Movie: Project Hail Mary (2026)

[Ensign9]

God bless you, B.

Like Mecca, I teared up multiple times throughout and had a ton of fun. It followed the book, a book I absolutely devoured, almost exactly. I think criticism of its length are fair but I didn't care. Give me an extended director's cut with more of the science stuff added in. I loved it all.

The only negatives were Gosling was playing Gosling during the karaoke scene and he somehow gave himself a $1000 Hollywood haircut in space.

I'm already scouring Etsy looking for life-size Rocky replicas. I'd also like to get his arm xylophone tattooed on my forearm.

haha a karaoke scene?

haha

[E.H. Ruddock]

I haven’t seen it so please don’t spoil, but did they stay true to the ending of the book?

[Ensign9]

I'd say, more or less, yes. It's not a complete carbon copy.

This is very good news.

[Mecca]

One detail that I would’ve liked explained was why the other crew died during the coma trip.

I'm gonna post my reaction in the PHM thread.

I took that as instructions to create a thread.

Classic B

"Gosling was playing Gosling in the karaoke scene." What does that mean?

He sings like the blonde guy from Remember the Titans

[Mecca]

He sings like his character La La in La La Land

[VinylGuy]

Or the Barbie dude

[Mecca]

I just think that me and ensign need to stop our crying; it’s a sign of the times

This was my absolute favorite book of the last 10 years or so. Im dying to go see it and it seems people are absolutely loving it. I think i went through every emotion reading that book.

[bada]

Just finished the book. Managed to avoid spoilers! whew!

[Monkey_Driven]

This has two of the best "needle drop" songs in recent memory.

Hey, why was there an old, analog style classroom clock on that ship?

It was actualy a wall sign, of the time.

I’m just ballpoint pen.
