People mostly complain because they thought it was gonna be another Marvel type action/comedy filled with one-liners. If you come into this movie with an open mind and without expectations (like you should with ALL movies) then what you get is a movie about father and son, but mostly about the issues the character has with himself. The protagonist embarks on a journey across the solar system to find his father, but the journey serves as am engine where the character develops and reflects. What I like even more about this movie is the fact that it is a Sci-Fi setting without it being up in your face about it. It's a new world that adds depth and flavor to the main story, but it is not the actual story. I wish more movies did that. Like maybe a romance movie, but on Mars, what new flavors could that add (you get what I am talking about)?
TLDR; It's not Star Wars with Brad Pitt, it's mainly a drama with splashes of adventure set in a grounded Sci-Fi world.
