Sci-fi films, these days, try to awe us with visions of the apocalypse, or else they depress us with visions of dystopia. They try to be intellectual, and sometimes, they try to be profound. In this climate, 'Project Hail Mary' does something so basic that it seems revolutionary. The opening scenes are all about “earth is going to be destroyed”, but soon after, the film turns into the most unexpected buddy movie. The elevator pitch is “Ryan Gosling bonds with an alien to save the universe, and let’s make this with a mix of Spielbergian optimism and the heartwarming humour of Pixar at their peak”. This is easily the best-est time I’ve had at the movies this year. The visual effects are beautifully done, but they are not overwhelming. And the decision to have a non-linear screenplay pays off brilliantly towards the end, because the protagonist is not a space stud. The lesson, if there is one, is that we sometimes need to be pushed in order to realise our potential. Others may see us more clearly than we do. As the alien would say: amaze, amaze, amaze!
Tienes novia. Llevas 7 años con ella y una noche se te presenta esta caballa y te dice claramente que quiere que tu glande y cuerpo cavernoso surque los mares de sus labios mayores y menores.
Accedes?
Project Hail Mary
10/10
It is infuriatingly good, pointing out its flaws will make you sound like the most pathetic person alive.
Also I love how somewhat grounded in real world science it is
A small delay… but something worth the wait.
THE DRAMA will be arriving at a later date.
Stay tuned for updates—we can’t wait to share it with you 🤍

@trashjuicecube@otherside_X42@BuddOfCourse There is a problem in that too. By just making it a simple line of dialogue, everything just felt too simple. The story just feels much more complex in the book than in the movie.
@otherside_X42@BuddOfCourse Honestly the cuts were one of the most impressive parts for me. So many fiddly little bits of the plot that would have been an expositional quagmire, and they ignore them entirely or chop them out with like a single line of dialogue, and it works fine. Really great scriptwriting.
