I remember growing up in the early 2000s and before the iPhone hit mass popularity, with the likes of the iPhone 4, RIM's Blackberry line of keyboard-clad smartphones took the world by storm. The movie BlackBerry does a good job telling the story of how a small Canadian tech startup, Research in Motion, developed a groundbreaking idea: a device that combined phone calling with mobile email, secure messaging, and a compact QWERTY keyboard designed for fast thumb typing.

Project Hail Mary (2026) Movie Review
*This review contains minor spoilers*
Throughout the years, we have seen our fair share of space movies. Some of the most popular sci-fi films include Star Wars, Alien, and Interstellar, all of which explored the idea of distant planets and alien life forms. Then, in 2015, we got a sci-fi movie based on Andy Weir’s 2011 novel, The Martian. This film stood out from the crowd because it didn't feature fictional planets or alien lifeforms; instead, it focused on an astronaut stranded on Mars after a mission went wrong and his team was forced to leave him behind. Weir was able to effectively craft a story that was grounded in science while still exploring ideas that hadn't been done in real life. This created a compelling story without feeling overly science fictional. Essentially, a book/movie that a broad audience could enjoy. Ten years later, in 2021, Andy Weir released another sci-fi novel called Project Hail Mary. Again, Weir was able to craft a story that was grounded in science but was still able to tell a compelling sci-fi story. Now that Project Hail Mary has been adapted into a film, I am going to talk about my thoughts on this movie.
