Spoilers

Adam Sandler gets therapy from a giant time and space fairing psychic spider and comes to the realization that his dreams and his mission to advance human understanding was wrong and should have come second to consoling his wife about her uterus and other mammal instinctual bullshit.

Fuck you, spider. Mental health is important but I personally place the future of mankind much higher on the list. Every moment we delay our intellectual development as a species is another moment of additional pain and suffering on an unimaginable scale.

10/10 worth a watch

    I think that inside the fictional setting of the movie there is a chance that the spider was real, and there are several clues that support this argument:

    1. The toilet making sounds at night was due to the spider turning the valve. The camera malfunctions could also be explained by the spider.

    2. It pinned Adam Sandler to a wall.

    3. Adam Sandler was told that the space cloud was the beginning of everything before he had actually observed it, and later it was observed to contain the information of every event since the dawn of time.

    4. Adam Sandler was somehow magically transported through the cloud to appear directly in front of the South Korean vessel, an astronomically low probability.

    So while it’s possible that he had simply gone insane from the very beginning, and that the spider was a halucination, it’s actually kind of unlikely.
