Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.
Didn’t hate it, but thought the humor and cuteness detracted from it. The ending made me roll my eyes.
Felt the same about Predator: Badlands. I wanted a hardcore survival/revenge flick and it started out like that, but then you’ve got an android constantly cracking jokes and a cute little plush toy creature being cute all over the place and it kind of killed it for me. It’s not just a Predator movie, it’s the first one where the Predator is the main character. There shouldn’t be cute and funny.
Same with a space survival movie with the extinction of multiple species on the line. I’m cool with a little humor cuz people do that to break tension, but it was pretty consistent throughout the entire movie.
I had pretty similar complaints. I went in completely blind expecting a sort of hard sci-fi realistic film or just more serious I guess. It didn’t really feel serious or realistic at all and It felt like a lot of the movie was just trying to make the character cute like you mentioned. And like you say, it tried to be funny and it wasnt at all imo

You just described Joss Whedon script writing.
