  9. Review: Project Hail Mary – If Pixar was Live-Action

    Project Hail Mary came out earlier this year and quickly proved that Hollywood can make good stories, given they actually have the dedication to do so.

    Starring Ryan Gosling, Project Hail Mary follows Dr. Grace, a 6th-grade science teacher who is chosen by the government to help figure out what is eating the sun. He soon finds out what it is, and the government sends him on a mission to space to find out why all the stars in the galaxy are being eaten, except for one. Upon reaching the star, he meets an alien searching for the same answers and they team up to save their planets.

    Overall, this was one of the most wholesome movies I have seen in a long time. It doesn’t try to push any sort of political agenda, it wasn’t about appeasing the non-existent “modern audience,” it didn’t make the male characters incompetent. Instead, it stuck to what used to make movies fun to watch: a story of a dude going against all odds for the greater good. It’s a tale of friendship, personal growth, perseverance, and hope.

    Because of Project Hail Mary‘s wholesome nature, it quickly reminded me of early 2000s Pixar. It has some funny parts, and lot of heavy themes are explored, but they’re explored in a way that’s uplifting, and that everyone can understand. The ending feels earned. The characters didn’t just get there through whining about their feelings, but through working hard for it.

    Something that was impressive in the movie was Dr. Grace’s alien friend, Rocky. When creating the movie, the producers decided that Ryan Gosling needed something to act with. Rocky couldn’t just be CGI. He had to be real. So, they made two versions of him – a puppet and an animatronic. From a mix of puppetry and a few visual effects here and there, they brought the alien to life, which is especially impressive given that Rocky doesn’t have a face. They had to go entirely off of movement and voice alone to communicate emotions and make him engaging, a feat which they pulled off incredibly well. Throughout the movie, I was wondering how they got me to care so much for a rock.

    Additionally, the movie doesn’t treat the audience like we’re stupid. We don’t get a bunch of massive exposition dumps where the characters almost break the fourth wall to tell us what’s going on. Instead, we get to find things out with the characters, which makes the story much more engaging.

    Overall, I’ll give this move a 10/10. It was super cute, wholesome, and a fun watch for the whole family.

    Until next time,

    M.J.

  13. tratto sempre dai libri di #AndyWeir che, personalmente, ritengo autore incredibilmente sovravvalutato avendo sistematicamente scambiato il viaggio dell'eroe con i suoi profondi archetipi, con la trama di una puntata di MacGyver.

    Iniziamo dal presupposto di base: questo film non è fantascienza, né hard né soft. E' una noiosa fiaba morale con delle astronavi.
    Il protagonista, #RyanGosling nei panni di un astronauta che non ricorda nulla (perché l'amnesia è sempre la soluzione narrativa

  18. I watched the movie Project Hail Mary today. It was good, it's just another one of those instances where the novel tops the movie.

  23. Project Hail Mary is weirdly Von Tririan?

    Project Hail Mary is one of those few movies, which I read in the book form before watching. The book by Andy Weir in an absolute banger of a read. The plotting is awesome. The detail the book goes into is insane. Basically Andy Weir is one of the best contemporary writers living today. And Hollywood wanting to adopt Weir is and always will be bound to happen.

  28. I'm a massive #AndyWeir fan, just on the basis of #TheMartian and PHM. Not actually read Artemis. But the influence he's having on high school students is huge. I've had at least one, per year, sometimes more, of my prefects mention The Martian as an influence in their choice to do science, and I'm seeing more, younger, students being excited by #ProjectHailMary

  33. Unfortunately the "Hail Mary" book ( #andyWeir ) was a very quick read, so that's done and dusted. I should've held back and saved it for today probably.

  38. first time in years i went to the cinema, but i couldn't not watch another work by #AndyWeir. been reading his stuff on his old html site since the day he posted #TheEgg on 4chan all those years ago. I was so excited when he more or less accidentally blew up with #TheMartian because people couldn't figure out how to download a free .epub and so he published it at the lowest possible allowed price on Amazon.

    anyway, the #ProjectHailMary movie was great! Only complaint is the "cutify" of Rocky...

  41. ich habe mir gestern endlich project hail mary angetan, bevor der wieder aus den kinos verschwindet und war doch sehr angetan, mit einschränkungen. eine angemessene verfilmung des buchs, die natürlich nicht alle aspekte berücksichtigen konnte. teilweise wirkte es ein wenig ins lustige gezogen, so hatte ich mir das beim lesen nicht vorgestellt. aber es passte.

    ein großer malus existiert aber: die musik. oft sehr angenehm und passend, aber wenn es dramatisch wird, wird die musik belästigend. minutenlang, zuckrig, pathetisch, dramatisierend dröhnt es aus den lautsprechern, bis auch der letzte zuschauende mitbekommen hat, dass jetzt etwas wichtiges oder berührendes geschieht. das hat meine toleranzschwelle für schlechte filmmusik deutlich überschritten. vielleicht bin ich auch nur empfindlicher geworden, wäre möglich.

    trotzdem kann ich den film nur empfehlen: sehr unterhaltsam, man hat einen schönen abend!
