So, it should be said, that from here on out, I plan to delve into the details of this movie at quite some length. That’s totally where I thought this was going. But seriously, I’m doubting there are many that hit that ending and said, Oh, yeah. But I’m betting they are on your next grocery shopping list because, duh.

Opens the Google, “Someone please explain the movie Approaching the Unknown To me”Īm I right? Ok, maybe I’m off on the Wafers.

“Wait what?!?” “No seriously… what was that about?”.

For the love of all that’s good and holy… hand me those Nilla Wafers.

Back to kitchen, Nilla wafers this time.

Is this a humorless version of Matt Damon’s The Martian?.

Oh wait, what is this movie with that bald guy? I’ll give that a shot.

What your Viewing Experience of Approaching The Unknown was most likely like: But only after you’ve seen it… ok? Great, thanks for that.

If you have not seen it yet, watch this trailer and then decide if it is up your alley. But if you are unfamiliar with the movie, this post is going to be riddled with spoilers momentarily. The WHY of Approaching the Unknown is so good, and so fantastic, I almost see why the film makers made this incomprehensible film. Or maybe, best case was, you didn’t hate it… but holy heck, what was that ending about? What was the point? And let me just say, that it was the meaning, it was the larger point that was the only part that I absolutely adored when I watched it. And I’m all but certain you didn’t (or won’t) like it either. So let’s get this out of the way early… I’m not a fan. All I needed to do was to finally get around to watching this movie and it’d be immediately vaulted into my top ten films of all time list. It’s a quiet, unassuming, space exploration film that really should land right in the center of my sweet spot. And that is the sort of movie that Approaching the Unknown is. Upstream Color, seconds please! You get the idea. Jessica Chastain and Brad Pitt in the Tree of Life? Yes, please. I love, I love, I LOVE, quiet, introspective movies that consider our place in the world. Let Me Explain the Movie Approaching The Unknown To You
