Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) 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.

It soars on the immense likeability of Gosling’s presence, working in perfect tandem with directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller to create an incredibly crowd-pleasing film. - Wenlei Ma, The Nightly (AU)

In the most purely pleasurable movie so far this year, Ryan Gosling has a blast as a science guy who rockets into space to save all our asses with jolts, jokes and smarts that won’t quit. -Peter Travers, TheTravers Take
