Three out of four stars How much do you like science fiction? No disrespect meant to Ryan Gosling, but that's the only question that matters when it comes to whether or not you'll enjoy Project Hail Mary, a 156-minute epic about the vastness of the galaxy (in theaters Friday, March 20). Based on the beloved novel by Andy Weir (The Martian) and directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, the story takes place in the near future, when the people of Earth are on borrowed time thanks to a mysterious substance that's killing the sun.
