In yet another solid weekend performance at the box office, the new sci-fi blockbuster ***[Project Hail Mary](https://collider.com/tag/movie/project-hail-mary/)*** passed two massive milestones. In doing so, the film overtook a host of past hits, including one of the most well-liked sci-fi blockbusters of the last couple of decades. *Project Hail Mary* stars **[Ryan Gosling](https://collider.com/tag/ryan-gosling/)** in the lead role of a schoolteacher who awakens on a spacecraft with no memory of how he got there. Based on a book by **[Andy Weir](https://collider.com/tag/andy-weir/)**, whose previous bestseller served as the inspiration for [**Ridley Scott** 's ***The Martian***](https://collider.com/tag/the-martian/), the movie was directed by [**Phil Lord** and **Christopher Miller**](https://collider.com/best-phil-lord-chris-miller-movies-shows-ranked/). It opened to excellent reviews and has been exceeding box-office expectations with stunning consistency over the last few weeks.*Project Hail Mary* is being distributed domestically by Amazon MGM Studios, and, [unlike many of the studio's earlier titles](https://collider.com/tag/the-covenant/), has been given a wide theatrical footprint. It was marketed as an event [designed for large-format screens](https://collider.com/project-hail-mary-review-ryan-gosling-sci-fi-lord-miller/), and has done particularly well on IMAX. The movie holds a "Certified Fresh" 95% critics' score and a "Verified Hot" 96% audience score on the aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, where the critics' consensus reads, "A visually dazzling space odyssey that's carried along effortlessly by the gravitational pull of Ryan Gosling at his most winning, *Project Hail Mary* is a near-miraculous fusion of smarts and heart."Which *Sci-Fi World* Would You Survive? The Matrix · Mad Max · Blade Runner · Dune · Star Wars Five universes. Five completely different ways the future went wrong — or sideways, or up in flames. Only one of them is the world your instincts were built for. Eight questions will figure out which dystopia, galaxy, or desert wasteland you'd actually make it out of alive.💊The Matrix🔥Mad Max🌧️Blade Runner🏜️Dune🚀Star Wars01You sense something is deeply wrong with the world around you. What do you do? The first instinct is often the truest one.02In a world of scarcity, what resource do you guard most fiercely? What we protect reveals what we believe survival actually requires.03What kind of threat keeps you up at night? Fear is useful data — if you're honest about what you're actually afraid of.04How do you deal with authority you don't trust? Every dystopia has a power structure. Your approach to it determines everything.05Which environment could you actually endure long-term? Survival isn't just tactical — it's physical, psychological, and very much about where you are.06Who do you want in your corner when things fall apart? The company you keep is the clearest signal of who you actually are.07Where do you draw the line — if you draw one at all? Every survivor eventually faces a moment that tests what they're actually made of.08What would actually make survival worth it? Staying alive is one thing. Having a reason to is another. Your Fate Has Been Calculated You'd Survive In…Your answers point to the world your instincts were built for. This is the universe your temperament, your survival instincts, and your particular brand of stubbornness were made for.The Matrix
- You're drawn to understanding how the system works before figuring out how to break it.
- You'd find the Resistance, or it would find you — your instinct for spotting constructed realities is the machines' worst nightmare.
- You function best when you have access to information and the freedom to act on it.
- The Matrix built an airtight prison. You'd be the one probing the walls for the door.
- You don't need comfort, community, or a cause larger than the next horizon.
- You need a vehicle, a clear threat, and enough fuel to outrun it — and you're good at all three.
- You are unsentimental enough to survive that world, and decent enough — just barely — to be something more than another raider.
- In the wasteland, that distinction is everything.
- You read people accurately, keep your circle small, and ask the questions others prefer not to answer.
- In a city where humanity is a legal designation rather than a feeling, you hold onto something that keeps you functional.
- You're not a hero. But you're not lost, either.
- In Blade Runner's world, that distinction is everything.
- Patience, discipline, and political awareness are your core strengths — and on Arrakis, they're survival tools.
- You understand that the long game matters more than any single victory.
- Others come to Dune and are consumed by it. You'd learn its logic and earn its respect.
- In time, you wouldn't just survive Arrakis — you'd begin to reshape it.
- You find meaning in being part of something larger than yourself — a cause, a crew, a rebellion.
- You'd gravitate toward the Rebellion, or the fringes, or whatever pocket of the galaxy still believes the Empire's grip can be broken.
- You fight — not because you have to, but because standing aside isn't something you're capable of.
- In Star Wars, that willingness is what makes all the difference.
