I one hundred percent agree with Andy Weir regarding current slate of Star Trek - liked Strange New Worlds okay, Lower Decks is fine everything else is hard shit. He does not have to apologize to no one and also fuck Kurtzman for making Star Trek miserable knobfest for goobers.

I recently watched the film Project Hail Mary, and if you’re a fan of "hard" science fiction, this is a must-see. Based on the 2021 novel by Andy Weir (who wrote The Martian), it delivers that same high-stakes, science-driven energy. 🚀✨

In un prossimo futuro l’umanità scopre che dei microrganismi riescono a mangiarsi, letteralmente, il Sole e che lo stanno facendo anche nelle stelle vicino a noi. Tutte tranne una: Tau Ceti. I tempi per capire come contrastare questi astrofagi è poco, qualche decina di anni, e l’unico modo per capire come contrastarli è andare su Tau Ceti per studiare questa eccezione. Il viaggio dell’equipaggio umano, però, sarà di sola andata. I risultati dell’indagine, se riusciranno a scoprire il mistero, saranno spediti verso la terra da speciali sonde automatiche.

Il viaggio verso Tau Ceti riesce, in qualche modo, ma non siamo gli unici ad aver avuto la stessa idea. Gli alieni di 40 Eridani hanno avuto la stessa idea e un viaggio verso Tau Ceti finito allo stesso modo.

Solo la cooperazione fra le due specie potrà portare a qualcosa di utile.

Ecco, da questo punto di vista il film è molto bello: in un mondo dominato dalla competizione per far vedere chi ce l’ha più lungo, la cooperazione e la compassione qui, alla fine, hanno la meglio.

Fra le perplessità da cagacazzo 55enne che mi permetto di segnalare: le supercazzole per spiegare il funzionamento dei microrganismi divoratori di stelle mi sembrano molto inverosimili, nel senso che si potevano anche evitare. Non c’è bisogno di spiegare cose con altre cose impossibili. In Star Trek il teletrasporto funziona benissimo, non c’è bisogno di dare troppe spiegazioni. La cosa più grave, invece, è far scendere una sfera metallica con una catena da una astronave in orbita. Spero di aver visto male e di essermi perso un pezzo nell’azione della scena, ma se si lascia andare una sfera da una astronave in orbita, la sfera non cadrà affatto verso il pianeta, starà in orbita assieme a tutta l’astronave. Per farla scendere, una forza la deve spingere verso il basso.

Le spiegazioni di Luca Nardi vanno viste DOPO la visione del film.

Buona visione!

Project Hail Mary - Wikipedia

Habe gerade #DerAstronaut gesehen. Bisschen viel Tränendrüse, aber ansonsten eine gute #Verfilmung eines hervorragenden Buches.

Der Film ist nah am Text, das Buch bietet natürlich viel mehr Raum für die Charakterentwicklung und jede Menge penibel recherchiertes Tech-Blabla, das ich damals begierig verschlungen habe.

Der Astronaut war für mich eines der besten Sci-fi Bücher, die ich nach den Drei Sonnen gelesen habe, und - ich weiß nicht ob es euch auch so ging - Cixin Li hatte die Latte sehr hoch gelegt. War schwer danach noch was zu finden was halbwegs mithalten konnte. (Her mit euren Empfehlungen!)

Ryan Gosling ist ne gute Besetzung wenn man darüber hinwegsehen kann, dass er für zwei Jahre Koma deutlich zu durchtrainiert war. Die Synchronstimme von Sandra Hüller hingegen (sie selbst?) wirkte auf seltsame Weise wie ein Fremdkörper.

Der Soundtrack ist übrigens toll. Mein Gott, #GraciasALaVida von #MercedesSosa hat noch nie so hart gehittet.

Und am Ende Ike & Tina Turner, nein nicht mit Proud Mary 🤭 - sondern mit "Glory, Glory"

Jeg var lige en tur i biffen for at se #ProjectHailMary (som er fantastisk som lydbog) og blev absolut ikke skuffet! Mere sci-fi i bedste #AndyWeir / #TheMartian stil. Væsenligt kortere og lidt mere easy going end bogen, men sådan er det jo tit med filmatiseringer 🙂

I probably won't go to the cinema to watch Project Hail Mary. I only saw The Martian on my own TV, too, and I only watched it once.
The way Andy Weir builds his stories is rather boring to me. I'm not into science fiction because I like science and engineering (I do, but that's not the point), I'm interested in how human societies change through science and technology, and how future societies might be radically different from anything we have seen in the past. That's probably also why I like Star Trek much better than Star Wars.

I'm not watching SF films and TV series to see epic space battles, I want to see how people might live in a world where everything can be replicated for free (or at very low cost), where changing your sex or anything about your body is trivial, where today's religions have either crumbled into nothingness or evolved into something strange. I want to see today's society through a strange lens. I want to see what horrors will grow out of today's technologies and power structures if things just go on like usual for another 50 years. I watch and read SF to show me possible new worlds, possible futures, good and bad, not just some Robinson engineer techbro far away from Earth somehow saving the day or at least himself. That can be interesting, too, but only if the story also shows the future in which the story takes place as a strange and profoundly different world.

I will probably eventually download a pirated copy of Project Hail Mary and watch it, but I don't expect much of it. I don't understand why Andy Weir is so popular. He doesn't care about his human characters at all, he doesn't care about the world in which they live, he only cares about engineering challenges.

Besonders interessant ist bei diesem Film für viele Menschen die Tatsache, dass der Autor, auf dessen Buch dieser Film basiert, auch die Geschichte "Der Marsianer" geschrieben hat, eine weitere sehr interessante und packende Science-Fiction-Geschichte. #sfcd #HailMary #AndyWeir #sciencefiction

“I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own." —Andy Weir, the guy bitching about how terrible he thinks modern Star Trek is.

Guess I'm glad I saw Weir's little rants about sci-fi he hates before I spent my time reading his books.

‘Project Hail Mary’ Set for Manga Adaptation!! Check Out the First Teaser Image!!

Creators have revealed a new adaptation of Project Hail Mary, presenting another version of the story beyond its existing formats. Early details, including a preview image, suggest the project will…

Welcome to Moviz Ark!

I watched #Project_Hail_Mary the movie and am very disappointed. The movie was a fun comedy but not the #SciFi I expected. Hollywood isn’t ready to show any math or proper science talk on screen ­– even when that’s the very point of the story.

They never explained how they managed to get 20 Mkg of astrophage, the main character… isn’t that bright at all…
