Did anyone see Project Hail Mary? I've seen it multiple times. I've also read the book several times. 

Of course the book is better; but the movie is excellently done, both funny and moving at times.

Andy Weir always takes a can-do, optimistic view of the future. Both book and movie are filled with hopefulness, not the typically post-apocalyptic direction most modern movies take.

Loved it!

I have not seen it. Is it still in theaters? Is it a movie better seen in a theater?

I definitely plan to watch it.

You need to buy a bigger TV/improve your viewing area and then everything will be better at home.

Especially bathrooms and concessions prices!

Except for that part where every species on earth is threatened with extinction. But we'll overlook that!

So true, you stop whatever it is you are watching and take care of business for almost free.  

Obviously this is an area of interest for me and my home experience usually far out paces the outside of my home experience.

How far do you sit away from the TV in your main viewing room?

10-12 feet

TV screen is 49 inch? Not sure.

From Google AI:

For sitting 10 to 12 feet away from your TV, you should aim for a screen size between 75 and 85 inches. This size range ensures the screen fills enough of your field of view for an engaging experience without causing eye strain.

Have any of you seen the movie since I posted this in May? What are your thoughts?

I have watched the preview and thought about it.  Is it worth the time to watch?

On Amazon Prime now.

I watched it a month or two ago and really enjoyed it. I still think I like Interstellar more, but that’s one of my favorite movies. Definitely pulls at the heart strings when you’re watching it as a parent.
