Project Hail Mary

I went in knowing the audio book very well

and my brain will just not shut up, I sat there analysing dramatic structure and character etc

and after a short while I understood enjoying this is like enjoying The Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy

each version for different media is different, they aren't just all the same scenes

but the story is the same 🙂

the visualisations of many of the scenes was stunningly beautiful

story was engrossing

we left the cinema wanting more

5 hobbits

miss seagoon said ryan may get an oscar for it, I dunno, I do think effects etc will win

what I would have liked to see from the audiobook

more focus on the negative events and how they positive think and work together to solve the problems

more focus on how and why they needed each other

that can be in the extended movie version

I'm going to see it this weekend! Looking forward to it. Listened to the audiobook too - really enjoyed it and I reckon Ryan Gosling is a great choice
