Project Hail Mary

Hi all,

We havent seen scifi for a while, and this on is more hollywood blockbuster than our usual arthouse, so something different.
It also scores an impressive 95% with critics and 98% with audiences on rotten tomatoes. But runs for 2hrs 30 min 😫

We'll be in the usual meeting place [read on for details] from 6:30pm. If there's something else on your film wish list that you want to catch instead, then please feel free to do so and catch us in the Nova bar afterwards for a chat.

Looking forward to seeing you there.

Cheers,
Alicia

--=>+ Meeting Spot +<=--
Outside the clothing store Black Orange. It is inside Lygon Court next to Brunettis. Join the group at the meeting spot 10 minutes before the start time or see us in the movie.

--=>+ The Film +<=--
A sci-fi adventure epic from Phil Lord and Chris Miller (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, The Lego Movie, 22 Jump Street), PROJECT HAIL MARY stars Ryan Gosling and Sandra Hüller.
Science teacher Ryland Grace (Gosling) wakes up alone on a spaceship, light-years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to remember his mission: solve the riddle of a mysterious substance causing the sun to die out and stop it from being destroyed. Calling on all his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction, he soon learns that an unexpected friendship may be the key to keeping humanity alive.

--=>+ Tickets +<=--
Everyone will need to buy their own ticket online and in advance. If you want to sit with other group members, there's a tendency for us to pick seats in the back two rows. Those who feel comfortable can catch up in Nova's bar afterward.

--=>+ Afterwards+<=--
We meet in Nova's bar after the movie. Look for us in the area to the left as you go down the steps. Share your thoughts about the film with the group over a drink of your choice.

If the bar is closed we typically head across the road to the Wolf's Lair which is out the back of Jimmy Watson's.
