I really liked both the book and the movie Project Hail Mary. But the movie really had a few elements that made me annoyed.
The first and biggest one was how our intrepid hero was able to figure out how to pilot a huge space craft that he otherwise should know nothing about. I would have introduced an AI of some sort as a character that would have taken care of all that and filled that particular plot hole.
Meanwhile, another issue was the selection of The Beatles “Two of Us” for a very crucial scene, when, I think the case could be made that “Get Back” was a lot better. But I get it — they wanted to convey a lot of information with one song and in this instance, “Two of Us” did a double duty that “Get Back” could not.
Anyway, I really liked the movie. It was really good.
