I think Ryan Gosling has too much charisma for this role, not to mention too good looking, too. He's supposed to be shunned by his peers so his charisma did not track.
The movie was way too long. There were a few scenes in the second act that could have been shorter, especially with the first contact with the alien. Maybe Phil Lord and Christopher Miller wanted to stay true to the book, which I didn't read so I don't know what I'm talking about. But I was thinking if those scenes were cut shorter I don't think we would have missed anything.
I'm not sure Sandra Huller's acting here was the right choice. In the first part where she was just a cold operative on a mission, I liked it. But in the second act where she showed more of her personality, there wasn't much going on with her performance.
As a space adventure though, this was entertaining. Though I did not understand a word of the science behind how he solved the main plot. I don't think that was explained well.
