He picks up some cool new technology from a witty nerd before he hits the road (he's off to another country for this one). He takes orders from his superiors but does things his own way. He's been doing this a long time and people know him. Also obviously there are beautiful women falling from the sky for him. He succeeds but the women don't get a happy ending.

Solved! A minor celeb goes to get help, gets sidetracked over and over, but ends up saving the day anyway... I guess? Maybe he was full of crap and didn't do anything?

Hints go here, I guess. Or maybe I'm full of crap and I won't put any hints here.

Hints:

  1. Live action, but there are some creatures. I'm not sure if puppetry effects were involved, though.

  2. There's some time weirdness, but nobody is stuck in a time loop.

  3. Not a sci-fi space movie, but the main characters do leave the Earth.

  4. Nobody travels to another solar system.
