I went to see Project Hail Mary in the cinema with two of my sons recently. It is a science fiction film based on a novel by Andy Weir. It presents a dystopian future that is rescued by an ordinary hero (Ryan Gosling). Quite a long film, I enjoyed it for the most part. Some laughs, some sentiment, some sentimentality. There are a few Easter eggs (eg a reference to Close Encounters, a voice cameo from Meryl Streep, etc). The lead character is called Grace and the echoes of and contrasts to Christ's redemption are almost inevitable and there is one reference to God in the film. (Catholic references seem more likely than Protestant ones, I guess.)
