I watched “Project Hail Mary” yesterday in a cinema. It was fun, although the whole “science” part was reduced to bare minimum to keep the movie going. I wished the movie was made with a pace of “2001: Space Odyssey” though. There was no time to awe on so many species discovered in the universe, to reflect on the meaning of that.
For many the movie was already too long as they were checking their phones, some left the cinema earlier. #cinema

Ryan Gosling delivers a moving performance. The idea of all humankind uniting to save Earth feels idealistic, especially in light of our struggles with climate change, but it works within the film’s hopeful tone. Overall, it’s a smart, engaging movie, even if the alien portrayal is typically for US sci-fi: Rocky is biologically unique alien civilization yet he functions along human paradigms and uses English grammar for communication.
