Engineering teacher Rob Bell recently watched the movie “Project Hail Mary.”
“Project Hail Mary” follows a middle school science teacher as he finds himself in a rocket ship with no memory of his past. As he slowly regains his memories, he finds unexpected allies and a universe-ending problem.
In “Project Hail Mary,” Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, James Ortiz voices and puppeteers Rocky, and Sandra Hüller plays Eva Stratt. The film was directed by both Phil Lord and Chris Miller.
What did you enjoy about the movie?
“Rocky,” Bell said. “That’s all I have to say.”
What motivated you to watch the movie?
“Just the general hype of everything that has been going on,” Bell said. “I kind of did it in reverse. I typically read the book and then watch the movie, but I watched the movie and now I’m going to read the book.”
Who would you recommend this movie to?
“Everyone,” Bell said. “My third grader absolutely loved it and so did my senior. It’s a full range. Even people who don’t like science-fiction, if you have an interest at all in science or space.”
What other films have you watched that were similar to “Project Hail Mary”
“‘Apollo 13’, ‘Armageddon’, ‘Star Wars’, ‘Star Trek’,” Bell said. “Just to name a few.”
“Project Hail Mary” is currently only available in theaters.
