@DialgaMarine92 @SwipaCam Christian Bale in Exodus. 2016??

@SwipaCam John Boyega’s character was destroyed because Disney wanted to make Episodes 8 and 9 more marketable to Chinese audiences, who are very well known for hating blacks. It had nothing to do with white people. And when’s the last time a white person played Moses?

White people will take on roles to play Moses/Noah and you lot won’t bat an eye. But Snape (a fictional character) is played by a Black man and you whine and complain. It’s the same reason why John Boyega’s character was destroyed. It’s a book.

@Sephanade Lotr. Extended version is like 4 hrs. That's only 6 watches. Easy.

Let’s say you’re offered $200K to watch one movie on repeat for 24 hours, what are you picking...

@GrantSlatton The time it took Dr. Grace to realise where he was when he woke up was nearly zero. This irked me.

i enjoyed project hail mary, but my biggest criticism is they did not convey time well in the book, the protagonists are working together for like 5 months movie makes it seem like a week or two reduces the plausibility of the bond they develop

@MovieEndorser Interstellar, but Arrival is elite.

Arrival or Interstellar?

@TylerCWhitmore Bale Denzel

Rank these 4 actors all-time: Ryan Gosling Leonardo DiCaprio Denzel Washington Christian Bale

@LivingTricks_ Inga

Read it again carefully. The answer is literally right in front of you 😏

@noahTLW @harvv I dont remember it

@NickyWilsonFW @harvv The song during the ending scene with Grace on Erid had big corporate presentation vibes

Project Hail Mary is becoming a “watch it before filmtwt tells you it’s bad” movie already.

@noahTLW @harvv The Beatles song choice for the Beatles leaving was spot on.

@harvv It's legitimately a good movie. The only weak spots were the soundtrack and the pacing was a bit off at times compared to the book

@mattroembke If you get a chance, I highly recommend the audio book read by Ray Porter. Its fantastic.

Had never really heard of #ProjectHailMary. Didn’t watch a single trailer. Knew nothing going in. Here are my takeaways: 1. Ryan Gosling is becoming my generations Tom Hanks. B. Lord & Miller can do it all. 3. That movie rocked.

@sonofearle @anishmoonka @eericmyers I thought the same. I might go again tomorrow. There are a few bits that annoyed me but you're never gonna get it perfectly as the book. Having said that, this is for me is one the best book to film adaptations ive seen.

@anishmoonka @eericmyers Just got home from it. The book was a masterpiece and the film did it absolute justice. It will be a classic.

You're watching a $248 million film and not a single green or blue screen was used. The alien is a handmade puppet. The cockpit physically rotates to simulate gravity. I looked at the production tech behind this 95% score, and the engineering is wild. Phil Lord and Chris Miller, directing their first live-action movie in 12 years, built the entire Hail Mary spacecraft as a real set at Shepperton Studios in England. Not a miniature. Not a digital model. A full-size ship interior you can walk through. Production designer Charlie Wood studied the International Space Station, Russia's Mir station, and the Boeing 747 cockpit to get the look right. He deliberately made the panels mismatched, because real spacecraft are assembled from parts made by different companies. Nothing matches perfectly. That's what makes it feel real. The cockpit is only about 8 feet wide. It sits on a mechanical platform that can tilt, spin, and shake, so when the ship changes direction or enters different gravity conditions, the whole set moves. Chairs end up on walls. Ladders flip direction. Gosling was suspended inside a spinning ring so he could float and move through the ship for real, reacting to actual hardware around him. No guessing where a wall might be added later. Then there's Rocky. He's the alien co-lead, and he's not CGI. Neal Scanlan, the creature designer who built the Porgs for Star Wars, spent a full year on this character. Over 300 designs before they landed on the final look. Rocky is a thin, hollow shell, 3D-printed from a digital sculpture, then hand-painted in see-through layers so light passes through him like skin. His arms pop off and swap out depending on the scene: one set has a closed fist for walking, another has tiny motorized fingers strong enough to pick up objects. Five puppeteers (nicknamed the "Rockyteers") operated him in every scene. James Ortiz, an award-winning puppet designer from New York theater, voiced Rocky and controlled him on set. When Scanlan met him, he told Ortiz, "You're Frank Oz, and I'm making Yoda for you." Every reaction Gosling gives to the alien is to something physically in front of him. Greig Fraser, who won the Oscar for shooting Dune, filmed the space scenes in the larger IMAX format (that taller image you see in IMAX theaters) and the Earth flashbacks in regular widescreen. Then the team did something unusual: they took the digital footage and printed it onto real film strips, twice, using two different types of film stock. Then they scanned those strips back into digital. It sounds redundant, but it adds a texture and warmth that you can only get from physical film. Fraser used the same technique on Dune and The Batman. Drew Goddard spent six years writing this screenplay. His last adaptation of Andy Weir's novel, The Martian, earned him an Oscar nomination. He described the challenge this way: a screenplay gets about 5% of a novel's word count. The lead is alone for most of the runtime. When he finally gets a co-star, that co-star doesn't speak English, communicates through sounds closer to whale song, and has no face. Goddard called it a screenwriter's nightmare, then said that difficulty was the whole point. He and the directors fought studio pushback to keep Weir's original ending intact. 95% from 212 critics. 98% from over 2,500 audience ratings. And the lead isn't a superhero, a cop, or a soldier. He's just an ordinary middle school science teacher.

@rachrach43 Saw it at the weekend, I'm planning on going again this weekend.

I’m seeing Project Hail Mary tomorrow and it’s all I’ve been able to think about, I’m so excited

@winterduck04 My theory is that The Matrix can't handle it. Whatever system tge machines are using doesn't have enough bandwidth to process the information.

can someone explain to me how the time relativity works bc i am So Confused

@JCrouchPhoto @ManaByte The reveal of where he was was too quick. Even with that, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

@ManaByte It's great but not quite right. Most of the science stuff is stripped out. There are at least 2 scenes that aren't in the book. I like the choices made for the adaptation, but it definitely has things that were left out.

Project Hail Mary has everything from the book, plus one small addition that makes it better than the book. It’s not like The Martian where something like the rover flipping over during the journey across Mars was cut from the adaptation. Everything is there from the book and it flows great. They added one small scene that the book honestly needed but I understand how it couldn’t have worked in print with how the book was written.

@lovestruckgirl_ Yes

guys be serious is project hail mary worth reading

@ProtonInspector Brilliant. The book is amazing and I feel the movie did it justice.

Is Project Hail Mary any good?

@ItsCrapto @chinafutureclub Nope

@NickyWilsonFW @chinafutureclub All venoms are poison

Everyone thinks Australia has dangerous animals. It’s an urban myth. There’s no large land predators in Australia. No tigers. No lions. No bears. We do have giant spiders but most of them are harmless. Most dangerous animal is the drunk guy trying to fight you for no reason 👊

@ItsCrapto @chinafutureclub Venomous*

@chinafutureclub You have dozens of different species of poison snakes.

@Seu_Abel_spfc @TheCinesthetic I knew what was gonna happen as some prick ruined it. I still did not believe it though.

@TheCinesthetic SAW

what’s a movie that had the BIGGEST PLOT TWIST EVER and it still blows your mind just thinking about it ????

@VictorInFocus @TheCinesthetic What a film

@TheCinesthetic Predestination (2014)
