Project Hail Mary could teach humanity a thing or two

​It’s hard not to find the premise of Andy Weir’s Project Hail Mary instantly compelling: Something is slowly killing the sun and threatening life on Earth. That same mysterious force, dubbed the Astrophage, also destroyed every nearby star — except one. Our only hope is to visit that solar system and figure out what helped it survive. And there’s just one middle school science teacher who can do it. At its core is Weir’s love of technical problem solving, along with a tremendous performance by Ryan Gosling in full nerd hero mode as the aforementioned science teacher (and former molecular biologist). It’s the sort of sweeping sci-fi epic that will make a whole generation of kids ready to science the shit out of humanity’s future problems. And maybe it’ll remind clueless adults that we gain much more by working together to solve global issues, instead of being purely self-interested.The film starts with Gosling’s character, Ryland Grace, waking up from an induced coma with no memory. He’s shocked to find that he’s light years away from Earth, and that the other two members of his crew are already dead. As he gets his bearings, he recalls that he was sent on a last-ditch mission, Project Hail Mary, to save the sun and everyone on Earth. No pressure! These early moments make it clear that screenwriter Drew Goddard (who also adapted The Martian), as well as directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller, can deftly juggle comedy alongside the inherent drama in the story.  There’s something genuinely moving about the mission. With about 30 years before the planet is faced with a global cooling event likely ending in mass starvation, Earth’s major political powers put aside their differences and deliver their finest scientific minds to come up with a solution. You can really take your pick with real-world parallels, like the impending climate crisis, or the increasing threat of nuclear war. Simply seeing the world work together feels meaningful in these bleak times. And unlike other space disaster films like Armageddon and Interstellar, cooperation, rather than NASA alone, is the only way forward.Ryan Gosling in Project Hail Mary.Jonathan Olley for AmazonSure, humanity’s hope for survival ultimately falls on the shoulders of one of the most attractive white men on (or in this case, off) the planet, but you know, movies. It’s also not a spoiler to say that Grace isn’t entirely alone on his journey. As already revealed by the film’s trailers and a ton of social media clips, he’s also joined by a crab-like being made of rock, which he simply calls Rocky. They eventually learn to communicate, and it’s revealed that Rocky is also on a mission to save their own home planet. While we get brief glimpses of life on Earth, and the planning of Project Hail Mary, for the vast majority of the film we’re just left with Grace figuring things together with a rock alien. And yet, the film never drags. It’s a testament to Gosling’s inherent charm, but he also demonstrates a
