Project Hail Mary

 Movie Review (English) 🌟

I am not a fan of Sci-fi movies. So when I heard about the Hail Mary Project, I knew I wouldn't watch it. I had not read the book. But, I also am a Ryal Gosling admirer and so took the leap and watched. 

And am I glad that I watched!! This isn't the usual sci-fi movie with wars in space and fantastic creatures. It is a simple story of love, camaraderie, bonhomie, fear and vulnerability - all of which we can relate to.

When a lonely astronaut befriends another lonely alien in space, the audience is bound to root for their survival and want to see the two go on adventures together having each other's back. That is precisely what happens. The ending is a definite tearjerker.

Thanks to Andy Weir for this beautiful story and to directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller for visualizing this movie so beautifully, and most of all to Ryan Gosling and Rocky, the alien, for making the story come alive!
