Fans react hilariously as Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun star in a sci-fi romance about a satellite and a buoy

Picture a world where humans have ghosted themselves. No people, no noise—just the aftermath of our tech obsession drifting aimlessly in the void. And in the middle of this desolate landscape, we have Love Me, a sci-fi romance starring Kristen Stewart and Steven Yeun. Directed by first-timers Sam and Andy Zuchero, this film is a quirky cocktail of existential dread and quirky banter.

The internet is in absolute shambles over the premise of Love Me, with an X user summing up all the reactions, stating: “Between a what now.”

Another user said: "I'm having difficulty processing this."

A user went on to simplify the whole situation with an epic "what," followed by a meme.

Another user's meme reads: "come again."

A user commented: "I can’t wait to see Kristen Stewart's facial expressions."

A comment read: "Is this Wall-E but without the awesome Pixar animation?"

Another comment read: "Is it illegal for people to love their own race anymore?"

What is Love Me about?

The film drops us into a post-apocalyptic world where humans have yeeted themselves into extinction. Instead of your typical star-crossed lovers, we get a solar-powered buoy (yep, like the thing that floats in the ocean) voiced by Kristen Stewart and a high-tech satellite voiced by Steven Yeun.

Kristen’s buoy, lovingly nicknamed “Me,” has been chilling in the Pacific since 2025, soaking up solar vibes and figuring out her “life purpose.” Steven Yeun’s satellite, “Iam,” who’s been orbiting Earth, minding his own business and probably laughing at how we humans ruined everything.

At first, Iam treats Me’s attempts at communication like an unwanted DM—left on read. But persistence pays off, and the two strike up a digital pen-pal situation that blossoms into a full-blown online relationship.

Together, Me and Iam delve into what it means to exist in a world where the creators are gone. They recreate human experiences giving us a bittersweet look at love, identity, and the desperate ways we cling to connection.

Basically, the makers of Love Me just want us ugly crying into our popcorn.

BTS of Love Me

Sam and Andy Zuchero, the sibling duo behind Love Me, built practical models for both the buoy and satellite.

Critics are already comparing Love Me to WALL-E, but the Zucheros insist it’s less about survival and more about feels.

Love Me premiered at Sundance this year, and let’s just say the reactions are as polarizing as pineapple on pizza. Some reviewers are hyping it as the boldest take on love since Her, while others feel like the movie gets too caught up in its own deep thoughts.

As Love Me hits theaters early next year, get ready to ask the big questions—like what it means to love when no one’s around to teach you how.
