Earlier quoted context omitted.

Watched it twice, cried both times. Probably could have had a few minutes cut while still tight if you care about that kind of thing, recommend watching in IMAX since it's a space movie. One notable annoying science inaccuracy that felt particularly blatent was jurer gur pragevshtr jnf haonynaprq sbe ab ernfba but that's forgivable.

what is that gibberish?

Likely a rot13-encoded spoiler.

I like the underlying theme of both Project Hail Mary and The Martian: No great evil just be human and solve problems with a little humor. We need more of that and less might makes right superhero movies.

Exactly. An no tiring unrealistic villain arc.

I hadn't read the book nor watched any trailers (I hate trailers with a passion), so tonally it was a fair bit lighter than anticipated. However both me and my unsuspecting victim of a movie partner (she isn't typically into scifi) really enjoyed it, and I had a similar sentiment afterwards.

Saw it on IMAX, and did not regret that choice one bit.
