Still wanna watch this movie, I haven't seen trailers (try to keep that to a minimum) and I like Gosling. Anybody here seen it?

I like the underlying theme of both Project Hail Mary and The Martian: No great evil just be human and solve problems with a little humor. We need more of that and less might makes right superhero movies.

I read the book and really enjoyed it, but I heard the movie isn't really like the book, especially not enough of the science stuff unlike the Martian movie which does indeed have more of the science stuff. Those of you who read the book, what do you think of the movie?

Glad to see it. We enjoyed the movie greatly but I am sure 50% of that was just relief that the movie adaptation didn’t F the story up :) The audiobook is the peak experience still I think. Highly highly recommended

Watched it with a few people who enjoy different movie genres, and nobody was bored, which is rare for the group I watch movies with frequently. Would I watch it again? Probably not. Was it my favourite Gosling movie? Nope. Tough to beat The Place Beyond the Pines. Is it better than the (audio)book? I have no idea. Ryan Gosling is one of those actors who make movies emotionally immersive, like Highlander wouldn’t be the same without Sean Connery or What Dreams May Come without Robin Williams. Glad he’s young and fit enough for me to enjoy his acting for a bit longer. Maybe his acting career is aging like fine wine. Unlike you, Ryan Reynolds.

The movie was great. I'm always fascinated by adaptations, especially what they choose to exclude. I thought the movie struck the right balance.

I watched it twice, which is pretty unheard of for me. I thought the book was fine but not a favourite. And it's not like it was the best movie ever, but I did feel like it was the best self contained scifi film I've seen in at least 10 years. People acted like adults without being aggressive, decisions were made thoughtfully, it felt realistic which made the visuals more impactful.
