And I fully agree, it really impressed me. What a crazy ride!
I liked that Scott broke the silly unwritten Hollywood rules that usually apply for some typical scenes or conversations.
For example,
during the docking maneuver (powered by the Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS
) everything in the scene implied "uh oh, something's gonna happen", like the too-happy music, the warning signal that made the viewer think somethings wrong, the controllers reaction that looked alarmed for a second... but then everything's just...dandy!?
How dare you Ridley, someone had to die in that scene! Tzz!
And that is what I loved about it. The movie had some "standard scenes" we've all seen before - but it didn't follow the rules.
Thank you Ridley!
I'm tempted to give this a 10/10, because I can't think of anything that would justify a 9/10.
Edit: WAIT! I found something that - unfortunately - forces me to give it a 9/10, instead of a full deck.
The unnecessary censoring of "bad words". Like when they exchanged transmissions, his text said "Are you f____ng kidding me?" instead of, well, the real word.
This made me roll my eyes, I am sick of these hypocritical moral standards in the media and that really ruined a little bit of the movie for me.
