Project Hail Mary

I forgot to mention I saw Project Hail Mary on the plane during last month’s vacation, and thought it was excellent. I liked the score, too, with its sort of galactic hymn-and-world music approach.

It’s funny because if this was made in 1983 we’d have a top-five all-time Jerry Goldsmith score, but times have changed and so have audience sensibilities.

Lord and Miller definitely have an approach that works, but to think they tried to make Solo full of this kind of jokiness—that’s insane.
