Project Hail Mary

I honestly don’t know how to start this review, but the visuals in this movie were amazing and easily its strongest aspect I had to say this first. The chemistry between Grace and Rocky is one of my favorites in all of cinema and I shed a tear at some moments.The story is very interesting, and the decision to slowly reveal why he’s there instead of explaining everything at the beginning was a smart choice—it lets you become more invested in the visuals and the characters. Ryan Gosling delivers an incredible performance. I loved every second of him in this film—he really makes the story feel engaging and fluid. The pacing is slow, but the combination of stunning visuals and interesting characters keeps you invested throughout the movie . The cinematography is wild—almost every shot is incredibly well-crafted, and the lighting and colors are the cherry on top. The sound and music are also amazing, especially tracks like “A Moment” and “Sign of the Times.” The themes and messages in this film are beautiful as well. Overall, this is easily one of the best movies of the year.  I will rewatch it
