Project: Hail Mary (9.1/10)

This Ryan Gosling movie is getting all the hype right now, and I definitely had a great time with this one. That said, I’m also a huge sci-fi fan, which probably helped. If sci-fi isn’t really your genre, some parts of this movie may feel a little too silly. That was really my only complaint. I was willing to accept some of the more over-the-top moments because the setup is so strong, and the ending feels fresh and genuinely unique compared to most movies out there. There were a few scenes that leaned a bit too cheesy and childish for my taste, but I tried to look past them because the overall experience was still a lot of fun."Science teacher Ryland Grace wakes up on a spaceship with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory slowly returns, he soon discovers he must solve the riddle behind a mysterious substance that's causing the sun to die out. As details of the mission unravel, he calls on his scientific training and sheer ingenuity -- but he may not have to do it alone."
