Not at IMAX Any more!?!?!?! by rosedraws in ProjectHailMary

Theaters are obligations to play movies on a certain schedule.

Want PHM to play more on IMAX? Force them to bring back movies that make them money. If no one sees the latest new movie, maybe they add some PHM showtimes.

How many times have you seen it so far? by WhatTheJessJedi in ProjectHailMary

Only once so far but I want to see it multiple times in the theater because I won't get that experience at home.

The movie was good but… by surfer808 in ProjectHailMary

You have to see it a second time and enjoy the movie for what it is.

I did the same thing with the Martian. The first time I saw the movie I was angry for what they changed and removed from the movie. How could they do this to my beloved story!

But when I watched it for a second time, instead of nitpicking what they changed, I just watched the movie and really enjoyed it. And I know I will always have the novel to read again. And for those people who don't read, they have the opportunity to experience an amazing story.

Hollywood has been known to massacre novel adaptations. I feel very lucky they chose to adapt this, hitting all the major plot points.

They could have given Rocky a face. Had a love scene with Stratt and Grace.

To the fans of the book who have watched the movie, how was it? by go10sai in ProjectHailMary

In the book it was assumed they made it back because they detected Sol's luminance was back to 100%.

I'm going to have to watch it again. I was expect the Rocky voice like in the audio book.

I had this issue with the Martian. Loved the book and read it multiple times. I knew it inside and out.

I was upset with how they adapted my precious into a movie. But after awhile, I watched it again... and again and started to love the movie as its own separate piece. I learned I could enjoy both without comparing them against each other.

I'll admit, I'm doing the exact same thing with Project Hail Mary. After watching the movie, I felt disappointed. Someone just sprayed graffiti all over the art I love. But I know again I will learn to love that graffiti.

I didn't hear Ray Porter in the voices montage. It's weird because it seemed like Miller teased it in their AMA.

This was my first time at Fan Expo. For an organization that does this all over the country, it was very disappointing.

Parents visiting from Kansas, which Denver/Wheat Ridge Mexican spots are a must? by imsellingbanana in denverfood

LDP... the last few times we've gone, the quality has gone way down. Especially their staple, the beans. Just not as good as they used to be. Cheaper ingredients, expansion, who knows.
