thomasgeelens: Still wanna watch this movie, I haven't seen trailers (try to keep that to a minimum) and I like Gosling. Anybody here seen it?

l1n: 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.

popalchemist: what is that gibberish?

scoopertrooper: Rot13

loloquwowndueo: Likely a rot13-encoded spoiler.

brg: [delayed]

UltraSane: The book is very good and the movie is pretty faithful to the book. They did an amazingly good job of making Rocky into a real character.

jmward01: 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.

spiderfarmer: Exactly. An no tiring unrealistic villain arc.

magicalhippo: 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.

hermitcrab: Yes. I really enjoyed it. Visually spectacular, pretty faithful to the book (as far as I remember the book) and Ryan Gosling was very good in it. They were even fairly faithful to the laws of physics (relative to other Hollywood movies, anyway).

darepublic: Found it excruciating to watch. As in boring. And there are a few times where the movie seems ready to make its landing and finish but something happens to extend it. I just couldn't get myself to care. The recent Sam Raimi movie I enjoyed

satvikpendem: I read the book and really enjoyed it, but I heard the movie isn't really like the book, especially not enough of the science stuff unlike the Martian movie which does indeed have more of the science stuff. Those of you who read the book, what do you think of the movie?

desolate_muffin: I read the book on release and loved it. The main themes and plot points are present in the movie, though it's overall a bit less nerdy and a bit more comical than the book. I think it is easily one of the best, most enjoyable sci-fi movies released this decade.
