Project Hail Mary Review: Lord & Miller’s Transcendent Jewel Brings The Joy Of Discovery Back To Sci-Fi

This film really throws a fascinating wrench into the classic ‘what would you do?’ thought experiment. It asks what happens when you’re not just making a choice for yourself, but are asked to help others, even when it goes against your own instincts. What I loved about Phil Lord and Christopher Miller’s adaptation of Andy Weir’s novel is its gentle reminder that true character isn’t about avoiding sacrifice, but about willingly putting others’ needs before your own. It’s a beautifully observed idea, and the film really gets at the heart of what makes us human.
