If you haven’t been living under a rock, you probably know that Project Hail Mary is the movie everyone is talking about right now. Honestly, it is the best thing I’ve watched in years. It is rare to find a film that gets every single part right, but this one really does. From the very first minute to the very last, it keeps you totally glued to the screen and never has a dull moment.
The way the story is told is basically perfect. It starts with a guy who wakes up on a spaceship and can’t even remember his own name, let alone why he is there. As he slowly figures out his mission to save Earth, you are right there with him. It feels like you are solving a giant, exciting puzzle together. The movie moves at a great pace, so you’re always leaning in to see what happens next without ever feeling lost or bored.
The best part, though, is how funny it is. Even though the main character is in a pretty scary situation all alone in space, he uses a lot of humor to get through it. It’s basically a great comedy that just happens to take place on a spaceship. The jokes don’t feel forced at all; they just make the character feel like a real, relatable person that you would actually want to hang out with.
Overall, Project Hail Mary is a fantastic ride that actually makes you feel good. It is smart and exciting, but it also has a ton of heart and shows how cool it is when people use their brains to solve problems. If you want to see a movie that has a perfect plot and will make you laugh out loud and make you cry a bit you have to check this out. It’s definitely my most favorite movie in a long time and totally worth the hype.
