when the Project Hail Mary movie has Grace having the emotional crashout of the century passed out on the floor with a vodka IV when he realizes he’s completely alone in space and when it has Grace proudly announce that he and Carl are fathers when they figure out how the astrophage reproduce and when it has no greenscreens and real actual sets and an animation-augmented puppet rather than CGI and when it has an absolutely heart wrenching and touching funeral scene for Yao and Ilyukhina with greatly expanded eulogies and when it has Eva sing karaoke and when it shows how physically demanding the forces both inside and outside the ship are on the human body in space and when it has the touchdown pass of the galaxy and when it truly conveys the absolute fear and stress of making first contact particularly when you are just one human stranded so far from home and when it has Grace be able to really show Rocky what Earth is like inside the little environmental simulation orb room and when when it has multiple Rocky POV scenes so the audience can see how Eridians “see” with sound and when it has a gorgeous choral soundtrack and when it has Rocky wear BOTH outfits from the book and when it showed the absolute desperation and despair in Grace’s voice when he tries to run at the end and then gets sedated and put on the Hail Mary against his will and when it has Grace helping Rocky to heal after Rocky gets burned by the oxygenated atmosphere by building him a little heat lamp and when it has Eva see Rocky on the video they sent back to Earth on the beetles and she got Rocky’s little xenonite human sculpture gift and when it has Grace affectionately call the ship “Mary” and the nannybot “Armando” and when it has Grace get to actually visit Rocky’s ship by wearing a xenonite EVA suit and when it has not one but TWO hugs between Grace and Rocky and when it has Eridian voices singing in the outro/credits song and when it has all the emotional range of the book by being so funny and devastating and thrilling and hopeful
