"Science fiction (often shortened to sci-fi or SF) is a genre of speculative fiction that deals principally with the impact of actual or imagined science and technology upon society or individuals. Unlike fantasy, which relies on magic or the supernatural, science fiction grounds its imaginative elements in scientific principles, theories, and plausible extrapolations of current knowledge. "


So no, didn't make it up.

What you're talking about is more commonly called Hard Sci Fi.

I would say the Martian is more hard sci fi than Project Hail Mary.

"Not a very good science fiction movie but a fun feel good movie." I never claimed it wasn't science fiction, I just said it wasn't very good science fiction.

I can add on, here's the story. Hey random guy that had an idea once, teach our astronauts that idea! Nevermind that people in the real world don't think that non carbon based life is impossible. Wait, your idea isn't relevant, they are carbon based. Oh no, the ship blew up! Looks like you, with no training and no relevance are our best option! Everyone dies in the space ship but him. Meets rock. Let's learn to communicate, because that's not a totally normal thing to attempt or whatever... and I'm awkward. Magical space communicating science happens! Maybe the only science fiction thing in the movie other than the particles. Etcetera. I liked the movie, it just happened to be in space instead of a uncontacted tribe on earth or something. That's fine. I wish they would have shown their essential differences more, both in belief and tech.
