Project Hail Mary Review Better Than The Martian & Interstellar? 🚀
from The NerdGen Report · host Pablo I Solano
The Big Sci-Fi Debate: Brian calls the film a 5-star masterpiece that will spark a lifelong debate alongside The Martian and Interstellar for the best standalone space movie of the 21st century.IMAX vs. Dolby: Brian saw the film early on Amazon Prime in both formats, and he breaks down exactly why you should choose Dolby Digital for the best visual and audio experience.No Green Screens: How directors Lord and Miller captured a gritty, documentary-like look (similar to the moon landing) by using physical ship models instead of fake-looking CGI green screens.Meet Rocky: We discuss the brilliant execution of Rocky, a faceless rock puppet with a digitized voice who brings an E.T. or Wall-E level of heart to the film and opens the story up for families and kids.Gosling's Tour de Force: Why this 6-year passion project proves Ryan Gosling can anchor a massive blockbuster entirely on his own, and why he might get an Oscar nomination for it.The Anti-Ensemble: Unlike The Martian, this film relies on a tiny cast. We shout out Sandra Hüller's deadpan, machine-like performance on Earth, and Lionel Boyce (The Bear) in a standout Secret Service role.
