If I had a dollar for every excellent space movie based on an Andy Weir book about a lone astronaut doing cool science to survive, I'd have two dollars, which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it's happened twice.
Based on the novel of the same name, "Project Hail Mary" sees Ryan Gosling in the hot seat this time, starring as Ryland Grace — a man on a mission to save the stars themselves from a mysterious infection known as the astrophage. Considering what an absolute banger "The Martian" was, I had extremely high hopes going in, and "Project Hail Mary" still somehow exceeded expectations.
