1
00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:07,320
Speaker 1: Spreit the flick with below shade. When girls want to

2
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:13,119
Speaker 1: have fun, they go to see Ryan Gosling. How they

3
00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,880
Speaker 1: do Indeed, and look, you get a lot of Ryan

4
00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:20,520
Speaker 1: Gosling in Project Hail Mary. He's in every scene and

5
00:00:21,079 --> 00:00:24,479
Speaker 1: he does really carry this film. So it is based

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:27,840
Speaker 1: on a book by Andy Weer, who people might know

7
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,440
Speaker 1: best selling author of The Martian, which I also turned

8
00:00:31,480 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 1: into a movie starring Matt Damon, was nominated for a

9
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:36,639
Speaker 1: bunch of Oscars at the time. And so these two

10
00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:42,720
Speaker 1: films are actually pretty similar stylistically and thematically. Dude goes

11
00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,360
Speaker 1: to space, has to solve a lot of problems. Will

12
00:00:46,400 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 1: he survive in the end? Who knows? Basically similar The

13
00:00:50,159 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: difference with Project hal Mary is it's also kind of

14
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 1: an end of the world kind of movie. But it

15
00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: starts with Ryan Gosling's character Ryland Grace, waking up from

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:03,040
Speaker 1: suspended animation on a spaceship. He's got sort of straggly hair,

17
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,040
Speaker 1: a bushy beard, doesn't have any motors, skills or can't talk.

18
00:01:07,080 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 1: He's kind of all groggy, and he has no memory.

19
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:12,560
Speaker 1: He has no idea why he's on this spaceship. The

20
00:01:12,600 --> 00:01:15,760
Speaker 1: audience doesn't either, and so he watches, he stumbles around,

21
00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: tries to figure out what's going on, realizes in space,

22
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 1: gets a bit of a shock about that. One finds

23
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:24,560
Speaker 1: some vackpacked vodka hits that pretty hard the first the

24
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,600
Speaker 1: first couple of hours, as he would. And then so

25
00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: the film is then sort of told through flashbacks where

26
00:01:30,319 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: we go back in his memory that are kind of

27
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: a bit jumbled. As we start to piece together who

28
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 1: this guy is, what he's doing on the spaceship, we

29
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: learn that once upon a time he was a high

30
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:44,120
Speaker 1: school teacher who was teaching his kids about this scientific

31
00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:47,920
Speaker 1: discovery of these space microbes that were found to be

32
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: eating the sun. So they're going to basically kill the

33
00:01:50,440 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 1: Earth because the Sun was going to die. He was

34
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:54,560
Speaker 1: a high school teacher. What's he going to do about it?

35
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 1: But then in comes Sandra Hulla from Zone of Interest.

36
00:01:59,520 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: She's read wonder Flactress, Incredible actress, and so she's the

37
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,280
Speaker 1: head of this task force who's aimed at saving the

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 1: world from these space microbes. And she goes to Ryan

39
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: Gosling's characters as mate, before you were a teacher, you

40
00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:15,480
Speaker 1: are actually a renowned scientist who got shunned by the

41
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,959
Speaker 1: scientific community because of your radical ideas about life in space. Well,

42
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,240
Speaker 1: we think maybe those radical ideas were right. So we

43
00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 1: need you to come on board. We've got a sample

44
00:02:24,240 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: of these space microbes. We need you to test them.

45
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,720
Speaker 1: You're the only person who can do it if you

46
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: believe that. Then and then, somehow, somehow, he ends up

47
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,280
Speaker 1: on the space mission, and I'm not going to tell

48
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:38,360
Speaker 1: you why, because that's one of the big scenes towards

49
00:02:38,360 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 1: the end of the film. And so then we flash back,

50
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: we go back to the spaceship and he's like he's

51
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: starting to piece together. Okay, I'm here. I've got a

52
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: job to do. I've got to travel to this distant

53
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: sun that hasn't been eaten by these space microbes and

54
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 1: find out why they're not eating this sun, take that

55
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:56,079
Speaker 1: information back to Earth, save everybody. I'm a hero. Starts

56
00:02:56,160 --> 00:02:59,800
Speaker 1: leaning into us, starts leading into He's heroic dude, naturally

57
00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,119
Speaker 1: very charming Ryan Gosling. But he's not doing it alone.

58
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:07,200
Speaker 1: When he's out there in interstellar space, alien spaceship rocks

59
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: up and there is a you know, sort of first

60
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: contact with an alien life form, a sort of a

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,280
Speaker 1: spider like creature made of rocks guess what. They call

62
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:20,160
Speaker 1: him Rocky and so, and they have to learn to communicate,

63
00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,919
Speaker 1: and it turns out that Rocky's planet was also being

64
00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: threatened by these space micros. They decide to kick up

65
00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: team up, this original odd couple, and it's a very

66
00:03:37,680 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 1: sweet bromance. They really collaborate very well together. There's a

67
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: lot of science in this film. They don't sugarcoat the science.

68
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:47,800
Speaker 1: But what I will say about it is it's one

69
00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 1: of those movies. It's a crowd pleaser, but it doesn't

70
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,480
Speaker 1: really bear a lot of scrutiny. So if you really

71
00:03:54,520 --> 00:03:56,640
Speaker 1: start to think, hang on a minute, it's eleven light years,

72
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:58,480
Speaker 1: how does it take the travel eleven light years? And

73
00:03:58,480 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 1: then hang on, how long is it going to do this?

74
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: You start don't need to be doing that. I'm a

75
00:04:03,320 --> 00:04:05,920
Speaker 1: simple man. That sounds like my kind of movie. If

76
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,400
Speaker 1: you're a simple man, this is the movie for you. So, yeah,

77
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: it looks some of the stuff doesn't make a lot

78
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: of sense. It's directed by the guys that did the

79
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:16,440
Speaker 1: Lego movie, Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. I had a

80
00:04:16,440 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: couple wrapping my head around that one. This The other night,

81
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: when I was watching the Oscars how many. I'm just

82
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,440
Speaker 1: Ken's in space. There's a lot of men in space

83
00:04:24,480 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 1: in this movie. But it's very enjoyable. I'm going to

84
00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:30,240
Speaker 1: give it. It looks beautiful as well. Looks like it's Interstellar

85
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:32,799
Speaker 1: for dummies. I described it. That's good. Three and a half,

86
00:04:32,920 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 1: three and a half starts worth a look. I reckon
