Project Hail Mary: The Sci-Fi Thriller That Defies Expectations and Challenges Reality
I can’t remember the last time I felt this confident that a movie was going to work than when I started watching Project Hail Mary.
This is a movie that knows exactly what it wants to be and it aces every single test on the way there. From the drama to the plot to the humor to the emotion to the characters to the risks it takes. It’s a rare achievement in Hollywood when a studio film is this good.
Because the studio system is designed to stifle any risk – anything in the movie that may bring the meter too far to the extreme. Because any extreme (trying for a big emotional moment, for example) is at risk of creating the opposite effect. Which is why studio films live in that bland middle space. They want you having just as much of a positive experience that you leave better than you arrived, and not one iota more.
