LOL, I get that a lot, trust me. Well, to start off I found it a visual and sonic treat. I loved the sparseness of dialog and vastness of the cinematography; when he got to Neptune it made me feel "wow, he is a lonnnng way from home". I never felt that when viewing other movies of the genre.
Additionally....I connected with his longing for his dad (our relationship was
not like the one portrayed in the film, we couldn't have been more close). I lost mine unexpectedly two years ago last week; when I now encounter scenes expressing loss, missed opportunity, and a future without that loved one....let's just say it gets awful dusty around these parts. Like now for example.
