With the disaster that was Nolan's The Odyssey. Can we all agree that pic related is the best movie of 2026, so far?
>>222485792It was actually fine. The early basedence parts are the most boring and I guess you could call them Reddit lite, but really the movie wasn’t very Reddit.
>>222485792Did The Goose save Cinema again? Genuinely asking, I haven't seen it.
>>222485893Hail Mary was Gosling kino and worth watching. It was a little predictable at times, but it was cute, funny, and memorable.
>>222485792amaze amaze amaze <3
>>222485792Reddit: the movie
>>222486165I still agree sadly
>>222486165you know who you are. you're gonna do great <3
>>222486165Name a better movie from this year?
You can tell it's good because all of the complaints are just buzzwords without any substance or detail >>222486165
>redit the mobie
>>222486133Cute, funny, lacking in a sense of loss or sacrifice or low points with real consequence which I think these space movies need in order to be the most effective. I like it but wouldn't call it the best of the subgenre
>>222486210hokum
>>222486198What>>222486210>>222486180 This is meI cant name one yet>>222486246Its a fine movie just very heavy handed and I dont like the source material
>>222485792No. The Drama is.
>>222485893It's 2026's F1.
>>222486384>Whatnothing
>>222485792So far this year but I'm ready for Gen Urobuchi to come in with the steel chair, I'm not sure the west will get it before 27 though
>>222485792It's Obsession
The older I get the more I appreciate heartwarming wholesome content, and this was up there. I’m sick of sarcasm and pessimism.I recently watched Durrells in Corfu, too. I need more…
>>222485893Saved 2026 but nowadays cinema is terrible so...
>>222486556<3 Scrubs and (for me) just started with Ted Lasso (loving it but fuck subscription bullshit)
>>222485893It’s very good If you can see it in a second run theater, do that. Amazing visuals that deserve to be seen on a big screen
>>222486384>very heavy handedAbout?
i like this movie and rocky :D
>>222486851
>>222486500>Gen UrobuchiEhh.>>222486802>Amazing visualsHardly.>>222486663>Project Hail Mary saved 2026>nowadays cinema is terrible Watch better movies, pleb.
>>222485893I thought he put on a pretty good performance in this movie. But do people here actually like this actor or are they just trolling?I see people posting his anger reaction as well as his lying in the snow gif / webm from that Bladerunner movie very often. Not sure they're doing it as tribute to his acting or as an insult.
>>222487132Holy newfag Batman!
>>222485863No, that would be Hokum.
>>222487236Meant to reply to OP.
>>222487132When that shot from 2049 is posted, the anon is expressing an emotion. Not really saying anything about the movie or the actor one way or the other
>>222487284
>>222487132The Goose is Beloved here, anon.
>>222486165>Reddit: the movie
>>222485792How tf is this still not pirateable?
>>222486210Obsession
While I like the movie, there's some massive flaws that I can't overlookThe reddit humor is very real. You never feel the character is in danger or afraid at any point because of it.The scenes with least amount of jokes, is precisely the scene when Rocky saves the ship, and you do feel like Rocky is in danger, proving my point.But I can stomach the constant jokes if I think this is a movie for 12 years olds (and it is)Another thing that bugs me: There's like SEVEN SCENES of Gosling crying, holy fucking shitIt's like they wanted to contrast the constant jokes with emotional moments, over and over The CGI espectacle feels mundane at this day an age we don't need 2 minutes of VFX particles and cloud physics but I guess you can't help it on this type of movieI loved the ending and to me, a good ending saves a bad movie and a bad ending tanks a good movie.This was a meh movie, saved by it's good ending.Love me a good ending.
>>222486340Nah, fuck your nihilism. Space kino should be aspirational.
>>222487789Plenty of other space kinos are still aspirational while, say, allowing for the deaths of characters who were developed enough that you cared about them, and avoiding the sense that everything worked out a bit too perfectly for everyone. It's kind of a glaring issue that in PHM when it's ~24 years later and Earth gets the probes and the taumoeba, there would have been untold suffering and possibly billions of deaths by then, but they don't show or mention any of it because it might affect the pure happy ending they wanted
>>222486340billions died
>>222487900The movie is about Grace finding purpose and friendship after having the fate of humanity foisted onto him against his will. It doesn't even matter that humanity recieved his message, because he could never know the outcome since he sacrificed his return trip to save Rocky and his people. He's spending the rest of his days hoping everything went well back home, and he's coping by doing what he can for the Eridians. His unwillingness to go back home also implies he's scared of finding out just how fucked Earth is.
>>222485863>basedence
>>222487900>but they don't show or mention any of itdo you really think the bitch's aircraft carrier is purposefully sailing through the north pole... or are they at the least frozen part of the ocean?I'd go through all the other shit that went wrong, but you haven't watched the movie, so it wouldn't matter.
>>222487789based and trekpilled
I hate "sci-fi" movies that use space as a back drop for some gay story about humanity.
>>222488345>doesn't even matter that humanity recieved his message, because he could never know the outcome since he sacrificed his return tripThe return trip was never intended. It was only possible because Rocky gave him some of his extra fuel (at the cost of taking a bit longer to get home).
>>222486210Triumpf des Willens, 90th Anniversary Edition
>>222486340>the deuteragonist didn't ultimately fucking die when he risked his life>there are no stakes in this movie and everything sucks!
>>222488430every story is about humanity
>>222487691the book is more balanced in the rocky/protag partnership. both are highly competent(scientist and engineer buddy movie) and that's why they were put on their respective ships in their roles. i don't know why gosling had to downplay the protags abilities so much.
>>222488489The point is the sci-fi backdrop is completely interchangeable. It's nothing more than set dressing and a MacGuffin to drive the plot forward.
>>222486165crypto-redditor: the post
>>222487691You will come around. You are destined to unconditionally love this movie from beginning to end. I know.
>>222488818>MacGuffinI have noticed that every single post which mentions this term is invariably retarded.
what was up with that self video journaling situation? does the author have a fetish for that or something?
>>222489742>what was up with that self video journaling situation?this is standard practice
>>222489742Beyond it being standard, both books are famous for internal monologues and barely any dialogue said out loud, they had to adapt it somehow
>>222485792Project Hail Mary is not only the best film of this year so far but also the best film of this decade so far.
>>222489657Because almost all of them misuse the term. The One Ring is a macguffin. The Ark of the Covenant is a macguffin. I have no fucking idea what anon is referring to as a macguffin in this movie.
Reddit the movie written by reddit the novelist directed by reddit the director starring reddit the man
>>222489976a macguffin is an object central to the plot that, itself, does nothing. the one ring and ark are not macguffins. the maltese falcon is the gold standard of macguffins.
>>222485792for me its this one yes, MOTU, spiderman, havent watched the odyssey and wont watch it
>>222485792A bit reddit, and you could tell it was filmed for streaming services more than a cinematic release. But I had fun and the Grace-Rocky friendship was sovlful. 7/10
>>222488610>I don't know why gosling had to downplay the protags abilities so much.This is a writing choice to make him even more of an aw shucks everyguy because actual smart people are unrelatable to 90 IQ viewers. They allow him the FUCK YEAH SCIENCE scenes as long as he seems generally confused and blunders around until he has some burst of intuition. If they presented him calmly and intelligently thinking problems through like he does in the book, he'd go from nerd (complimentary) to nerd (derogatory), or at least that's what the suits think. Can't have our protagonist make people feel dumb.Same reason they made the cast in Armageddon a bunch of blue collar folksy idiots
>>222489976>The One Ring is a macguffin.What? No it's not, it actively influences and CHANGES the actions of the characters around himBy definition that can't be a mcguffin
>>222489976>The One Ring is a macguffinits literally the opposite of one
>>222489895Wish they'd adapted the bit where Grace is relived him really liking kids is because he's a teacher and not a pedo.
>>222489997>written by reddit the novelistI dunno, would a reddit novelist allow himself to be interviewed by chudical grifter?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ezZ_QGBpaDo
>>222490460Novelist is a product of 2008-2013 reddit, which was a more libertarian/free speech vibe. The Martian in particular is extremely reddit-humored and some of that persists into PHM
>>222485792This is the same shit as the fucking martian but with le hecking cute reddit mascot, is completely empty of themes and the protagonist ends the same way he starts there's no character arc
>he's the smartest guy in the room>he's the funniest guy in the room>he's the nicest guy in the room>he's the hottest guy in the roomperhaps the worst movie protagonist of all time?
>>222485792One of the best movies of the decade
>>222485792>be straight White man>globohomo world government led by girl boss old hag press gangs you into saving their Diverse™ world cuz obviously only a White man can save the world>their logic is that you're an incel anyway that has no place in society so you have nothing to lose>you save it anyway like the cuck you are and stay with the xeno scum cuz humans are worseit's even more cucked than pic related
>>222492491Gosling really is the Tom Hanks of our time
>>222492491It's Goose's most based personality to date. Fuck humanity and fuck Earth, I wouldn't want to go back too.
>>222485792Reddit: Le Reddit
>>222492532>Fuck humanity and fuck Eartheven George Floyd?
>>222486165>wokeslop dei reddit: the movie>movie of the yearReally makes you think
>>222485893Yes, he put in a great performance and the movie is fun, engaging and beautifully shot.
>>222491205Supremely based opinion. I completely agree with you that Project Hail Mary is one of the best films of the decade.
>>222492546>even George Floyd?I said fuck humanity, St Floyd is a deity
>>222488456Yes but the return trip became possible and he sacrificed it
>>222490898Technically true. But only because for most of the movie he is the only person in the room.He does have flaws, like autism and cowardice and a bad fashion sense.
>>222485792this says a lot about the year and the decade again
>>222485792It was a waste of time
>>222493000>cowardiceIt was completely out of character for how he was portrayed before and after his coward moment. He never had a problem to rise up to the challenge that is presented.
Can someone explain to me why all the LGBTQ+ tumblrina queers and trannies are latching on to this movie like crazy?I have a fujoshi friend and she's rewatched it 8 times and spams shipping art on a daily basis. She's genuinely obsessed and somehow thinks they are gay despite the alien not having a gender.I watched it and there's no romantic implications at all, I don't fucking get it.
>>222485792Mediocre.
>>222485792What's the story about?>there is a problem>we find a solution>we implement it>any problems along the way? we just solve them without any costNice story. It was a movie about an all-knowing reddit scientist and his intelligent doggo having a fun time in space.
>>222493487"Aromantic Asexuals" (AroAce) is a thing in those circles at the moment. They will latch onto any couple that fits somewhat and ship them.
>>222493487They do this with everything. They cant just enjoy something for what it is
>>222493487they are very mentally ill and incapable of observing reality impartially. she likes the feeling of them being gay, so they were gay.
>>222485792It’s blatantly an interstellar rip off
>>222493853With 90% less pathos
>>222493853Yeah, both movies take place in space
>>222485792It was garbage tho. Goose can't act and the woman was shitty character.
>>222486246>it's good because all of the complaints are just buzzwords without any substance or detail>>222486133>Hail Mary was Gosling kino and worth watching. It was a little predictable at times, but it was cute, funny, and memorable.>>222486340Etc
>>222485893I liked when the mixed couple died in a explosion
>>222493487Fetishists have a inability to NOT put their fetish into something, if you show the movie to a guy into femdom he would've said the german scientist lady was fucking him on the side, in this example the woman has a fetish for gay men so anytime men have a normal platonic friendship she HAS to put her fetish in
>>222489997>>222490898>>222493939this is a pro Goose board.
>>222493714>Aromantic Asexualsso: friends?
>>222485792the odyssey was better than this movie
>>222493853getting some boss baby vibes off this...
>>222493853Yeah but actually good
>>222494251im into femdom and didnt think that, you my friend got debunked
>>222495015Friends isnt special enough to make it your whole identity. Virgin/Incel is too negative. So they invented being "aroace"
>>222495015Imagine a loveless sexless marriage, but without the preamble.
I didn't notice until my last rewatch that when Rocky is touring Grace around the Blip-A he shows him their own mission crest with the "names" of all 23 Eridians that were a part of the mission, it's a cool moment
>>222485792Trying to not sound corny but it's not just the best movie of 2026, but one of the best in modern cinema Go watch the director's commentary and behind the scene stuff, it's so well made and full of soul which is so rare in Hollywood these days
>>222486210there are no good movies released in tje 2020s except babylon (2022), cinema is dead/thread
>>222486165that is guardians of the galaxy 2014, and it WILL ALWAYS BE.
>>222488472It would have been enough to have spent some more time with and developed Yao and Ilyukhina as supporting characters in the flashbacks. This would also make the funeral service scene more effective, when their deaths are shown to motivate Grace to do his best at completing the mission. The way it is, it's emotionally impactful for him, but not for the audience as much >>222488404They could have had a nonzero amount of acknowledgement that if the mission succeeds, minimum 24 years still will have passed before they can begin to fix it and to some extent Earth is still gonna be fucked either way. But they don't even have one line pointing this out. Instead they act more like shit will hit the fan in 30 years but we don't really have to worry until then
reddit movie
>>222499100This post is extremely low quality.
>>222499533like the movie
>>222498046Nosferatu was good though
>>222489657Classic post from a real MacGuffin.
>>222485792is gud mobie i enjoy
>>222494251>a guy into femdom he would've said the german scientist lady was fucking him on the sideIt's kind of funny that in the book, the two scientists that die are both extremely autistic and they both thought he's fucking Stratt
>>222494251As a femdom enthusiast I don't think she was fucking him in the story, but I wish she did.
>>222497064cool
it's reddit and it's good
>>222488610>but muh bookretardbut also I thought the opposite. The book make Rocky even more of an useless moron than the movie. Grace has to save his life twice, single-handedly comes up and executes all plans, saves his entire race. I don't remember exactly what was the last drop by be the end I was wondering why even have Rocky here. He's just a funny pet at this point, as opposed to the classic opposite buddies dynamic where one needs the other.Book Grace sucks too. By the last quarter I was very annoyed with Grace as a character when I realized he is the author's autistic STEMcel self insert. This is how this guy views himself irl, and if you're the STEM field you know well the type. He writes Grace constantly correcting people irl and spouting off science factoids because he does that.It soured the whole thing for me. The movie is good because they deleted Weir's annoying ass personality.
>>222489742I don't know but the part where he lets Rocky do one was cute
>>222503945>builds adrian collector>builds breeder tanks (glossed over in the movie)>redesigns the ship's generator during the first taumoeba outbreak (plotline completely removed in the movie)>nigger-rigs the beetles as a makeshift propulsion system after the ship loses all its fuel from the first taumoeba outbreak (again removed)>repairs the ship after it gets fucked up (skipped in the movie)You could make an argument for the movie but my man Rocky definitely pulls his weight in the book
>>222505005except from the collector, all of those are Grace figuring out the problem and the solution. Rocky is a lab assistant at best.
>>222497691give some director commentary and behind the scenes facts, im interested.
>>222487132this has to be bait
>>222485792for some reason the karaoke scene specifically always makes me cry. why?
>ObsessionActual reddit movie overrated by simps who want to fuck the 4/10 female lead
I liked it, what surprised me though was it managed to not cause me to feel boredom even though it was on the longer side.

>>222505336Congrats anon you might possess a soul
>>222493487These people are so utterly dominated by their pathetic insecurities they've never experienced genuine friendship in their entire lives, so they assume that every single close friendship they see in tv/movies is some "repressed romance" or some shit. It's infuriating
