I think you just got me into Iron Lung. I watched all of the content I could since I can’t buy the movie. 😭
Mark playing the game was so funny to me for some reason.
I need money for the sole purpose of getting this movie. It looks so good!! And I’ve been wanting to watch Project Hail Mary since I first saw the trailer but I didn’t go see it either. I think Ryan Gosling is the reason I noticed it to be honest.
I was just wondering all of your thoughts on the movies!
Glad to be of service, welcome to Iron Lung/PHM fandom >:)
I bought the movie as soon as it came out, and I can say that along with Project Hail Mary it's practically all I watch now when I want to watch a movie huehehe
They're both really good!! Hopefully you can buy them soon, because I think you'll really like them!
I will say that Iron Lung is a lot slower paced, but it does a great job of keeping you on the edge of your seat, and there's so many little details in the movie that connects all the lore together. It's funny, cause I was skeptical at first knowing the movie would be like the game, in a submarine the entire time, and I didn't think you could really make a movie out of that—proved me wrong big time lol. Was completely captivated the first time I saw it in theaters, from the visuals, the characters and the storytelling. You can really tell it was a passion project that was made from love with the attention to detail and how much time was spent on everything.
I haven't watched Mark's game play of it in a while, but I watched SMii7Y play it when the movie was coming out, and it's a little crazy to me how much the movie expanded on the concept. I think they did such an amazing job capturing what the game was trying to convey and adding more depth to it, and I just love the Iron Lung universe overall with its sci-fi, dystopian nature. :)
Also the ✨️marktiddies✨️ as a bonus /j
With Project Hail Mary, I actually wasn't all that interested at first until I saw people smushing it together with Iron Lung online. Then I kept seeing videos of Rocky and Grace as memes, and I ended up falling down that rabbit hole as well cause they're such cute dorks and I couldn't resist. Though I had to wait to buy it cause I didn't have anyone that wanted to see it in theaters with me, big sad.
I absolutely love the way the format in which the story is told, with flashbacks of Grace's memories during the project and how it lead up to where he was in the present—love when movies do that shit, gets me hooked immediately. And of course the visuals are stunning, the scene with the petrova line and the view of Adrian is so pretty, and THE SCORE god the score is so fucking good, gets me everytime with the "Time Go Fishing" scene. But it's composed by Daniel Pemberton, so that's to be expected (A little off topic but I can't wait to see what he does for Beyond the Spider-Verse I'm so excited for that movie huehehe)
I'm not a huge Ryan Gosling fan and have only watched a few of his movies (The Fall Guy and Barbie from what I can remember off the top of my dome) but I heard someone say that there's a specific Ryan for everyone, and Ryland Grace was definitely that for me lmao
Anyway, my thoughts are a mess and I don't think I did very good writing it out, but I didn't want to make this very long. Overall I would highly recommend watching them!! I love them both so much, genuinely my two fav movies atm. And if you ever want to talk about them or anything involving them I'd be more than happy to! :D
I hope you have a good day/night as well!!
