No spoilers .... with Paul Dano involved, I couldn't help feeling this movie was influenced by Swiss Army Man. That's not a bad thing, however for Sci-Fi, it ventures into the meta-physical with an open-ended conclusion. Also, given Johan Renck's bio, you see influences of Tarkovsky's Solaris. Overall the movie is intriguing, but lacking scientific accuracy. That said, many people seem to have missed that CzechNet was using quantum entanglement to get around the limits of faster-than-light communications - something scientists have been working on - albeit without any success (you can entangle photons, you just can't measure their individual state without breaking their entanglement). Regardless, this was a respectable attempt to explain Jakub's real-time communications with Earth. Props to Adam Sandler for taking on this unlikely role and to Johan Renck for taking on this project after reading the the Jaroslav Kalfar's book and seeing his own life reflected in its main character. My favorite character was Isabela Rossellini's Commissioner Tuma because it's the first time I've ever seen my family name represented in any major production :)
