I’m absolutely blown away by Project Hail Mary! As of today, it’s sitting at a phenomenal 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, based on 57 reviews. Everyone’s saying it’s the best sci-fi film of the year so far, and one critic brilliantly described it as Cast Away meets Interstellar – which is a perfect way to put it, honestly.

Okay, so let me tell you about Project Hail Mary. It starts with me – well, actually, with Ryland Grace, played by Ryan Gosling – waking up on a spaceship totally confused. I have no clue how I got there or what my mission is. As things start coming back to me, I realize it’s a huge deal: I’m humanity’s last hope! There’s this weird thing happening with the sun, and I need to figure out why it’s fading before it’s too late. It’s based on the book by Andy Weir, and it’s a wild ride!
