I think a spider was the perfect alien. Genuinely a bizzare creature that freaks people out no matter the size, all from fear. Fear is the mind killer. It's a genuis way to bring 2 characters who are planets away from each other together. Giant spider? Small spider? We still fear it's perceived threat when we shouldn't. Yes, we should be careful, but we have no right to kill it, although it's our first instinct. We all have the same beginning and end. Giving a spider humane quality's is genuis and to have THE Paul Dano voicing it? And idk about you, but I see myself as a spaceman who sees himself as a spider. The spider doesn't have to be real because it changes nothing. The end is how it was meant to be.

That's it. Everybody is comparing the Movie with Interstelar. But it gave me way more of a Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind feeling.

So what’s the ending in the book? The ending in the movie was not great at all imo.

@hirkiti I'll just copy and past from the Wiki article on the book and spoiler warning for anyone wanting to read the book or even watch the movie haha.<br /> <br /> [spoiler]<br /> Jakub passes his time with Hanuš while getting reports back from the spy he hired to follow Lenka. When he finally reaches Chopra, the dust particles tear open his ship and he decides to spend his last moments with a dying Hanuš, whom he has grown very close to. At the last moment, Jakub is rescued by a Russian shuttle, where he meets three other cosmonauts. They explain that they are from a secret Russian program and that once they land he will be imprisoned. As they are landing, Jakub escapes with the help of one of the cosmonauts who claims to have met Hanuš as well. The escape attempt causes the ship to crash, with Jakub as the only survivor. He learns he was pronounced dead to the world and decides this is better for both him and Lenka, who he believes is happier without him. He travels back to his childhood home, where he decides to live the rest of his life.<br /> [/spoiler]

@mellowb Thanks! The ending from the book is sooooo much better. I’ve always heard American audiences dislike sad endings and it’s true that there are many instances of sad endings that are changed to happy by Hollywood. I guess Netflix is guilty of that too.
