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.

This film is not quite the masterpiece its grand visual scale sometimes suggests it’s shooting for. Still, it’s pretty consistently enjoyable, with a message that the viewing public could afford to hear.

This is the most ambitious picture, in terms of structure and spectacle, that the filmmaking duo of Lord and Miller have ever made, and sometimes it reels out of their grasp.

“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.

All the tropes, whether they are mysterious planets or a dangerous spacewalk, are in service of something far simpler. At its core, Project Hail Mary is a buddy comedy.

Although it’s possible PROJECT HAIL MARY doesn’t have quite the gravitas some of the story’s darker and more philosophical corners offer, its constellation of stars remains resolutely undimmed.

Great movie to watch while a launch to the moon is happening. The memory will be cemented in that way. Ryan is such a good actor in this movie and the visuals were awesome.

It was so nice to watch a movie that showed individuals from 2 very different backgrounds coming together to solve a common problem, true friendship and respect, and no one is trying to harm another. No nastiness, and in a believable manner!
