Fans of Fantastic Fiction (San Antonio Sci-Fi/Fantasy Group)

A lot of us have been waiting for this movie for a while. If it's half as good as the book it should be terrific. "Based on Andy Weirʼs (The Martian) novel of the same name, PROJECT HAIL MARY is an exhilarating space adventure set in the near future. Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling), a school-teacher-turned-astronaut, wakes up from a coma, alone, on a space station with no memory of who he is or his mission. His memory returns in bursts, and he pieces together that he was sent to the Tau Ceti solar system, 12 light-years from Earth, to reverse the impact of a space event that had already hurled our planet into the early stages of an Ice Age. As details of the mission unravel, Grace must call on all of his scientific training and sheer ingenuity, but he might not have to do it alone…" (Alamo Draft House) We will meet in the lobby after the movie then adjourn to Denny's on Blanco. Hope to see all of you there.
