Combine a science teacher, an unlikely friendship, and one chance to save the earth, and you end up with the delightfully entertaining Project Hail Mary.
Synopsis:
Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction… but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.
A “near-miraculous fusion of smarts and heart”, Project Hail Mary is rated 94% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes with critics raving:
“In the most purely pleasurable movie so far this year, Ryan Gosling has a blast as a science guy who rockets into space to save all our asses with jolts, jokes and smarts that won’t quit.” – Peter Travers
“What also makes Project Hail Mary’s so gosh darn lovable is that it imbues us with child-like wonder from scenes that pay homage to such classics as E.T., Flight of the Navigator and, yes, Rocky”. – San Jose Mercury News
