I thought it was a bit plot by numbers (vis-a-vis the book). It didn't really have the emotional punch that the best Sci-fi does - Silent Runner, Solaris (either version) or Arrival etc.

I liked it. But for me it ranks around Moon (the Duncan Jones film) level.

Not all films have to have an emotional punch.
This was a film about a coward who found friendship and a reason to be brave. It's a feel good film. Which leaves you happy (which is the most important emotion). Which can be just as good. Really enjoyed it.

Project Hail Mary. Lovely film. Sure everyone would enjoy it.
Hear they are planning a second one. Definitely not needed. Should just leave it as is.

Amazon MGM are making far too much money selling merchandise to let this movie be a one-off… Rocky might become as much of an earner as Baby Yoda / BB-8 / Ewoks in a certain other family friendly sci-fi franchise

Unfortunately you are correct. The author would probably like to cash in aswell.
If they can come up with a good story great.

This was a very personal story though. Where do they go next? Humans meeting erids? Another stellar threat? Dunno.
