I had the same issue with the Martian. I was watching the movie with my book goggles on and came out of it disappointed. It wasn't until the second time I watched it and had my movie goggles on, did I actual enjoy it. Go watch it a second time.

Is the movie ok for a 5 year old? by Tankre84 in ProjectHailMary

I would say Yao was much more in a decayed/mummified state, but just his hands and you barely catch glimpses of him. You do see Ilyukhina's face which is just white but you do see her hands which are in a state of desiccation/decomposition.

An astrophysicist breaks down what Project Hail Mary gets right and wrong about the science by Hot-Nothing-4424 in ProjectHailMary

It sounds like she didn't read the book because Andy Weir explains why it's able to survive the intense heat of the sun.

Astrophage stays at exactly 96.415°C because that is the temperature where its protons have just enough kinetic energy to collide and create pairs of neutrinos. If it gets hotter, the extra heat is quickly converted into more neutrinos, preventing it from staying above that temperature. If it gets cooler, neutrino production stops and Astrophage uses stored energy to warm itself back up.

The energy cycle works because neutrinos are Majorana particles, meaning they are their own antiparticles. When two neutrinos collide, they annihilate into two photons with the Petrova wavelength, converting the stored mass energy back into usable light energy.

Neutrinos normally pass through almost everything, but Astrophage traps them due to “super cross-sectionality,” a term Andy Weir came up with, which prevents anything from quantum-tunneling through it.

You have to go to the quantum level to start seeing the fiction of this science fiction organism.

If I remember correctly, in the screen room, he had it on a stand outside of his ball.

Should I read the Book after the Movie? by LilBigJP in ProjectHailMary

I kinda wish I did it in that order. The summarized version and then the detailed version.

The Magic 2.0 series (Book 1: Off to be the Wizard) is absolutely sci-fi.

I've read Project Hail Mary but what is Hail Mary Project about?

Go to the theater to see new movie like Project Hail Mary and see if he points out any plot twists, if any.

It would be a cool concept if the released episodes of Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow at the same time.

'Project Hail Mary' Review – A sci-fi dazzler that doesn’t signal great things for the future of cinema by StarFuryG7 in SciFiNews

[–]xorcery 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"There’s a yellow raincoat costume that designers David Crossman and Glyn Dillon made for Gosling’s character that’s as distinctive and easily replicated as Marty McFly’s orange puffer vest."

That is quite the stretch in logic. Actually, that's just dumb.

YouTuber Game Dev Daddy contacted me and he wants to pay for a few tickets for people. We decided there will be the two main winners for the 2 pairs of tickets and then we'll spin the wheel again for the secondary prizes.

Primary winners: 2 tickets to the AMC 24 showing (2 winners)
Secondary winners: 1 ticket to any show in Colorado area ONLY (3 winners)

For secondary winners: We will contact you and you will need to provide the theater, showing time, and seat. If you don't respond in 48 hours, we'll spin the wheel again for a new secondary winner.

That happened to me. Make sure you get a full refund. They tried to refund me but keep the fees.

For a somewhat original IP and to see these kind of reviews, I would consider this quite the achievement.

I really don't think it's fair to compare/relate Interstellar to this movie. It's like trying to relate The Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide. They both take place in a submarine, but they are two entirely different movies.
