Rating: 9 out of 10, Project Hail Mary is a great movie. It
probably won’t set any movie critic’s pulse racing but it is good, old
fashioned entertainment. If there was any doubt about Ryan Gosling’s star power
(there isn’t) it’s firmly quashed as this movie is basically all his. He plays
a more than reluctant astronaut charged with saving the planet from an
infection belaboring the sun. He’s left on his own until he links up with an
alien on a similar mission. Gosling deploys sone real depth in approaching both
his situation and the relationship with his “buddy”. There’s some well placed
humor as well as a less than subtle message about what it means to be human. I
loved this movie.
MVP:
Gosling as the reluctant hero, Ryland Grace
