At the risk of dumbing down something exceedingly smart, if you liked the film “The Martian,” based on Andy Weir’s 2011 debut novel, you’re going to love his latest sci-fi odyssey, “Project Hail Mary.” The basic building blocks of Weir’s narrative universe have returned: You’ve got a highly competent Caucasian male astronaut hurtling through space, alone, in great peril, and cracking dad jokes. You’ve got a first-person narrator who marries Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson, converting incomprehensible scientific principles into thrilling biochemistry experiments and cool-ass spaceship maneuvers. And, most impressively, you’ve got a propulsive, can’t-look-away, twist-filled plot with nothing less than the survival of the world (or...spoiler alert...multiple worlds) at stake. It’s science fiction that actual physicists can warm to and that non-scientists can put their faith in. #Sci-Fi Fans
