TheImpressiveX"Project Hail Mary" is bringing audiences to movie theaters in numbers the industry hasn’t seen for a non-franchise film since "Oppenheimer"
becausechemistryI read and enjoyed the book, but the movie improved on some story beats and trimmed some sciencey stuff that wouldn’t have translated well to the screen. Pretty great adaptation.
If you’re considering watching it, do try to avoid the trailers for it. I understand that you have to market the story, but introducing things in ads that should have been delightful surprises kinda stinks.
I managed to avoid all trailers, bought tickets for the family, got to our seats and guess what was showing in the early trailers? That’s right, clips from the movie spoiling Rocky and giving stupid facts.
Like WTF?
Don’t show promotional material for the movie you’re already in, let alone spoilery ones
The trick is to find a theatre that lets you reserve seats with your tickets and then show up about 10 minutes late to miss all the ads spoilers/trailers for other movies.
It’s one area where my procrastination paid off and gave a better experience instead of a worse one.
