In the eight years I've been running this account, I've constantly heard people say, “I'm sick of spin-offs, reboots, remakes, and sequels—I want original, good sci-fi.” Well, here it is: Project Hail Mary. If this movie isn't a hit, I'm going to sulk. ☝️

This movie does a great job of blending together quite a few classics: E.T., Interstellar, Arrival, Close Encounters...And it pulls it off well. Some references are more obvious than others😇 Honestly, this movie is really funny—exactly what I needed right now. Fun, entertaining, and touching sci-fi.

My son (11 years old) burst out laughing a dozen times! I think this movie is suitable for kids ages 8–10, but it’s really meant for those 14-15 and up. Even though it’s very condensed, there’s a fairly technical part (about gravity, xenobiology, etc.). A couple of jump scares; of sad scenes too.

I think this movie's box office performance will influence the production of original sci-fi films for at least the next five years. It's in this account's best interest (and sanity) for this movie to be a success. 😁 Success: North of $500M.
