We literally waited for him to finish whatever projects he was working on to do this.
So I can understand why Charles would then see this.
Guy gets stuck in space.
And that's the best part of the movie, is Rocky and Brian and Grace's relationship.
I thought in the book, it's done really well.
But even the first time we meet Rocky, or Grace meets Rocky,
It starts with, like, a scary movie stinger, right?
Like, he hits his hand on the glass, and, like, the music goes loud.
He's supposed to, like... It's like a jump scare, right?
But then slowly but surely, when they get more comfortable, when there's more lights, right?
The movie brings you into...
into their world together and you're like okay where does this go and i think throughout the story like there's a scene where he's like trying to whisper he's trying to like tell like oh rocky rocky can hear me no matter like how soft i am and they have this like banter that just goes throughout the film i thought that held the movie down and everything else was also excellent and so when you're like it's not a perfect movie it's not a perfect movie but it's a damn good one
The movie does a really good job of reorienting itself around Rocky and Grace versus the science of the book.
It does both.
There'll be pages of them like figuring out like how far Tau Ceti is from, and we have to do controlled burns.
And in the movie, they're just like, you know, it's Rocky and Grace working together.
to solve the problem.
I think that's the magic in the film and why I enjoyed it so much, man.
The scene, because again, it's all emotional in the book.
You're reading it, you can imagine these characters, whatever.
