Project Hail Mary

“Every time I go to the movies, I remember how much I love going to the movies. This one is a real crowd pleaser…treat yourself and see it in IMAX — or better yet — *4DX*”

“My bf told me it was based on a true story WHICH WAS CRUEL AND HE DIDNT TELL ME IT WSSNT UNTIL AFTER?!!!!!”

“Ok, hear me out. Our kids generally don’t get to see big budget set piece movies because they are too scary, violent, confusing or otherwise emotionally manipulative in a way that feels bad for them. Despite the stakes of this movie (humanity) and the two dead astronauts at the beginning, we watched this first and then decided everyone would enjoy it and it would spark great questions and discussion. For example, the funerals for the astronauts are emotionally honest and handled well. (worth watching first to find your threshold but spoilers that are worth knowing to reassure the little ones: rocky doesn’t die, there’s a happy ending and the ship doesn’t crash)”

“Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), venturing outside of his spacecraft, is surrounded by the shimmering particles of an alien swarm. For a moment, the ominous becomes transcendent.”

“I listened to the book and liked it but LOVED the movie! It is definitely one to see in theaters because the collective effervescence is off-the-charts! I haven’t seen a theater so packed since pre-Covid 🥹🥹🥹 Also definitely one you could bring an older elementary school child to as long as they don’t get overly spooked by suspenseful moments. My 8.5 year old loved it and she rarely likes non-animated films!”

“is it a compliment that there’s a rock as charming as ryan gosling? or is it an insult that ryan gosling is as charming as a rock? idk but this is a good as heck adaptation of a book i also loved.”

“Ok basic ahh rec ik… but seriously if you haven’t seen it yet you need to. I think this is the best movie ive seen in years i seriously loved every minute i laughed i cried and i am obsessed. Go watch”
