Hail Mary project
Waking up aboard a spaceship to find himself the only crew member still alive, Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), an amnesiac middle school science teacher, wakes up as the only crew member still alive, becoming an unlikely astronaut. Worse still, he is Earth’s last hope for survival, sent into space in search of a way to stop a strange phenomenon that is devouring the sun itself – and almost all the other stars in the sky. It would be an impossible task alone, but fortunately Ryland has backup in the form of Rocky (James Ortiz), the first alien humanity has ever met, a five-legged stone creature who communicates in song.
Adapted from the book of the same name by Andy Weir (author Martian), Hail Mary project It’s a great bit of survival drama and hard science fiction, but the real heart of the film is the growing friendship between Ryland and Rocky. Get ready to fall in love with this sexy rock spider, hold my belly my friends.
Avatar: Fire and Ashes
Receipt from 2022 Water roadNa’vi human soldier Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family are in mourning after the death of their eldest son, Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña), leading his wife Neytiri (Zoe Saldaña) down a dark path. As the family struggles to stay together, colonial human forces led by Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang) form a deadly alliance with a fire-worshiping Na’vi tribe ruled by the nihilist Farang (Oona Chaplin) – who aims to destroy to spite the Na’vi god, Ewa. James Cameron’s unimaginably ambitious epic returns with a visually stunning outing that takes viewers through stunning new areas of the green forest moon Pandora. Fire and ash Not to jump to the point, but thankfully you can enjoy the entire trilogy (for now; Avatar 4 and 5) are planned on Disney+.
Ready or Not 2: Here I come
the first ready or not From 2019 it was a sleeper hit. It’s a gory film with a sense of humor, playing with the fears and uncertainties of marriage and joining a new family, as bride Grace (Samara Weaving) falls into the grip of the deadly traditions of her fiancé’s clan. This sequel, directed by co-directors Matt Bettinelli Olpin and Tyler Gillette, picks up right after the first film ended, reuniting Grace with her estranged sister Faith (Kathryn Newton) — just in time for her to be sucked into another killing game against a cabal of billionaires and aristocrats looking to fill the power vacuum left almost entirely by Grace’s kin. Schlocky, a horror-comedy, is elevated by the presence of Sarah Michelle Gellar in an almost anti-Buffy role. Ready or not 2 Not high art but a hell of a lot of fun.
They will kill you
if Ready or not 2 It’s schlock, then They will kill you is a step up the ladder – an almost exploitation-level hack-and-slasher that takes liberal inspiration from Sam Raimi’s original game evil dead trilogy and breaks it down in an unusual way with the epic action saga of one man against a tower directed by Gareth Evans. Raid.
