Science teacher Ryland Grace (Ryan Gosling) wakes up on a spaceship light years from home with no recollection of who he is or how he got there. As his memory returns, he begins to uncover his mission: solve the riddle of the mysterious substance causing the sun to die out. He must call on his scientific knowledge and unorthodox ideas to save everything on Earth from extinction... but an unexpected friendship means he may not have to do it alone.

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.

3.5/5

Because of Gosling’s dexterity as a dancer, not only do these ships twirl and whirl in space, but frequently, so does Grace.

3.5/5

At 2½ hours plus, it also has its longueurs but there are some spectacularly beautiful moments and Gosling makes an engaging companion who makes something poignant as well as funny out of Grace’s unwelcome elevation to hero status.

Focuses on survival rather than spectacle. A Disneyfied disaster movie.

In Hollywood, the hail mary is always the same, safe move, as movie after movie insists that forever in to the future, even at the end of the universe, the same hero will do the same thing over and over again.

I really do get a sense that this will go down as one of the great sci-fi classics of our lifetimes.

Such a good film! Enjoyable even if you haven’t read the book. Such a good adaptation for those who read the book first. Very minor differences, but it’s awesome to put faces to characters.
