Good art makes me long for great art. So I enjoyed "Project Hail Mary," but I couldn't help wishing for the great, science-inspired movie it could have been.
My review for American Scientist (warning: contains mild spoilers if you haven't seen the trailer).

@coreyspowell hate to bring out the tired trope, but a lot of the issues mentioned are covered in huge detail in the book. The movie was long enough as it was, though.
I enjoyed it. What I really missed was the sense of constant discovery between Rocky and Grace. A lot of that was cut out, like Rocky being awestruck that Grace can see heat. And Grace being overwhelmed by how easily Rocky does math.
