r/ProjectHailMary

Nothing important to add other than I think I am addicted to all things PHM. I read and listened to the audio/book three times each this calendar year leading up to the movie and have now seen the movie 5 times (4 in theater, 1 right now at home) and I don’t think I’ve ever loved a piece of fiction this much.

Interstellar and Nolan and McConaughey were all my addiction for a while. Went through Nolan’s whole catalog, most of MM (including green lights), and have seen Interstellar too many times to count.

HOWEVER I’ve never been this deeply in love with any single piece of media than I am this😭 I think the combination of the 3 mediums, audiobook book movie, have made it that much more intense.

As for the movie itself, I loved gosling and a lot of the cast coming in so I knew I’d like it but jfc this score and the cinematography feel like a spiritual experience. I couldn’t have asked for more with this.

These are my “too may drinks” thoughts as I watch in my basement. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

I’ve seen Project Hail Mary eight times. Love this scene so much that we got to see Rocky’s ship!! This scene wasn’t written in the book.
Love the party scene with Rocky’s party costume and seeing fireworks!🎆🥳
“You gave me everything!”

Somehow the moment when Grace steps onto Rocky’s ship still hits like a tidal wave. No explosions. No speeches. Just two completely different beings choosing to trust each other, over fear in the middle of impossible darkness.

The music and Rocky playing musical strings like a harp. 🥰🎶
That scene doesn’t just make me emotional — it makes me hopeful.👎🥰🌎🚀🧑‍🚀🪨

because i do fw spaceship yuri so hard

awhile ago since 2025 april-ish, i've invented a concept of Hail Mary x Blip A as a niche crackship because literally 'ships', then after the movie and fandom explosion it IS a thing which makes me real happy, so now bringing some assorted random old fanarts i've been stacking

Complete with snacks, space cupcakes, ramen and (root)beer. We had gone to the theater to watch it 6 times (don't judge!) It was so great to be able to watch it at home now 😄

I honestly don’t even know where to begin because words genuinely cannot express how much I LOVE this movie.

Project Hail Mary is not just one of the best sci-fi movies ever made… it’s one of the best movies I have EVER seen in my entire life. This is the kind of film that reminds you why movies exist in the first place. Wonder. Emotion. Hope. Adventure. Humanity. Friendship. Fear. Sacrifice. Curiosity. It captured ALL of it perfectly.

I have been waiting DECADES for a movie like this without even realizing it.

Every single thing about this movie feels crafted with passion and love. The cinematography is breathtaking. The visuals are absolutely mesmerizing. The score and soundtrack are PERFECT and elevate every emotional moment into something unforgettable. Watching this movie feels like drifting through space with tears in your eyes and a smile on your face at the same time.

And Ryan Gosling as Ryland Grace? Absolutely phenomenal. One of my favorite performances EVER. He brought so much humanity, humor, vulnerability, intelligence, and heart into this character that I completely forgot I was watching an actor. He became Ryland Grace. Perfect casting.

And Rocky… my God. I LOVE ROCKY SO MUCH. One of the greatest sci-fi characters ever created. The friendship between Grace and Rocky is beautiful beyond words. Funny, emotional, wholesome, inspiring — it felt REAL. Every scene with them together was magic.

Stratt was cast perfectly. The entire cast was PERFECT. Not a single weak link anywhere. Everyone brought their absolute best to this project and you can FEEL it in every frame.

This movie reignited my love for space, science fiction, and cinema itself. I literally watch it almost every single day because it makes me feel something most movies don’t anymore: awe. Pure awe.

To everyone involved in making this masterpiece: THANK YOU. Truly. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you for creating something so special, emotional, intelligent, immersive, and unforgettable. You created a film that will stay with people forever.

This movie is perfection to me.
10/10. Masterpiece.
One of the greatest sci-fi films ever made. 🚀🌌❤️‍🔥

After watching Project Hail Mary I LOVED IT, so I’ve been on a bit of a Spaceship Sci-fi kick, I’ve watch Event Horizon, High Life, The Cloverfield Paradox, 2001: A Space Odyssey, 2010: The Year we make contact, and today’s movie was Life (2017).

This movie had me shooketh omg it was so much scarier and stressful than I thought it was going to be, after being left speechless by the ending, all I could think was THANK GOD Rocky was a good alien and not a bad one like the one from this movie.

Like I low key want to rewatch Project Hail Mary just to wash Life (2017) out of my mind because it’s still leaving me feeling bad.

Thank god for Rocky!

So on a desperate mission to save their planet, only one survivor returns alongside a mysterious alien. This alien *just so happened* to show up after Rocky had been waiting and all but giving up hope of a solution. This alien was so young and short lived he was pretty much born after Blip A had arrived in Tau Ceti.

This alien is blessed with being able to hear the songs of stars, and while nearly deaf and rather stupid in some aspects, inexplicably possessed the necessary skills to help solve the problem of astrophage. The alien was willing to step into the terrifying silence of the void, throw his whole ship in absolute peril, in order to retrieve the precious cargo of their salvation. And in his own time of need a humble Eridian engineer risked his own carapace to ensure the alien did not die.

But wait, it gets better! Once on a triumphant farewell, this alien TURNS BACK, abandoning an opportunity to see his home, to ensure Rocky and Erid are saved.

We don't know how religious Eridians are. But cmon, you gotta imagine them having quite the thrum about sentient life that lined up in the mother of all coincidences for Erid.

It was a pretty long process so I'll probably do a write up on my rebrickable later instead of posing a book here.

This is my first time making jewelry but I still wanted to make something to resemble the movie so I can carry it with me when I'm not watching it. I might be obsessed. This is my life now. 🤭🫶🏼

I plan to add gold leaf speckles to add depth and shine and nod to the book cover’s color scheme. The poster will be printed as a matte texture, not glossy.

The red one (based on the color of the petrova line/astrophage) started to look too busy to me especially if I’m going to add gold leaf, so then I made the green one based on tau ceti/Taumoeba colors. But it feels more bare, like the gold leaf would be out of place.

I don’t know, which one would you want to hang up in your house? Open to any ideas too, I’m really feeling stuck.
