Official Poster for 'Project Hail Mary' Starring Ryan Gosling
-
Just listen to the audio book. It's read by ray porter and he nails it.
Seconded. Read it on my own first, ended up reading half of it out loud to my wife just because I was so tickled by it, then put it on for the whole family on a road trip. Such a great story, everyone loved it.

This guy is a billionaire btw
Edit: I don't want movies and don't know the difference between Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds.
Which guy? Gosling is at 70M and Weir at 10.

The botched comical farce ending that he makes fun of in the book becoming the movie ending was offensive... I loved so much of the pieces but talk about a slap in the face.
Also, removing the detail of Pathfinder failure so you have months of mental health issues... Damon did spectacular at emoting the strain in the moment he regains contact with the crew, but it felt disjointed without the context of zero contact and the desperation.
Many of the actors were amazing, but Ridley screwed up bad.
Matt Damon did a fantastic job portraying Mark Watney, though I'll definitely say movie!Watney had it a lot easier than book!Watney. He didn't kill Pathfinder, basically the entire long haul to ARES IV was "he did it, he drove to ARES IV", no sandstorm, no figuring out which way to go, no rolling the rover.
They pussed out on a lot of the mission control characters as well, Annie wasn't a no nonsense ballbuster, I don't even remember Mindy the meek satellite girl who grew a pair, and Vince unilaterally sending the Rich Purnell maneuver in defiance of orders and daring them to fire him over it...
Some of that would have been cut for run time; what works in the span of a novel doesn't work in the span of a film. I think to fully capture the entire scope of the book you'd need a 6-8 hour miniseries. If I want to revisit The Martian, I'm going to play my copy of the audiobook narrated by R. C. Bray.
Look: Boobies! ( . Y . )

That was a fun, very light sci fi novel. I hope they don't fuck it up too bad. I hope Gosling plays Rocky, bwahaha

Amaze!! Amaze!!
…I’m excited for this film, but so scared that it will be another enshitified movie of a great book with the story twisted and warped by producers and other interests.
Like Ready Player One turned out to be; utter garbage.
Ungh….
Ready Player One the movie wouldn't have been any better with him playing PacMan and Joust for hours or quoting Monty Python and War Games word-for-word.

Filmed "for" IMAX?

You can be jacked and still be a coward.
Sure but the book doesn't say he is jacked, just that he has muscle still after waking up from the coma

Yea it's become one of my top books. I have listened to the audiobook probably 30 times now. I'll go through a series like the Dresden files or the grey man and then PHM gets a listen.

The book is so good, I don't know if I wanna see the movie.

I actually like the movie. It made the best out of the book, which is meh at best.
Yep. Book wasted time with unnecessary callback lists, obscure shows, and a hero that was kindof a jerk. The movie was fun - not deep or anything, it didn’t waste time though.

I hope Gosling plays Rocky
Is it weird that this is kinda how I imagined him in the book?

I'm just going to assume you mean the protagonist, and not Rocky

if you want to have a proper imax experience, you need to shoot a movie with that intent.
That's what they are saying here.
Other releases will have a very different screen ratio and viewing experience.
It does suggest that the space scenes will be quite glorious

Everyone working on this behind the scenes has a really fantastic track record. Cant wait.

They usually say it's filmed "in" IMAX.

You can assume whatever you like.

Edit: I've been proven wrong by multiple people so I'll defend myself by saying I'm ignorant and have no idea what I'm talking about.
Fixed your edit for you.

It’s a page turner and a pretty quick read!
I was so sad at how fast it was over. Only took me about 8 hours from start to finish.
