Why Movies Just Don't Feel "Real" Anymore YouTube video by Like Stories of Old

Been thinking a lot about this fantastic video about "haptic" filmmaking, movies that have solidity and realness as opposed to the thin uncanniness of so many contemporary movies. This is something that Project Hail Mary really nails. It all *feels* solidly physical
