7 hours ago7 hr Send Help - a Sam Raimi "dark comedy thriller?" Should be right up my alley.--first quarter or third was decent enough, setting stuff up.--the rest fell flat for me. It's not that it's not slickly made (maybe a little too slick), with some of Raimi's camera funworks - and the two leads did more than decent acting, but I couldn't stand EITHER character at all. They were both horrible people (not even "love to hate" types) and maybe that was supposed to be darkly comical but largely I was simply annoyed. The annoyance grew and grew and by 3/4 mark I was over it and I would've killed both them myself if I was on their island. The ending didn't satisfy either.--the cgi boar looked terrible, but that might have been OTP on purpose to be "funny?" I miss Raimi's practical work. Oh well.I was oddly reminded a couple times of the 1989 movie War of the Roses - not in plot/setting but the chr dynamics/antipathy. Except WotRoses was more dark-amusing.======Project Hail Mary apparently went to MGM+ first, which I happen to sub to - so I get to rewatch it, in whole or in part, as often as I want for a while. Yay. it's such a feel good movie. Still gaming with my 9900k/2080ti/32 ram. One day I suppose a game may inspire me to finally upgrade. Maybe.
