Project Hail Mary continues to draw strong streaming praise
Hive mind, is Project Hail Mary appropriate for a science-y 8-year old boy?
Yes. It's PG-13 in the US and 12A in the UK. There are bits where it looks like the characters might die (by which time you care about them), so it depends how comfortable he is with that sort of thing (that's very child dependent).
My 9yo adored and jumped straight into the book (which at worst has occasional salty language). My 6yo had no issues with the movie. I'm a bit more permissive than some parents but there's nothing in the film that's objectionable imo.
I'd say totally fine although he might get bored due to the length
If I recall when he wakes up in the shuttle there are dead bodies. That part is probably worth skipping and just explaining what happened.
Yes, my six year son and ten year old daughter both loved watching it.
Yes. 8-year old daughter who is not science-y enjoyed it
Watched Project Hail Mary tonight and I'm genuinely cryin it was so cool. Had some beautiful scenic moments that will be burned into my memory, and a friendship that was forged that was deeply moving. I absolutely love and adore this story, and I appreciate the sexy astronaut white man butt
