Project Hail Mary - Very Satisfying Science Fiction Film with Plenty of Heart Warming Moments Based on Critically Acclaimed Novel

I have been looking forward so much to this movie when it was released more than 2 weeks ago in the US. But since it was during the "black out" period in Indonesia to celebrate Eid al-Fitr holiday where only Indonesian films were given priority to be released, we had to wait till yesterday when it's finally available. It has advance ticket sale since last Friday and I did not hesitate to buy them immediately. OK then, let's just get on with the film.

Brief Story Line

Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling - The Fall GuyThe Gray Man etc) was a middle school science teacher who woke up from induced coma in a space ship, suffering from amnesia. As he tried to assess his situation, Grace was able to slowly regain his memory and remembered that the sun was dying from an unknown micro organism. It was revealed that he was part of scientist group led by Eva Stratt (Sandra Hüller - Anatomy of a Fall, Munich - The Edge of War etc) studying and finding solution to save the world.

They Will Kill You - Bloody Violent Action Horror Comedy Movie

Yesterday this movie was released in Indonesia after playing in the US for a week. It was something that I was interested in since it sounded and looked good. I managed to convince my wife to accompany me despite having no knowledge what it was all about except its genre. Anyway, I'll just get right on it now.
