Spoiler Review: Project Hail Mary

This week we review and discuss Project Hail Mary, a science fiction movie directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and starring Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller and James Ortiz, about a scientist who embarks on a mission to the star Tau Ceti on a mission to save Earth, where he encounters an alien who is on the same mission.We discuss what works about this movie and what doesn't, how it compares to Andy Weir's other movie The Martian in its humor and its use of real science to enable its story, how the movie struggles with its lack of real conflict and consequences to character actions, what the movie has to say about bravery and sacrifice, the difference between real and fake stakes and why this movie is in multiple places on the wrong side of that distinction, how the movie seems to have dropped important details in the adaptation from the novel that undermines parts of its story in ways that weren't necessary, and much more.Check out our other reviews and clips on all major platforms here:https://linktr.ee/EyeOfTheStormMoviePodcast0:00 Intro0:18 Movie Recommendations (Ready Or Not 2, Rosemary's Baby 1968)05:28 Synopsis & Overall Impressions13:13 Spoiler Discussion51:29 Conclusion & Ratings
