Looks great but now that I've watched that trailer I don't need to watch the movie.

Unless I somehow lost the ability to read, that's for a different book/film. Hence a new thread.

Also, I found the mention on that thread after I posted this one.

Sorry I spoke.
Yes different thread title, same author and Project Hail Mary slipped into The Martian thread on P15.

Project Hail Mary, the book was very very good, my favourite read of last year.
Thought The Martian book better then the film adaptation TBH but that's just me, sometimes the film or TV prog helps to portray a character in my mind (ie Ken Stott as Rebus), other times not.

Yeah I thought the Martian was a great book, film a bit of a let down.

This, book is good, maybe not quite up there with the Martian and I don’t have great hopes for the film to be honest but I hope I will be surprised.

Agree the trailer is far too long and tells too much of the story!!

I'm also really looking forward to this. As ever, the movie can never be as good as the book, but The Martian was still a good movie nonetheless. The movie misses the detail, like the sugar liquefaction that binned the resupply mission and the reasons behind the stitching fail on the air lock.

I hope they get the alien spot on in Hail Mary, and the ending when he resumes teaching.
