I saw PROJECT HAIL MARY at the cinema on Monday but was kinda disappointed by it.
It’s far too goofy and stupid to be taken seriously and the alien/human buddy aspect is just plain daft (and didn’t really gel with me).
Lord & Miller often go for silly stuff to offset any serious notions they posit (or the book does, in this case) but none of it really worked for me.
It does have some okay moments but its other main failing is its ridiculous over length. I was bored approaching the 90 minutes mark and it spends another hour endlessly repeating itself.
The music (Daniel Pemberton) has a couple of nice ambient/choir moments but, like the film, drones on endlessly moreso.
I also wasn’t a fan of THE MARTIAN, so maybe this writer just ain’t for me.
A huge let-down (but BIG hit, so what do they care).
