>muh aliens gotta look like humans to be relat-ack!
Based alien
>>218970465while they were stuck on that ship do you think they ever... you know
>>218971074you know that eridussy be tight
>>218970465how do rock incels sleep? if they have no one guarding them
>>218971519>everyone assumes ryland would be in the giving position
>looks nothing like this in the book>CGI is beyond shitThanks again Hollywood
>>218970465The voice translation rhined their relationship, it was more interesting when it was crude communication. How did the alien understand Grace?
>>218972847it's not cg
Why does he have a girl’s name?
>>218971768Book Rocky was chilling all alone in Tau Ceti for 46 years before Grace showed up. Bit weird how he never got over his fear of sleeping while unwatched.
>>218972847What does it look like in the book?
>>218973267So the ship can be full of Grace.
>>218973209Sure, they found a real rock monster to star in the film
>>218973175Grace tuned the translator to speak for him at a frequency above human hearing range, but still audible for Rocky. I just made this up in my head to explain it while watching.One cute thing to note though is that they aren't using translators in the final scene. They both understand each other's language naturally.
>>218973337A rock spider.
>>218973413that's what it is in the film as well
>>218973439looks more like a golem to me
Is this movie worth watching if I haven’t read the book?
>>218973488that is probably a result of your mental illness
>>218973510It's okay.
>>218970465>aliens are always naked Why the fuck does this keep happening
>>218973527I don't remember the book that well, but I'm pretty sure it describes the spiders as being extremely unnerving bordering on terrifying. this thing looks like a children's toy for kids with arachnophobia
>tfw went into the film completely blind.I had no idea what it would be about. No knowledge of the book or the prior knowledge about the story.
>>218973581Name one lifeform other than humans that wears clothes.
>>218973613snails
>>218973581>>218973613Rocky dresses up for celebrations with Grace, though. Also his species has no eyes, so it doesn't matter much if everyone is naked most of the time.
>>218973384I know this is bait, but only now is it starting to dawn on me that the vast majority of younger Zoomers and Gen Alphas might actually think all movies use CGI to achieve every single effect. No props, no makeup, no puppets, no miniatures or bigiatures.
>>218973613hermit crabs
>>218973651>>218973764those aren't clothes but portable habitations
>>218973267Why do you think Grace is a girl's name? It better not because of Resident Evil 9.
>>218970465>brown>flat>angularhe does look like zendaya tho
>>218973612And? What did you think
>>218973413Rock Lobster
>>218970465OP is a faggot
>>218974083It was alright. A bit tropey at parts. The jumpscare in the tunnel was so telegraphed, for instance. None of the jokes were particularly funny. A lot of the potential excitement during action scenes was dulled by my belief that they wouldn't be killing off the only human character. I figured Rocky might die, so I was worried for him. Science-wise I was thinking the premise was need until Grace said Rocky's species doesn't know about relativity or radiation. I thought "that's complete bullshit" as soon as I heard it. Relativity is one thing, but there's no way the eridians built that light speed ship without learning about radiation at some point. They would need to understand it and be able to detect it to figure out the Petrova line business with their own star.
>>218973581funny enough...in the book Rocky has clothes...celebratory robe and green onesie.. a jumpsuit and utility belt
>>218971074you cant fuck a rock idiot
>>218973510It’s cute
>>218974642He wears the celebratory things in the movie.
>>218973606he does not describe him that way at all, you're just severly retaraded
>>218974642>>218973581he wears both a utility belt / craftsman clothes and his celebratory clothing in the movie. there is no "robe" in the book you retard
>>218974683Didn't JD Vance have to fuck a rock in his youth because he was so poor?
>>218970465One of my main gripes in an otherwise good movie was Making him speak through that computer permanently. Their relationship was more interesting and engaging when it was broken translation he figured out on the fly through the computer. Once they gave him that voice and had him permanently 'talking' it became too juvenile and 'reddit' for my taste. I also wonder how the rock was able to understand Gosling? Did he just suddenly learn the entire english language in the span of a couple days? Maybe the book explains it better.
>>218972847>>218973384They hired the premier puppet designer/operator on earth to make the puppet for him. Yes, in some scene's he was CGI, particularly whenever he was rolling around in his glass ball, but when he is on the skyway bridge and communicating with Grace between the glass that is all puppet work.
>>218974405Well maybe recently they made a bunch of discoveries about radiation, but for them it's just advanced jargon that they never had to deal with in their history until recent disasters, so they understand a few things about radiation but they don't know that radiation=BIG DEAD or other specific things about it
>>218975874prove it
MOTY
>>218973388In the book there's a time skip and Grace is like 60-70 and has been living there a while and learned their language.
>>218978518Thats not how it works you retard, you made the initial claim, you need to prove it. No one can prove the absence of something. God you are so fucking stupid lmao, no wonder you have to make up shit to argue about on /tv/ lolololol
>>218976088>language spoilerIn the book, it takes about three chapters for them to develop an understanding. Also Rocky's species has a very different brain, they use "music" to communicate so they have a much easier time processing sounds and they also have essentially perfect memory so he can remember each English word much easier than Grace can remember and understand musical cords. Also for his species, maths is instictual they don't have to compute equations. They really glossed over everything about Rocky's biology and culture in the movie.
>>218973175Eridians have multiple brains and never forget anything. Their mental computing power is vastly better than humans
>>218979467it was funny how Rocky was ashamed to let Grace see him eat in the book but in the movie they made it a joke with Rocky being proud of it
>>218976088in the book the translator goes both way iirc
>>218979559All of that just for a laugh, they really threw out a lot of dramatic moments, the movie was far too comedic.
>>218972847the obligatory 'movie not book'
>>218973681That momoa series with the blind people still had interesting fashion, there are so many directions to go with blind fashion and heightened hearing
>>218979467That's what I figured, they had the perfect opportunity in the film through the video logs for Grace to explain more of Rocky's biology and the way he was able to understand Grace so quickly, suprised they didn't take the opportunity to do so.
>>218970465Idk wtf that is or where it's from, I just wanted to say that I absolutely hate when clowns have that stupid opinion
>>218979467>they use "music" to communicatewow that's reddit
>>218981018The only fans of Avatar films are people who want to fuck the aliens, so the films would have flopped if they had made them more weird.
>muh aliens gotta speak like humans to be relat-ableuh yeah
>>218982470Rocky doesn't speak like a human tho. It is literally a translator system Grace develops on a computer in order to understand what the fuck Rocky is saying. Rocky's actual "speech" is basically just musical tunes.
>>218970465Someone already referred to this movie with all the right buzzwords for me to never, ever watch it.>reddit>marvel movie>i heckin love science!Yeah, no way am I watching this shit.
>>218983444So, your opinion on something you've never experienced can be easily shaped by random bullshit you hear from people who you don't even know. Think about it for a moment.
>>218983444>i heckin love science!this and the martian have that and it is really annoying
>>218983444>>218985599>"i heckin love science!">it's literally just "we're going to space to save our sun" and that's about it kek>exact same "heckin science" like the movie Sunshinewhat a couple of morons
>Anon has mate, question?
>>218987373>>exact same "heckin science" like the movie Sunshinewhen in sunshine does cillian murphy says "let's science the shit out of this?"The tone and mood are completely different. This movie is all cheerful and friendly and happy
>>218978972he's also eating hamburgers made from his own cloned flesh
>>218973613caterpillars
>>218974032he's cuter than Zendaya
>>218987621>when in sunshine does cillian murphy says "let's science the shit out of this?"This never happens in Hail Mary. Fuckin idiot
>>218978902purely by default
Can I torrent this yet?
>>218979559I'm kinda miffed they chickened out on the meburgers
>>218981018the na'vi are the least interesting thing about Avatar
>>218973510Honestly it skips over a lot of the more interesting sci-fi stuff for no reason. I'm not sure how I would like it if I hadn't read the book.
>>218987621you people are so disingenuous it's unreal
>>218971074They definitely got their rocks off, if you know what I mean ;)
>>218980736They threw out most of the sci-fi shit more than anything. We never even get the payoff that Eridians are not water based and Grace was right.
>>218988013there are interesting things about avatar?oh, you mean like in a 'meta' sense? it's interesting how they make money despite being vapid, empty visual noise? that's not really that interesting, imo. shit like the transformers movies did the same.
I’m re-reading the novel. I think I found a mistake Andy made. Rocky’s ship hovers at a consistent and exact 217 meters from the Hail Mary when they encounter each other. They still have not made contact. Grace is adjusting the threshold of the proximity sensor to 0.26 kilometers to automatically detect the cylinder Rocky’s ship flings back at him. He then mentions that the distance between ships is 271 meters and anything within 260 meters should set off an alarm. Maybe Andy transposed the two digits and didn’t realize? Maybe there’s an explanation in the coming pages for why the ships are farther apart that I’d forgotten about. He did turn on then turn off centrifuge-mode in the interim, but then Rocky’s ship always mirrors the Hail Mary’s movements.
>>218988133what do you mean
>>218979398sounds like you can't prove it to me
>>218981018Avatar is supposed parallel to our real life history so making them more human makes sense. Project Hail Mary is a totally different story.
>>218976088>I also wonder how the rock was able to understand Gosling?Yeah I was wondering this the whole movie.>>218988238>We never even get the payoff that Eridians are not water based and Grace was right.I was also waiting for this to be revealed at some point in the film because it seemed like such obvious payoff but it was never brought up.
>>218988270the crab mechs were cool
>>218988278According to the last comments in this thread another autist like you got it confirmed by Andy to be a transposition mistakehttps://www.reddit.com/r/ProjectHailMary/comments/z6bf8c/spoilers_have_i_noticed_an_inconsistency_in_the/
>>218988709I guess
>>218970465If the Aliens could get to Tau Ceti, Why could they not take him home to earth?
I liked the part where it had all the jokes during the climactic scene. They just kept fucking going with the jokes and when the moment came that it supposedly became serious, they fucked the entire thing with jokes. I basically kept expecting the rock alien to make a joke at first man's lowest point. I don't know if that's the fault of the book or the two faggot directors, but damn that was lame.
>>218988840hope someone got fired for that blunder
>>218973613There is a bug that sticks dead bugs to its back to appear unappetizing
Ryan Gosling is so hot in this movie. My heart would race every time he put his glasses on. He is so beautiful when he gets emotional. Hottest he's been in a movie. 2nd hottest is Lars And The Real Girl. Oh my goodness...
>>218988876They could. That's why Rocky says they're ready to repair his ship so he can return to Earth.
>>218989123XX or XY?
>>218973613Trees and flowers, they wear colors to attract pollinators.
>>218983444I was watching it and at 20 minutes in Ryan Gosling says "Oh my Science!"I stormed off the screening, it was packed and I was furious, so I didn't really see where I was going and stepped on some women's feet and she screamed "ouch!" and her husband stood up and was like "what the fuck are you doing?"I was super angry and just bulldozed through him without looking at his face and also made some kid's popcorn fall on the floor, at that point I just ran to the exit at full speed and started crying right outside the exit door.I felt like a retard because I just wasted 11$ and made a fool of myself in front of a bunch of people, this movie was the worst experience I had in a cinema in my entire life.
>>218989422kek
>>218989001>blunderLike the most trivial error.Some chapters ago the word “know” was accidentally omitted. Someone needs to be hanged.
>>218989224Asking me that in /tv/ when all anons assume everyone is XY....
>>218973613You could say any life form’s exterior is clothing. The boundary between itself and the environment. Fur is clothing. Scales are clothing. A carapace is clothing.Adapted to clothing though? humans. No way I survive the winters without a coat.
>>218989701post thighs
>>218989774sounds like a skill issue
>>218973681Rocky's outfit made noise when he moved so that was a cool purpose for having alien celebration clothes.
>>218989774>You could say any life form’s exterior is clothing.Is hair clothing? Are bald people naked?
>>218974683once again >>218971807
>>218990494I guess kind of, but no. Our hair bears no load and serves no function at least insofar as insulating us from elements since we’re already reliant on clothing and have been for god knows how long.
>>218989123The scene where he removes his sunglasses to put on those sexy wire frame glasses to see better was hotter than the Challengers makeout scene. To me.
>>218973267His name is Ryland Grace
>>218973337There are very minor differences. They did a good job designing Rocky in the movie. I was sure they’d make the alien some cute Ewok looking thing to go after the family demo
>>218992983his noises are incredibly cute, and using puppetry for him instead of full CGI makes his small hand movements and shaking adorable and realistic
>>218987836Either a camrip with petty bad video/audio + embedded ads in several places, or a somewhat better camrip with a giant watermark all over your screen throughout the whole movie. Just watch it in a theater, this is one of the rare cases where it's justified.
>>218978972It took years to get to Rocky’s home planet
>>218974024Because it is.
>>218978972>>218993337I'm fine with them not aging him up in the final scene. I can suspend my disbelief and pretend that he's ~5 years older (vs the earliest scene on Earth) when he first wakes up, and another ~5 years older by the time he reaches Rocky's planet. It's plausible that he could still look like present day Ryan Gosling, more or less. Meanwhile, 20-30 years have passed on Earth due to time dilation, as shown in the last scene with Stratt.The math probably isn't accurate, but it works well enough, conceptually.
I like how they show a Xenonite space suit when he visits Rocky's ship, that is some great attention to detail. If this movie was made by lazy hacks, they would've used regular space suit again, ignoring the fact that it was only designed for vacuum, and may not be able to handle the environment on the ship. And this was a movie-exclusive scene, apparently, not from the book.
>>218973309how did he survive 46 years of bombardment from the debris disk? rock is tough but its not magically impervious to the math behind kinetic bombardment
>>218994190they do say it's really hot in there, pressurized ass well since rocky starts sublimating on Grace's ship.
>>218994190I was worried about the radiation, though. Grace's suit would at least give him protection from that. Xenonite doesn't stop radiation and we know Rocky's ship is only shielded near the fuel tanks. I would have had him wear the space suit under the xenonsuit.
>>218996061I don't think his regular suit protects him from radiation either, only the Hail Mary does. What does protect him though - is not being exposed to it for too long.
>>218972847>looks nothing like this in the bookYou mean letter on a page? God I hope so, movie is another media lil bud
>>218973581Because we're the only ones who ate the fruit that made us realize that we were naked.
>>218994274A better question is, since rocky has no resistance to radiation nor even knowledge of it, how is he not dead from 46 years of exposure? Did he spend all that time nestled in the fuel compartment, shielded by astrophage?
Is it anywhere near as good as this kino?
>>218972847You talking about Rocky’s ship? I saw it in the trailer. Yeah, in the book it’s described as being like a convex asymmetric polyhedron. Flat panels everywhere. Looks like a nightmare In the trailer. What’s with all that shit poking out of it? I get the outside has some rails for the robot to navigate, but they wouldn’t/shouldn’t protrude that far from the craft.
