Project Hail Mary
I had not been to a theater in about 2 years.
However, I had heard good things about this film and against my better judgement I spent WAY more than movies used to cost to go see it.
I'm really glad I did.
This film is excellent, being a very enjoyable thriller that keep providing twists and surprises.
Thing is: This review has been sitting in draft for 2 weeks because the film is SO full of twists that's it's hard to review without spoilers. (The audience is not told what is going on at the beginning of the film and figuring it out is a major part of the movie).
The film is a surprisingly hard sci-fi flick, and features some aliens that are genuinely alien...and yet relatable...frequently....mostly. Except when they aren't.
The film is a thriller and after a bit of tension build-up it delivers the thrills in rapid succession and in great quantity. However, the movie is also literate, thoughtful, and poignant.
This film is Absolute Cinema.
It's one of the best films I've seen ever, and despite my aforementioned hiatus, I used to go to the movies quite often.
If you can find it in theaters I HIGHLY recommend it. It really is best viewed on a big screen. If you can only find it streaming, well I STILL recommend it. And you won't pay as much.
Just go watch it.
