Just got around to reading Weir’s “Project Hail Mary”. It’s ridiculous, but entertaining. You have to be impressed by Weir’s skill at thinking up new ways for astronauts to catastrophically die and then saving them via clever engineering. Also inventing new types of life which present interesting conundra. Characters? Ehhhh not really.
The movie trailer looks fairly true to the book.
