Another trip to the movies for Project Hail Mary

It's written by the same person who wrote The Martian - and it shows.  There's also a big chunk of Passengers, and a little side serving of Arrival.  Ryan Gosling spends a lot of time lookng astonished - which allows the camera to linger on his face for  long time as well.  They could have lost some of that and brought it in under 156minutes. 

Quite enjoyable, it looks like the future is going to stay obsessed with music from the 1960s-80s (like Guardian of the Galaxy and parts of the Alien movie series).
