Project Hail Mary
A optimistic, science-forward survival story rated PG-13, praised for its themes of courage, sacrifice, and friendship. Intensity comes almost entirely from existential peril and a handful of upsetting scenes rather than graphic content.
If you’d rather skip
Grace wakes from his coma and discovers the dead bodies of his two crewmates; the gray, mottled skin of one astronaut is briefly visible before he arranges funerals and ejects the bodies into space.
In flashback, Grace is chased by technicians, tackled, and forcibly injected with a tranquilizer before being placed into an induced coma and launched on the mission without his consent.
Astronauts in flashback briefly discuss preferred methods of suicide to be used after completing the mission, including lethal injection with heroin; not depicted, but stated plainly.
