PROJECT HAIL MARY REVIEW
(Spoiler free I guess)

Amaze! Amaze! Amaze!
Yes, it’s as good as everyone is saying.
Yes, you should definitely go see it on the big screen.
Yes, it’s going to be a sci-fi classic.

Super enjoyable movie, doesn’t feel the run length as it often (almost all of it) cracks along at breakneck speed.

Very funny movie right from the outset, the audience were laughing a lot.

Way less technical than The Martian, so if you are after lots of technical talk and details you might be disappointed. They focus on story and characters obviously because of the duo instead of the loner in The Martian.

Unlike The Martian there is very little exposition, so you are left to figure things out if you haven’t read the book. The flashbacks are supposed to do this of course, but it’s like they wanted to get back to the ship as soon as possible. Nothing wrong with that, it’s just a choice.
Mrs EEVblog hadn’t read the book and greatly enjoyed the movie and said they it took a while to figure things out.
There are only a couple of scenes where Grace narrates to the camcorder.

That being said, the movie is mostly a bro fest with Gosling and Rocky, and wow, it’s great! Gosling carries the entire movie and he’s perfect. James Ortiz brings Rocky to life and it’s just wonderful to see.
It’s hard to get emotion out of a rock puppet, but damn, they do it, in spades.

Sandra Hüller as Eva Stratt is perfectly cast as the only real other cast member. But it felt like they didn’t flesh out her character enough. They obviously tried in a few places, some of the longest scenes involved her, but I was hoping for more.

The only other cast member I wanted to see more of was Steve the security sick-kick. They get a great Apollo 13 style MacGyver scene together but that’s about it.

I’ve only read the book once, but Sagan who is a Hail Mary scholar, assures me that every single plot point was in the movie, nothing was skipped. And maybe that’s my only criticism, I think it shows a little, there is just so much in the book, and only so many minutes to tell it all. An even longer directors cut would be great.

There are also several scenes that were only alluded to in the book but are shown in the movie. Nice.  

It’s visually spectacular and the sound is great. Space Silence fans will appreciate it. Definitely not 2001 level silence, but you’ll notice it and enjoy it. The style of cinematography seems old school, even if shot digitally on Alexa 65. Sets are all practical and it shows.

I won’t spoil the ending, but it’s very satisfying. I don’t think anyone will complain.

You won’t come out of it absolutely buzzing like Top Gun Maverick, but you’ll feel better about everyone and everything, appreciating having seen it at the cinema, and you’ll want to watch it again.
We will go see it again in IMAX.

If you love the book, you’ll love the movie. Sagan actually said he enjoyed the movie more than the book, and the book is his favourite of all time. He said it’s better than Interstellar and I agree. It’s grander and way more fun.

There are no end credit scenes.

Can’t wait to see the making of bonus content.

I hope Andy Weir gets residuals from this movie, he deserves it.

Go see it. Fist my bump!
