Today, a science fiction film, highly anticipated by the numerous fans of this genre, has arrived in Spanish cinemas.<\/p>\n

'Mercy', a science fiction film that addresses the possible judicial use of AI<\/a><\/rel>
\nA brief note on 'Predator: Badlands', a film with a yautja as the protagonist<\/a><\/rel><\/p>\n

Originally titled \"Project Hail Mary,\" but released in Spain as \"Proyecto Salvaci\u00f3n\" (Project Salvation) and in Latin America as \"Proyecto Fin del Mundo\" (Project End of the World), a rather curious title change, as my friend C\u00e9sar has pointed out<\/a> (I take this opportunity to recommend his blog<\/a>, where he publishes interesting film reviews). It's very strange that in a country like the United States they have no qualms about using the original title, and that in Catholic countries with such devotion to the Virgin Mary they decided to replace the original title<\/strong>. Perhaps the distributors found it too Catholic?<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Personally, I find this change unnecessary, especially considering that the film is based on a novel by Andy Weir<\/strong>, originally titled \"Project Hail Mary\" and published in Spain by Ediciones B as \"Proyecto Hail Mary.\" I don't know the reason for the novel's title<\/strong>, as the film doesn't explain why they named the mission that way. It's a detail I really missed.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, Weir was also the author of the novel \"The Martian\" (2011)<\/strong>, which was adapted into a film four years later by Ridley Scott and starred Matt Damon. A good film, by the way. Just like then, this new film stars an astronaut<\/strong>. I won't give any more details, since these days you can spoil a movie just by watching the trailers...<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

\"Project Hail Mary\" was directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, and stars Ryan Gosling<\/strong>, who gives a very good performance, with German actress Sandra H\u00fcller as the project's director (playing a woman who appears as cold as ice). I found the film very original in its approach<\/strong>, both in the design of one of its main characters (Rocky) and in the concept of the mission undertaken by its protagonist. This concept confronts us with one of the main challenges of space travel: time.<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I think this movie has everything to entertain science fiction fans:<\/strong> great special effects, clever details, and a well-told story. Despite being 141 minutes long, it didn't feel long at all. So, I recommend it.<\/strong> Here's the trailer:<\/p>\n
