Critics Consensus

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.

Audience Says

One stellar Gosling + one arachnid-ish alien + one Hail Mary mission = lightning in a spaceship.

“Project Hail Mary” certainly qualifies as an uplifting experience at the cinema, being a mix of selflessness, sacrifice, camaraderie and even a certain amount of melancholy.

3/4

As far as rousing, interstellar science fiction pulp adventures are concerned, directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller pull out all the stops with the monumentally entertaining Project Hail Mary.

What’s not to like? Well, there’s the fact that Project Hail Mary so desperately wants to be loved. For all the heart-warming button-pushing, there’s something off-putting about a picture so aggressively feelgood.

The kind of smart, optimistic sci-fi that’s hard not to root for, and one that blends brains and hope in a way that’s irresistible.

With [Ryan Gosling] at the helm, a little Spielbergian sensibility, and stellar visuals, "Project Hail Mary" feels like a triumphant return to classical blockbuster filmmaking.

...Gosling’s spent all these years developing remarkable control over his movie-star charm, and he knows how to calibrate its excesses and keep you enthralled throughout.

Fun and Very Entertaining! A little confusing at times trying to understand their terminology, probably Sci-Fi anyway but Enjoyable from start to end. Nice idea to make an Alien a good guy for a change. Worth going! Bring Popcorn and Enjoy!

Soooo good! I was worried about sitting that long in the theater but the story was well told and the imagery so awesome. We bought ScreenX tickets for the first time. My teenager and I thought it was the best movie we've seen in a long while! Ryan Gosling (and Rocky, of course) nailed it 10000%. Excellent movie! Will definitely be watching again when it comes out.

This film is amazing. The visuals are gorgeous and the plot is well done. Where this film really shines is with the characters, humor, and heart involved in this space adventure. Ryan Gosling also gives a great performance here as well. Definitely a theater worthy watch.
