Project Hail Mary
★★★★½
I had very high expectations for this film, being a fan of the book and the creators (Ryan, Lord & Miller, Greig Fraser) - and this absolutely delivered.
I would wholeheartedly recommend watching this in theaters, because the visuals are a treat, and the shared joy is palpable.
It's 4.5* only because it seemed that the movie dragged in a few spots, and some of the key plot points seemed to resolve very quickly. However, the film is amazing despite any of those concerns.
AMAZE. AMAZE. AMAZE!
