Went and saw it. Despite “Rocky” being a little bro to the Galaxy Quest Rock Monster and kinda being cheesy with the “coos” and decidedly un-alien thought processes that were very human…

It was a relief to watch and enjoy.

Not dark, not apocalyptic like supervillains bent on world destruction, not yet another rehash of a franchise or live action reboot.

I was glad to see it. A decent, feel-good original movie.

non-franchise

Are you really saying that people might actually be fed up with recycled and reheated remakes or yet another addition to a superhero universe? Color me shocked…

Since Oppenheimer, you say?! That must have been released like a hundred years ago, right?! Amazing. The world we live in. Truly the future.

“Project Hail Mary” is bringing audiences to movie theaters in numbers the industry hasn’t seen for a non-franchise film since “Oppenheimer.”

So, 3 years ago?

I read and enjoyed the book, but the movie improved on some story beats and trimmed some sciencey stuff that wouldn’t have translated well to the screen. Pretty great adaptation.

If you’re considering watching it, do try to avoid the trailers for it. I understand that you have to market the story, but introducing things in ads that should have been delightful surprises kinda stinks.

I’m honestly fatigued with all the reboots/rehashes and marvel slop, glad this one is doing well.

Because its actually good and has real humans. Listen up Hollywood.
