You Should Go See 'Project Hail Mary' At The Movie Theater

Ryan Gosling shines as a reluctant sixth-grade science teacher who has one shot to save the world.
In “Project Hail Mary,” the new science-fiction film based on Andy Weir’s 2021 novel of the same name, the apocalypse is upon us. The sun is dying, and Earth’s only chance for survival is a reluctant sixth-grade science teacher.
Yet the belief that “maybe the future isn’t something to be afraid of, maybe it’s just something to figure out” is what drew actor Ryan Gosling to the role of Ryland Grace.
“I was so grateful just as a father to get to make a story for my kids [and their generation] that kind of reminds you of what we’re capable of as human beings,” he said to Jason and Travis Kelce during an appearance on their “New Heights” podcast.
The positive possibilities that humans can achieve through science are at the center of Weir’s novel. It’s also at the core of Phil Lord’s and Christopher Miller’s direction in the film. The duo aimed to show, as Lord told Scientific American, how science “can be used in a way that’s hopeful and optimistic about the future.”
Not only does “Project Hail Mary” faithfully adapt Weir’s novel to maintain this central idea, but it also tells an equally moving and funny story that will captivate both kids and adults. Ultimately, Grace’s cinematic journey through space is a reminder of why, in a world of small screens, we still go to the movies.
