Luke O’Neill: What I think about Ryan Gosling’s new movie on space science

From human hibernation to high-speed travel, how plausible is the science in new film ‘Project Hail Mary’? Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace in 'Project Hail Mary'. Photo: Amazon The latest science fiction movie in cinemas is Project Hail Mary . It stars Ryan Gosling as a teacher called ­Ryland Grace, who is sent on a mission to save our sun, which is being attacked by nasty germs called astrophages. The film is a box-office and critical hit. As a scientist, I ­always look at the numbers, and on the website Rotten Tomatoes, 95pc of 340 critics are positive about it.
