Ryan Gosling stars as Rylan Grace, a lone survivor waking from a coma on a spaceship light years from home. His mission is to stop a mysterious microbe dimming our sun and threatening Earth with deadly cold. Grace pieces together his past as a former scientist dismissed for bold ideas on life's origins. He's recruited by leader Eva Strat, played by Sandra Huller for a desperate trip to Towsetti, the one star untouched by the threat. There, he makes an unexpected ally in an alien he dubs, Rocky. Fans and critics love Gosling's spot-on mix of drama and humor perfect for the film's witty moments. Directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller deliver stunning action, especially later on, with Oscar-winning cinematographer Greg Fraser's visuals popping off the screen. Screenwriter Drew Goddard sticks close to the book, crafting a faithful and gripping tale.
