This movie was a generic popcorn flick with a lot of the "whole world unites together to overcome adversity kumbaya" shit that liberals love.
Ryan Gosling plays a sniveling coward who literally runs away from his obligation to his species to the point that they have to sedate him to get him onto the ship. He has amnesia for like 20 minutes, figures out how to operate a spaceship that would take literal years of training to do, by himself, in order to reach another star system. The reason he is there is because alien anthrax has been eating our sun. You know, because organisms can clearly survive the radioactive inferno of the coronasphere.
He then finds an alien spaceship, which throws a thermos made of frozen xenon, which is apparently frozen at room temperature. Gosling then picks it up, does not receive instant frostbite, and figures out how to talk to a five legged rock alien that sees and speaks via echolocation. For some reason, despite being made of rock, it cannot survive in oxygen because it instantly starts rusting away. They proceed to work together to find the predatory microorganism to kill the alien anthrax that is dimming the sun. Stuff goes wrong, and Gosling is forced to make a decision between getting back to earth or going back to save the rock alien. Naturally, he chooses to go save the rock alien instead of his own species.
The writers get around this by having him send back the samples in probes so that he can physically go save the rock alien. This action leaves him stranded on the rock alien planet where he gets to live out his previous career of being a middle school science teacher.
The whole time he is doing this we get flashbacks to him accidentally stumbling his way into success, acting like a complete dork, running away from his problems, and trying to flirt with a 45 year old German woman who works for the UN. Said woman is the one who makes the decision to sedate him since he literally flees when she tells him he has to go on the space mission.
Gosling plays the only white man with any real lines in the movie. Every other character is a woman/nonwhite/rock alien, and even in the middle school scene in the flashback the only students asking important questions are black and indian.
It's entertaining, but it's nothing special, just another popcorn flick with propaganda in the background that will escape the notice of normies.
So basically the main character is a White man whose only role is to serve shitskins at his own demise.
Thank you for that full plot breakdown. I was very curious about what all the hype was about but as I don't ever buy into hype for games and movies, I had zero interest in watching it.
The book is much better. I don’t recall any of that DEI shit in it. Main character is still a selfish coward, but gets some redemption

edit: actual study "Finally, we assessed the heatmaps generated by participants’ clicks on the rung they felt best represented the extent of their moral circle."
So I guessed wrong, the heatmap shows that most liberals say they care about universe-level things, but not how much they care. Other charts in the paper show liberals do care more about more-distant people than conservatives, but it's less pronounced than this.
Basic idea of the chart is right, this graph is just an exaggerated representation of it.
It's not really that exaggerated when you look at how they behave.
The other charts have liberals rating strangers 4/5 whereas conservatives say 3/5.
That's not the impression anyone would get looking at the heatmap alone.
That's a bit disingenuous. Unless the movie didn't bother to mention that it was supposed to be a suicide mission in the first place and the multiple probes were the only plan to get the information back to Earth anyway.
The alien was the reason why he even had the option to go back to Earth in the first place. Also without the alien he would've never solved the mystery of the space goo. So he didn't choose to save the alien instead of his own species he chose to save the alien instead of going home. Because getting home alive was a long shot anyway.
Anyway Project Hail Mary is just The Martian 2. The main character is Mark Watney with a different name and backstory and the alien is just the alien version of Mark Watney. The plot structure is pretty much exactly the same too. And not just in the most basic sense.
Sounds a lot like the Martian, also by Andy Weir, except more cliched maybe
