~5/10 currently. That is RIDICULOUS.

This movie is beautiful, as another reviewer said, almost like poetry. It had enough sci-fi in it to satisfy the science nerd in me, yet how the film impacted me from an emotional standpoint is where it really hits home.

Watch this movie. It's certainly open to some interpretation, but I thought it was almost majestic (some scenes, for sure), and is definitely worth a watch. It's disgusting that this movie isn't reviewed higher, it was better than 90% of films I see.

While not what I expected to see, I liked.

It is closer to poetry than to traditional film, and I expected more emphasis on the characters and the story.

It's a beautiful job well done, in my opinion, despite a large sadness in its content, but I will not reveal details of the plot so I will say no more.

Sometimes I feel like hard to follow considering the changes in the Timeline, which anyway does not prevent understanding of the work.

Otherwise it's a movie out of the ordinary (as planned: crow-funding, Spanish production spoken in English and filmed in Russia, etc.).

The places are very interesting and the environment, in my opinion very well done. It also has a good soundtrack.

"The Cosmonaut" was very well done, well acted and well thought out. It is not the the typical "Iron Man" blow up stuff movie, but was really good. Don't look for The Hulk to drop down and explain everything to you. There is a fair amount of beauty, magic, love and science here. It reminded me of Kubrick's "2001 A Space Odyssey", Demi Moore in "Ghost", and Bruce Willis in "The Sixth Sense". The adult situations and relationships are beautifully done. No campy stuff here. There are light- hearted moments, but much is of a serious nature. Training for space is a "no joking matter", for the Cosmonauts, and for their loved ones. I watched "The Cosmonaut" twice, and listened to the beautifully haunting music through the extended credits. Great job. I should really rate the movie a "9".
