Every time I open Netflix in Firefox browser, to watch streaming movies, it won't show them but keeps taking me to a page asking me to log in again or pay for a Netflix account. (attached)I already have a Netflix account and can watch streaming movies with no problems on other browsers, but not using Firefox, which is my Default browser.

I suspect your HTTP cookies were cleared. In case you're confused, think of HTTP cookies as small pieces of information that websites store on your computer or device when you visit them. It's like a little note that a website leaves behind to remember you.

Imagine you go to a bakery, and they give you a stamp on your hand so they know you've been there. The next time you come back, they look at the stamp, and they remember what you ordered or what you liked before. HTTP cookies work in a similar way for websites.

These "HTTP cookies" are used to remember things about your visit, like what items you put in your shopping cart on an online store, your login information, or your language preferences. This makes it more convenient for you because you don't have to re-enter the same information every time you visit a website.

I've been eagerly anticipating this science fiction movie starring Adam Sandler as a lonely astronaut and Paul Dano as Hanuš, the alien spider he meets in the great unknown. It made its debut at the Berlinale Film Festival back in February and despite some mixed reviews, it seems audiences are eagerly giving it a chance. So I decided to watch it as well.

After watching it, I definitely have some thoughts, including whether or not you should watch this Netflix movie. So let's dive into what "Spaceman" is all about and whether you should stream or skip it on Netflix this week.

This movie is based on the 2017 novel "Spaceman of Bohemia." Adam Sandler stars as Commander Jakub Prochzka, a cosmonaut from the Czech Republic who is on a mission at the edge of our solar system to explore a mysterious ancient cloud of dust. While in the vast emptiness of space, Jakub meets Hanuš, an extraterrestrial spider (Paul Dano) who attempts to help Jakub through "his emotional distress"

Meanwhile, back on Earth, is the cause of Jakub's emotional distress. Jakub has left behind a pregnant wife, Lenka (Carey Mulligan), who appears to be ready to abandon Jakub before he returns home from his solo voyage.

Critical reviews for this movie on Rotten Tomatoes aren't great. The critical consensus is that movie has themes worth exploring and the cast is talented. But "it [the movie] fails to consistently engage with its most interesting ideas."

After having watched "Spaceman," I'd have to say this assessment is spot on. There are some interesting things worth exploring, and the budding relationship between Jakub and Hanuš is interesting. The movie also hits its strongest point when those two explore the trauma of Jakub's past, particularly his past with Lenka.

But that relationship is just one of several moving pieces at odds with each other in this movie. There's a satire on the capitalism of space travel that's attempted and forgotten throughout the movie. Showing Mulligan's Lenka back on Earth in the present rather than through flashbacks constantly interrupts the movie. And there's a weird plot element about South Korean chasing Jakub and the Czech Republic for the honor of exploring the mystic cloud first that makes absolutely no sense to be included in the movie. My only guess is that it made sense when it was in the book.

This movie is flawed, but not without merit. The second half of the movie is much more intriguing and cohesive than the first half, and the time spent exploring Jakub and Hanuš's new relationship and the trauma of Jakub and Lenka's old relationship is emotionally engaging and compelling to watch. The final act of the movie ties this all together in a way that genuinely keeps your attention and works, even if it's a bit strange at times.

Unfortunately, getting to the point where this movie starts to pay off is a 55-minute slog. I almost fell asleep during the first half of the movie while it figured out what it wanted to be. And that was valuable time lost because it prevented us from exploring the themes that did work in appropriate detail.

Ultimately, you should skip "Spaceman." Sometimes, flawed movies are worth the payoff, but this isn't one of those flawed movies. This is a shame because it's so clear that the potential was there for this Netflix movie.
