Project Hail Mary - Final Trailer

Yeah that’s an insane amount to show in a trailer.

I would be pissed if I hadn’t already read the book.

I bought the book several months ago to read. Haven’t started it yet though. I generally don’t care for fiction, but I really liked The Martian (so much I read it twice actually) so I figured I’d check this one out.

Fist my bump.

Read it. It’s a very fun and easy read. I think I enjoyed the Martian a bit more. But not an incredibly noticeable amount more. Weir definitely has a style.

It’s one book where the audiobook really elevates it. It’s the best way to experience it.

You’re right, it shows too much.

But it looks awesome.

Trailer looks like Al Gore's movie and Armageddon fricked and this popped out.

Yeah, it’s evident you know nothing about the book or movie because neither of those things have anything to do with this story. I mean absolutely zero things in common except maybe space.

I read the book over the summer on account of some strong recs from this board, and very much enjoyed it.

Pumped for the movie, but I an thinking that maybe the audiobook is a good idea, as well. Lots of people have mentioned that the audio is the best way to enjoy the story.

I also want to say that I appreciate Lord and Miller being faithful to the source material. Looks like they're really trying to make this look like it did in the book.

I said it in another thread, but you have to market Rocky. He's in 2/3 of the book. While the book synopsis doesn't explicitly say Grace will be helped by an ET, it does say he won't do it alone.

The bigger twist, imo, is how Grace ends up on the ship.
