Project Hail Mary Review
(Blows the dust off the review template, coughs melodramatically)
I don’t know if it’s my age, movies these days, the cost of moviegoing, or the overall movie experience, but I have haven’t been looking forward to seeing a movie like this in a long time (probably 2019 with Avengers: Endgame). But after reading Andy Weir’s book, and the subsequent announcement of the movie, I’ve been quite excited for this one.
I did not reread the book before watching the movie, so I might have some stuff wrong from the book. This was intentional. I didn’t want to spend a lot of brainpower comparing the two. I will be rereading it shortly.
Spoiler-free takeaway: Go see it. If The Martian was your jam, this will be as well. It’s worth seeing on the big screen. I have a few minor quibbles with the adaptation from the book, but I understand them and they didn’t bother me in the moment.
